South fork of the American river(where they discovered gold in Ca.), and Lytle creek, cucamonga Ca.

Scary.

First time was in Jasper in Canada. Can't remember the name of the river but I have a pic of me and my dad and my first rainbow on a fly.

Wow, that's a tough one. I'm pretty sure it was at Lake Mary (Mammoth Lakes). Once you try a fly you say bye bye to spin gear.

Nice picture what happened to the one of you standing next to the Owens river?

Bruce, Lytle creek really used to be scary with all the fully automatic weapon fire there, back in the 80's.
