In a great surprise to filmmakers Justin Coupe and Palmer Taylor the new Director of the California Department of Fish and Game Donald Koch (who was finally confirmed last week by a Senate committee after a year on the job), showed up to watch the 5:30 showing of Rivers of a Lost Coast. A handful of Fish and Gamers attended the screening. After the Q&A session, Koch expressed his appreciation for the film with Justin Coupe, sharing stories of his father, who was part of the “Lost Coast” generation.
The film played to a pack house in Berkeley last night. Ky Boyd and the wonderful staff of the Rialto Cinemas continue to push the film with a 110% effort. Everyone is eagerly awaiting next week’s Rialto screening at their theatre in Santa Rosa.
Filmmakers Justin Coupe, Palmer Taylor and stars of the film Walt Bennett, Joe Shirshac, Joe Patterson, Chuck Campana and George Innes were featured on KCRA’s 6:00pm news yesterday.
The film plays again tonight in downtown Sacramento at the Crest Theatre at 5:30 and 8:00 pm.

Associated Press members JEFF DONN, MARTHA MENDOZA and JUSTIN PRITCHARD reported today US Manufacturers including drug companies have released atleast 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often provide drinking water for millions of Americans. The most alarming aspect of the comprehensive investigation, is the federal governments consistentency in turning a blind-eye to the released chemicals. In what is described as a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, government oversight on a variety of released chemicals and pharmaceuticals has been un-tracked for decades.
From the AP report:
To date, drugmakers have dismissed the suggestion that their manufacturing contributes significantly to what’s being found in water. Federal drug and water regulators agree. But some researchers say the lack of required testing amounts to a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy about whether drugmakers are contributing to water pollution. “It doesn’t pass the straight-face test to say pharmaceutical manufacturers are not emitting any of the compounds they’re creating,” said Kyla Bennett, who spent 10 years as an EPA enforcement officer before becoming an ecologist and environmental attorney.

San Francisco, CA
Starting this morning, the Jimmy Green International SPEY-O-RAMA and Fly Casting Festival began on the hallowed grounds of the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club. The event centers on Spey casting competitions with single hand and two-hand casting demonstrations by fly casting experts. There are three ways to cast a fly line with the traditional single-handed rod; the roll cast, the overhead cast, and the Spey cast. The Spey cast originated and was developed in Scotland and is most often used with two handed fly rods.
The event is held in honor of the legendary rod-designer, line innovator, casting instructor and fisherman Jimmy Green. Mr. Green grew up in the Bay Area where he spent countless hours in the casting ponds of the Oakland Casting Club and the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club. Originator of the ferrulite ferrel, shooting head, and numerous break-through rod tapers, Jimmy Green is respected as one of the most complete anglers the sport has ever seen.
Some of the world’s finest casters will descend upon Golden Gate Park this weekend. The events run daily through Sunday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
