Never did fish in the Yuma area. In my younger days, I would camp & fish
both sides of the river and canals (CA. & AZ.) all the way up to the
Davis dam. In 1994, I took an exciting 30 day adventure, it was great.
The Salton Sea was my favorite and thats going back quite a few (too
many) years. LOL. Have caught some nice bass and huge cats in some of
the canals around the Palo Verde and Blythe area on the CA. side.
Oftened fished for carp using a mini rod & reel on 10 lb. test line.
Wish I had my photos handy. All boxed away in unmarked boxes. By the
way, I live in east San Diego county, El Cajon. Still great fishing in
this area, so I read. Have a nice day. (Dick)
This is a Corvina caught at the Salton sea. Wish I coukld say "the gal
is all mine".

Hi Dick, I guess we are both old enough to remember the "good ole days"
!

I fished the Salton Sea back in the early 70's, caught some nice corvina
off the old coast guard fueling pier. But the heat, the wind, and the
smell, finally got to me, and I opted for the river later on!

There was one beer bar there on the "Sea", and it wasn't air
conditioned, and the beer was warm, but you could get out of the sun
anyway grin.

That place reminded me a bit of west Texas....miles and miles of miles
and miles....and nary a tree to mar the view !

Sorry to hear you are not able to fish anymore...that's about all I do
now a days.
