A river trip sounds good to me. I floated the Merced River May 31st, fly fishing with my dad. I caught 2 largemouth, 1 spot, and 5 smallmouth; all on poppers. My dad caught one 2 lb. smallmouth on a wet fly. The water was a little cold at that time, but it should be plenty warm by now. It is a long trip, 10 - 12 miles, with some great water!

I say we float the mighty Merced.
