Kayaking: Silver Fork American River 5/6/2014
Spring kayaking in California on the Silver Fork of the American River. Located just outside of Kyburz, CA, this run boast’s one of the steepest miles in Lars Holbek’s guidebook, “Best Whitewater in California”. An early morning lap with Scott Lindgren, Thomas Moore, Jared Nocetti, Scott Ligare, Taylor Cavin, and Robby Hogg. I did see a few fish rise right before the river rapidly started to drop. I have yet to bring my fly rod into the middle of this stretch of river.

Fly Fishing the American River#1: Silver Fork
Last fall there was a rumor swirling around town that a Fish & Game truck broke down on it’s way to Silver Lake where they planned on stocking 16,000 lbs of rainbow trout. The story goes that to save the fish, they dumped all 16,000 lbs into the Silver Fork American River. The boys and I decided to go and check it out.
