Some buddies and I rented the USFS American River Guard Station cabin and spent the weekend playing poker and fishing the American and Bumping River before the rains came mid-afternoon Saturday. We drove along a forest service road that paralleled 410 along the American River and found some slots and holes that held feeding cutthroat. We caught four total, with many smaller fish hitting but not taking our spinners. Red and bronze (as per usual) was the key for these wild fish in a size #0 or #1. The Mepps red spinner with a bronze back is my go-to any time I'm fishing wild trout...really anything with red will do. It was a great weekend and a beautiful locale for our annual fall poker/fishing retreat.
