ISE is behind us. It was an experience speaking three days in an open exposition hall. Met many fine people and seems we are wanted next year. Spring is around the corner and I will be traveling to Picachous State Recreation area on the Colorado River above Yuma to camp and fish for bass and other species as well as photography in this bizarre, remote area. Have never covered any area in Southern California. Picachous is as far South and East as it gets in this state. Equally important will be camp cooking. Re-reading Francis Mallman’s Seven Fires and new book: On Fire…100 Recipes. We will focus on Argentine grilling and simple logistics. Looking for fresh fish and will include our experiences in my Foraging Angler Column in California Fly Fisher
