California winter rainbows.

I love hearing of anglers catches from around the world. Micha Kubassek who has been spending a lot of time in California sent us these images of rainbows he has been catching right in the Sacramento River.

California has an amazing stocking program both for salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout. In fact, many of their reservoirs are stocked annually with rainbows that provides anglers hours of excellent fishing. Most fishermen either cast small artificial lures like Vibrax spinners and ultralight crankbaits for them, or fish a sliding-sinker rig on the bottom with a corn kernel, small cheese ball or prepared trout bait.
