Placer County Supervisor Weygandt and Rivers of a Lost Coast Producers

Sorry about the long drought since the last post, some large rainbow trout in Oregon’s stillwaters were calling.

Tonight, the film makes it debut in the Russian River town of Monte Rio, home of legendary north coast angler Bill Schaadt. This promises to be a special event and is expected to have a large turnout. Doors open at the Monte Rio Community Center at 7:00 and the show begins at 8:00 pm. Tickets will be available at the door.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Crest Theatre on Saturday to see Rivers of a Lost Coast as part of the 10th annual Sacramento Film and Music Festival.

Earlier this month, Placer County Supervisor Weygandt, presented filmmakers Justin Coupe and Palmer Taylor with a special commendation for their work on Rivers of a Lost Coast. This was a great honor for the two filmmakers; especially Coupe, who has resided in Placer County for his entire life. Here is a link to a photo of the presentation.

The Legislature has approved a bill to temporarily ban suction dredge mining in the state’s rivers, a largely recreational practice blamed for harming salmon spawning habitat.

The Senate on Monday voted 28-7 to approve Senate Bill 670 by Sen. Patricia Wiggins, D-Santa Rosa. It was approved by an even wider margin in the Assembly last week. The bill contains an urgency clause, meaning it becomes law immediately upon signing by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. It would ban suction dredge mining until the Department of Fish and Game completes a court-ordered update of regulations governing the practice.
