Kings River July 23 2023

tjm, I remember exactly why they passed that county ordinance as well. Sheriff and his family were down there one weekend and a bunch of women were showing there ta-tas off in front of his wife and kids. No, they rarely enforce that one if ever. Why would they since money revenue is up for the county since the pandemic?

@ollie yeah, I remember that at the time I thought the ordnance would be unenforceable given Court decisions in NY and other states. The equal rights and sex discrimination rulings back then would have required that it apply to men as well as women.   I'll bet that there has never been a prosecution under that ordnance and I believe that is the only non-emergency County ordnance we have.  Sheriff's wife, I knew it was some politician's wife but couldn't recall which one.

I haven't spent much time on the river for a few years, but when I was last at Mt Shira and at Cowskin, both were open latrine areas. You needed gum boots to walk across the parking lots, with clothing used for toilet paper and left there. I thought about that when reading Brian's rant on Taneycomo.

Wow! I'm really sorry to read this about the Kings River, I fished there in the 70's and 80's usually early in the Spring for white bass and caught crappie and a walleye now and then. I had a 16 ft. Bass Tracker with a 40 merc and would make it up to the Romp hole although not sure it had that name back then. I wonder if the white bass run is still going on there in the Spring? My fishing partner and I caught some really nice whites back in the day!

No floating for me between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  Late September through November is much better on all of the rivers - especially if we get a little October rain.
