By Paul J. Kneeland This has been a very trying spring and summer, with Covid 19 shutting down most of the economy, and now extreme heat and forest fires turning the sky smoky gray. My brother Ken of Merino, Colorado and Mary Mihm of Nebraska, joined Bridget Looney and me on an escape to Eagle Charters in southeast Alaska! After weeks of 90 to 105-degree days, it was wonderful to soak up the rain, clouds and beautiful scenery of the Inland Passage.

By Paul J. Kneeland The Sacramento River salmon season is underway, and the fish are starting to fill the river and fish boxes up and down the system. I fished the upper river with guide Dan Ponciano and my friends Dave Barsi of Oak Run and Brian Garcia of Colfax. Brian and I hit the road in Colfax at 3:30 am and were at the Ball’s Ferry Boat ramp about 10 after 6. Dave drove in at the same time, and Dan was ready to launch his 25 foot North River sled as we arrived.
