West Fork weekday fishers — enjoy it while it lasts

This sign near the Pasadena Bait Club House, didn’t survive the Bobcat Fire, but it still say it all. Next sign, let’s scratch “fishermen” in favor of “fisher folk.” (Credit: Jim Burns)

Just when the SoCali fly fishing community thought it could relax and put the wet boots up, turns out that’s not the case. Word on the stream-street is that the weekday closures will begin again in March for more silt removal that could last another two to three years! Yup, that means all the heavy equipment comes back, the guy at the gate will most likely be shooing folks away and — you will be trying to fish your weekend way through the inevitable growing spring and summer crowds.

So, enjoy this wonderful winter quietude while you can. It ain’t gonna last.

See you on the river, Jim Burns

      1. This week is dicey until I get some things settled. Following week is Oregon (I know, poor me) and then the Hall Show. So last week in January or early February would work well. Look at your calendar and we can make some plans. Have not fished up there in years so will need some fly advice. But I still have my 2 and 3 weights! M
