Ty's Take

The spring bite's been coming in fits and starts across the basin and up into the Sacramento foothills, which means half the county's about to remember why they moved here in the first place. Between the base schedules, the missile range closures, and everybody's work calendar, it's easy to forget there's decent water running through this country when you're not looking at it.

If you've been meaning to drag the old tackle box out of the garage, this week's the week to quit meaning it.
