Thanks folks for all the tips. Sturgeon huh? Haven't tried that one. Although there is a great book titled "Sturgeon Tales" about this area. I highly recommend it! chris

Starcrafttom, Thanks for the information. The reach above the Feather sounds interesting doesn't it? chris

I will be hauling Mzkaye down to the Sacramento area in a couple of weeks to take my dad fishing and explore old haunts. In particular I want to cruise the delta area and further up the Sacramento river. It has been awhile since I've seen this area. I'm figuring Rio Vista for delta cruising...

Mzkaye (CD16 cruiser)has a rule 1100 that works sporadically, or not all. I have cleaned it up several times, the last time seemed to fix it so it will run if the rocker switch at the helm is activated. I have never witnessed the automatic switch turn on nor seen any evidence that it has...

Ditto on everything said above. I'll just add one more thing. There is a growing contingent of C-Dory owners in the area including my wife and I on Mzkaye. Give us a holler when you arrive, we'd love to meet another C-Brat! chris Mzkaye

I have also used MzKaye as a floating office. Creating and writing lesson plans as well as reading papers and grading tests for my middle school students becomes a very pleasant task . Chris

Sounds good Pat! I was going to ask where the dog would sleep, but we all know that he will be in the middle of the bed. I used a seat like the ones you have purchased and it performed well as long as I didn't lean to far in anyone direction. Get yerself back to Pend Orielle and we'll go mack...

Pat, Thought your idea about not trusting your odds on the hill were right on. My last trip out to Pend Orielle was in 20 degree weather, the ramp iced up during the day and it took three trys to get Mzkaye out of the water. Slid backwards into the lake twice! Not Fun!! :shock: I'm waiting for...

congrats you guys!! :beer this one's for you. chris MzKaye

Thanks Bill and El, Pat and Patty and Jody for coming up to the Inland NW. I enjoyed my first CBGT. The highlight was meeting you brother and sister Cdory owners. While you all went on to Priest Lake, I returned to LPO to meet up with Steve and Lorainne and their boat, Straycat. Another great...

Anchoring in this lake is difficult. Back in the day, folks would anchor-up and fish with handlines for Kokanee salmon. They would carry hundreds of feet of line on huge spools for this. The mooring bouys (2) at Maiden Rock are exposed to the predominant South wind. However we have stayed there...

LPO (lake pend orielle) is a great place! I am looking forward to my first CBGT :P This is home water for me and "MzKaye". If there is anything I can do to smooth things out, let me know. The swimming was wonderful yesterday as was the fishing. Chris MzKaye
