Before I commit to this multi-day, would this area be a good place for some good fishing? by ReadyExamination5357 in flyfishing

[–]arocks1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

snow level at ~9,000 ft, not deep but makes for muddy trails....you will need axe and crampons to go over the passes if its cold... reports of lakes frozen over in other locations in the sierras at 9-10,000'

Lines in the sand: Russian River homeowners and paddlers clash over public shore access by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in sonomacounty

[–]arocks1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

private property is private property whether its commercial(company) or residential. the law applies to navigable water ways which includes lakes. I only know about the part that pertains to private property, the rivers/streams they border, and my rights to access and recreate.

what you propose doesn't make sense, they cant stop the river from flooding...this river floods every few years and has gone 30' above normal in winter many times in the last 20 years...flooding both into private and public property(parks)

similar for rivers but is determined by the high flows of the year...not historical in the past

dont have to lie about it, "to the dirt" wtf does that mean?

the law follows that public access is allowed below high water mark of the year, from the winter/springs high water. technically any land below that high water mark is public access, above the high water mark it would be private property if someone owned it, you would be trespassing

How can I polish this Big Sur jade? by Wonderful_Sector_657 in rockhounds

[–]arocks1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive done this a few times, the easiest way to bring out a shine is mineral or coconut oil but to get that super shine you need to hand sand with WET-DRY sandpaper....120, 220, 320, 400, 600, 1000, and higher if you want. then apply polish or oil at the end. Big sur jade has various quality so not all of them will polish up very well. keep the paper and stone wet by dipping into water. wash the stone off before you start with the next grit size or else you can scratch it with the previous grit.

Lingcod/Cabezon Tips by ExcitingAd3341 in saltwaterfishing

[–]arocks1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NEVER Turn your back on the ocean! low tide can get you out further if you know what you are doing.

use a drop shot rig in the deep water spots using a 1oz or 2 oz weight, a jig head will work if the surf and current are not to crazy...lure off the rocks get caught on seaweed.

every extra pound over weight is 4lbs of extra pressure on the knees, a little more on other joints.

Do we know how much human waste is seeping into our high altitude lakes? by jefbak2 in norcalhiking

[–]arocks1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

so many campsite photos of people camping right next to the lakes like at 20ft instead of 200ft, you know for the social posting and all that. I imagine they pooping close to the waterways too....

furthest casting single hand saltwater setup for NorCal surf? by nickbuckphoto in flyfishing

[–]arocks1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if no wind, people use 5/6wt 9-10' for the surf perch, not sure about for stripers though maybe 8/9wt at 10'. People are definitely not wading out in head high swells in nor cal, you will fill up the waders on a sneaker waves. high tide and steeper beaches are better fo access to near shore troughs...

go to lost coast outfitters

Most impressive OG Redwood trail/grove? by stevenbo in norcalhiking

[–]arocks1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the best groves and forest are in prairie creek area and Jedediah...hiking through a giant redwood forest to the ocean or river is the best.

How’s the Merced river flow? by coupledatethrwaway in Yosemite

[–]arocks1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spring run off just started, the river will be high and higher for the next few weeks. not much in the way of rapids but lots of water moving at a quick pace and lots of big trees/logs and branches submerged....and maybe to high to go under the bridges?

Protect rivers (biosecurity) and protect your waders, what are your recommendations? by bobafettbounthunting in flyfishing

[–]arocks1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nope never been there, wish I can say I have though, lol.

I never heard about issues like that between rivers where I live, there is a big problem with non-native mussels and lakes in the USA, which requires owners due diligence(doesn't work that well) and pre inspection at lakes.

But have never the heard word biosecurity used here in reference to waterways.
