One of my favorite areas in California for hunting and fishing is around Butte City. Many of the irrigation ditches have good bass fishing in the spring. Less than 2 miles up the Sacramento River, I caught shad until I was tired of fishing 3 years ago. I have seen some big sturgeon come out of the river. I have gotten my limit of both dove and pheasants on opening day. The irrigation ditches are crowded with crayfish when the farmers drain the rice fields. I like this area. Over the years, my family has become friends with the owners of the Butte City Club. My friends have decided to sell the bar. If I owned a house and had enough equity, I would be gone now. This would be a great place to retire. The bar makes a very nice income. Hunting and fishing are within walking distance. What a life. I'm posting this to the net for my friends. Please do not reply to this message. Do stop by the bar and say HI to Sandy for me.
