Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out Lake Bon Tempe. I also
appreciate the info on the Russian River. Since I'm new to this whole
thing, any help at all is a great help.

Try Lake Bon Tempe in Marin County.

Summer is the wrong time of year for the Russian River. You have
already missed the (puny) shad run. Flows are regulated for the
recreational user, not the fishermen from Memorial day through labor
Day.

Don't laugh too hard when you read this. Thank you.

Do you know how far the RUssian River is from you? I hear it has a good
shad/steelhead/salmon run.
