THIS WEB SITE'S PURPOSE, IS TO SHARE WITH THE VIEWERS, NOT ONLY MY EXPERIENCES FISHING VARIOUS PLACES IN NORTH AMERICA AND ELSEWHERE. BUT TO ALSO SHARE WITH YOU, MY FISHING COMPANIONS, THE WATERS WE FISH AND THEIR BEAUTY. INCLUDED ALSO, WILL BE A LITTLE HUMOR AND FISHING PHILOSOPHY.
MOST OF THE MORE EXTENSIVE TRIPS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN DEDICATED PAGES, WHILE MANY OF THE SHORTER LOCAL TRIPS WILL BE COMBINED ON A SINGLE PAGE. EACH WILL BE GROUPED BY YEAR. YOU MAY EASILY FOLLOW FROM PAGE TO PAGE WITH THE LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE, OR YOU MAY USE THE NEW SITE MAP BELOW.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY VIEWING, AND IF YOU ARE A FISHERMAN, MAYBE WE WILL FISH TOGETHER SOMEDAY. IF YOU ARE NOT YET A FISHERMAN, MAYBE THIS WILL STIMULATE YOU TO GIVE IT A TRY.
I AM A MEMBER OF THE DIABLO VALLEY FLY
FISHERMEN, AND PARTICIPATE IN MANY OF THE CLUBS ACTIVITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE
FISHING OUTINGS TO WATERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS OTHER SOCIAL AND
EDUCATIONAL EVENTS. ANYONE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT OUR CLUB MAY CONTACT ME OR
THE CLUB DIRECT .(SEE LINKS AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE)

THE FOLLOWING, COMES FROM A FATHERS
DAY CARD GIVEN TO ME BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER RACHEL. I THINK IT IS TOO
ACCURATE AND FUNNY NOT TO SHARE. "GIVE A MAN A FISH, AND HE'LL EAT FOR A DAY. TEACH A MAN TO FISH, AND HE'LL SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON FISHING GEAR AND TACKLE, SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS WAITING TO CATCH A FEW PATHETIC FISH , AND BORE EVERYBODY HE KNOWS WITH TIRESOME STORIES ABOUT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY" |
| AS THIS SITE BUILDS, IT HAS
BECOME LESS EASY TO MANEUVER THROUGH ALL THE PAGES, SO I HAVE PUT
TOGETHER THIS SITE MAP TO MAKE NAVIGATION EASIER, ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS
LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC LOCATION OR JOURNAL. IF YOU WISH TO VIEW ALL THE PAGES OF A YEAR, CLICK ON THAT YEAR'S LINK. IF YOU WISH ONLY TO VIEW A SPECIFIC JOURNAL IN A GIVEN YEAR, CLICK ON IT'S LINK. |

CUSTOM FLY RODS BY ERICKSON THE BUILDING OF RODS, GRIPS AND REEL SEATS, IS JUST AS MUCH A PART OF OUR SPORT AS THE FISHING ITSELF. AS FOR MYSELF, IT IS A WAY FOR ME TO APPLY SOME CREATIVITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TO THE INSTRUMENTS USED TO FOOL THE FISH. AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE ITEMS DISPLAYED ON THE CUSTOM PAGE, I LEAN TOWARDS THE ORGANIC LOOK, ESPECIALLY IN THE USE OF EXOTIC WOODS. WHEN I BUILD A ROD, EITHER FOR MYSELF OR FOR OTHERS I LIKE TO HAVE A THEME, WHEREIN THE ROD, WRAPPINGS, GRIP AND REEL SEAT CONVEY A COHESIVE IMPRESSION. AT OTHER TIMES, I JUST BUILD WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS. THE FOLLOWING LINK WILL TAKE YOU THE CUSTOM BUILDING PAGE; CUSTOM BUILT |
