how many bow fishermen do we have here ?

[Tavvi]

Back east(upstate NY) I used to bow fish a lot... carp, Bowfin and an occasional channel ca caught in the beaver pounds. I used a recurve and a compound at different times... Compund is much easier of course but there is nothing like hooking into a 20lb carp with the recurve... but moving to North Bay of California, has left me out of that kinda fun. I hadn't even seriously fished until recently where I just move to the Russian river. Still trying to figure out all the rules regulations and what the heck the fish are going to bite at. Saw some Salmon flying through the air and a couple of spent steelheads but besides a few bull heads and some baby salmon/baitfish-heh I haven't manage to attract anything.

I think I'd get in a wee bit of trouble bowhunting for them flying salmon... []
