Northern California Striper Fishing
My mind wandered as I sat in my office, peering out the window. My long-awaited vacation was coming
soon and I'd be traveling to Northern California. Yep, I was dreaming of fishing on the beautiful
Sacramento River. I had made the reservations for me and my two young sons, and they were as anxious
as I was.
When the 3rd week in April finally came, we were packed up for the trip North, and were soon on the road.
The trip was good and our hearts pounded with anticipation as we moved closer to our destination. We knew
the Stripers were in and we could hardly wait! At last we were there. The hotel accomodations were great,
though it was hard to sleep because we talked about fishing until I had to force the boys to go to bed.
Ken was there for us bright and early the next morning. Now, I thought... the fun would really begin.
We drove out to the river and the morning air was cool as we boarded the Vicki Ann. Ken guided us through the
safety instructions and then we cast off onto the river. It was better than I had dreamed and the boys were so
excited, they couldn't stop talking! As the boat glided along the water there was so much beauty to behold.
A bald eagle swooped so close to the boat that it almost took our breath away. I tried to follow it out of sight
with my eyes, but the boys were already seeing fish... lots of fish. This was it! Ken had the lines out and
suddenly two of the rods bent hard! The boys were the first to grab them, and then it was pure pandemonium!!
I can't describe the joy in their eyes; it was like Heaven to be on this river. As the fights went on, Ken was
ready to help the boys in any way he could, but he always allowed them to bring in their own fish.
By afternoon, the day grew warm and comfortable, and it seemed as though the fun would never end. Eventually, we
realized that the sun was beginning to set. So we ended our day by watching the gorgeous sunset. This trip couldn't
have been better and I'm so glad that I chose Ken as our Guide. All I can say is... we can't wait to come back again!
