Northern California: , by Andrew Harris: 3 stars

This afternoon I had an unprecendented and highly entertaining experience at the Powerhouse Riffle on Hat Creek.  Clients Mark and Mike enjoyed about 45 minutes of unproductive fishing before a group of about 40 people floated through on a wide variety of floating devices.  In aluminum boats, floating rubber ducks and flamingos and good old truck tire tubes, a happy entourage of Shasta Beer Weekend folks floated, scraped and bumped their way through the riffle.  They were very curteous and apologetic, but they turned out to be our good luck charm.  We started hooking fish as they went by us, and I could actually see the bigger fish swimming around eating all the bugs dislodged by this crew.  Fishing was much better after they went through.  We landed a couple of quality fish up to 13" - remember that every fishery is measured differently - and quite a few smaller fish on nymphs.  Cheers to Shasta Beer Weekend!
