Rivers of a Lost Coast will be at Modesto’s State Theatre tonight at 7:00 pm. Filmmakers will be on hand to answer questions.
Interior Sectretary Ken Salazar announced yesterday California would receive 260 million dollars from the federal stimulus package to fix dams, restore fisheries and fish habitat, and help the state with drought conditions.
Matthew Yi and Kelly Zito of the SF Chronicle wrote, “After three years of less-than-normal rainfall and shrinking snowpack in the state, California officials have made revamping the state’s aging water infrastructure one of their top issues. The federal money will pay for shovel-ready projects that had idled as state officials scrambled to find funds. In addition to the $260 million announced Wednesday, California is likely to qualify for much of the $135 million in federal grants set aside for water reuse and recycling projects, Salazar said. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger thanked President Obama for helping secure the federal funds, which will be part of tens of billions of dollars likely to flow to the Golden State as part of the federal economic stimulus package.”

A memorable collection of steelhead anglers gathered this past Saturday at the Russian River Sportsmen Hall in Duncan Mills. Well-known fly fishermen Russ Chatham, Lani Waller, Hal Janssen, Frank Bertaina, Art Delosso, Jim Adams, Neil Light, Dave Strong, Len Bearden, Dorothy Zdicki and Doug Brutocao were among the 200-person crowd. Northern California anglers of seasons past, Bill Schaadt, Myron Gregory, Michael Fong, Jim Green, Mel Leven, Bob Nauheim, Grant King and Gary Rowand were honored.
The always-entertaining Tooch Colombo tackled the kitchen, feeding the raucous and well hydrated crowd. Lani Waller presented a slide presentation on the Silver Salmon of Paper Mill Creek, before Russ Chatham spoke on the current state of the fishery. Various anglers added their frustrations with the dilapidated state of the Russian. A bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace closed the evening, allowing the attendees a moment of reflection. Bill Hutchison of Fishing International was the master of ceremonies. Hal Janssen, Frank Bertaina and Steve Jackson of Kings News and Tackle helped organize the event.
