California Fishing Clubs

The best way to learn new fishing techniques is to join a fishing club.  Lots of information can be found on the internet, but ultimately you need to get out there and test it out for yourself.  You will find that getting out on the water with locals is a sure fast way to learn about how to catch more fish in your local area.  Joining clubs also allows members to organize fishing  tournaments, events, and pass on important values to future generations of fishermen.
