Hereis your chance to own a well set up cattle and hay ranch. 350 acres, fully fenced and cross fenced, with over 5 miles of new 6 strand fencing with double H steel braces at every corner and powder river gates. The ranch can irrigate 296 acres from the Pit River from a diversion ditch. Ag pump in ditch distributing water via underground mainline to irrigated ground. Approximately 210 acres flood irrigated and 40 acres under wheel lines. The owner currently runs 180 cows from June - October. There is an old mobile home, not in living condition. Power, well and septic available, this would make a great building site. Waterfowl hunting is at a prime with all the water running through the ranch. Thousands of acres of National Forest just minutes away. Alturas is about 15 miles to the East on Highway 299.

This film shows the importance of having a shared family pastime to sustain them through good times and bad. The love of nature is shown throughout the movie. The father of the two main characters is a preacher, and he sees God and spirituality in the forests and rivers the family loves so much.

Despite their faults, Paul and Norman are brothers who love and try to take care of one another, and they care deeply about the rivers and forests around them and the fly-fishing pastime that centers their lives.

A character who has been drinking whiskey all night brings a prostitute with him on a fishing trip. They both pass out, and their naked rear ends are exposed. The man later is shown trying to walk, unclothed with his buttocks exposed, after getting a terrible sunburn.

Parents need to know that A River Runs Through It is a 1993 Robert Redford-directed movie based on a story by Norman Maclean. Given that it's a movie set in Missoula, Mont., in the early decades of the 20th century, characters often are shown drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes. Also, a Native American woman is referred to as an "Injun," and a character makes reference to "colored jazz." Early in the movie, two boys are shown dancing in a silly manner in front of several prostitutes lounging around behind a building. There are some fistfights -- characters are shown bloodied and bruised during and after the fights. In one scene, a character visiting from California drinks whiskey all night and well into the day and brings a prostitute with him on a fishing trip. They both pass out face down in the woods, buttocks exposed. The man is later shown trying to walk, unclothed and also with buttocks exposed, after getting a terrible sunburn.

In A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, Norman and Paul Maclean are raised by a Presbyterian minister father (Tom Skerritt) who taught them their schoolwork, religion, and fly fishing as though they were all one subject; all were taught strictly and thoroughly. Norman (Craig Sheffer), though more sober, loves the wild streak in Paul (Brad Pitt) that makes him "tougher than any man alive," but fears it will destroy him. And it does. While Norman becomes a professor of English literature and falls in love with Jessie Burns (Emily Lloyd), Paul becomes a reporter and gets into trouble drinking and gambling. Norman is called by the police to get Paul out of jail, and, ultimately, he's called again when Paul is killed.

Based on writer Norman Maclean's autobiographical story of growing up in Montana, this is a moving, powerful drama that combines gorgeous cinematography with earnest, heartfelt performances. IA River Runs Through It isn't perfect, but its father-son themes (and all the fishing) have given it a special place in a lot of grown men's hearts.

This film focuses on two brothers who are opposites in many respects. How were these "opposite" qualities revealed as the film progressed? What are some other examples of movies in which two main characters are "opposites" of each other?

The Cedar River watershed in southeastern Minnesota is part of a larger river basin that covers 7,485 square miles, mostly in Iowa. The river runs south 54 miles from its headwaters in Dodge County, through the city of Austin, to the Minnesota-Iowa border. The Minnesota portion spans 592 square miles of prime agricultural land with many streams and drainage ditches flowing into the river. The watershed is fairly flat with a few shallow lakes. People have installed extensive artificial drainage systems that facilitate farming and transportation but also alter the hydrology in negative ways.

The city of Austin, the regional economic hub, is located on the Cedar River at the confluence of several tributaries. Austin and the rest of the watershed have a history of flooding that results in crop losses and property damage to both rural and urban areas

To address the problems with sediment and nutrient pollution, many local units of government, led by the Mower County SWCD, coordinated the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) project to identify sources of pollutants, recommend reductions in pollutant amounts, and outline ways to achieve those reductions. Participants included:

Landowners have installed and maintained conservation practices in the Cedar River watershed for many decades. As federal, state and local partners worked on the Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) report, they pursued a more coordinated and comprehensive approach. Projects include:

The Cowlitz offers 2 runs of salmon and 2 runs of steelhead each year, making it a year-round fishery. The Cowlitz River drains out of the Cascades, through Lake Scanewa, into Riffe Lake and finally makes its way through Mayfield Lake before being able to run free. The Cowlitz flows through the towns of Toledo, Castle Rock and Longview before ending up in the Columbia River. The whole river is fishable by jet boat below the Barrier Dam and at different points during the year I venture into nearly every section of the river as I guide my clients during various runs.

The Cowlitz River offers some good salmon fishing opportunities for over half of the year. With fairly consistent water temperatures and multiple holes, this tributary of the Columbia River offers both spring and fall runs of salmon.

Cowlitz River Salmon fishing kicks off in the month of April with the arrival of Spring Chinook Salmon. These fish remain in the river well into August, but fishing is focused on the months of April, May and June. The Spring run will regularly see over 20,000 fish return which makes it one of the larger Spring Chinook fishing opportunities in the region. We will target these fish by side drifting, backtrolling diver and bait and even by twitching jigs.

Cowlitz River Fall Salmon begin entering the lower river in August and good fishing for Chinook and Coho will last clean through October on good years. Cowlitz River Fall Chinook are good biters and a lot of fun to fish while enjoying our awesome fall weather.

Cowlitz River Winter Steelhead start showing up in December and run all the way through March. The Cowlitz will see a run show up around the middle of December that lasts through the middle of January, and then another run will show up in March and last well into April. These A and B runs offer big strong fish that are great eaters and fighters!

The Cowlitz is a long river and many that book their guided fishing trips with me wonder which part of the river they will be fishing. There are two major locations that we fish out of, Castle Rock, Washington and the boat ramp out of Blue Creek near Salkum, Washington.

Been there, done that. I also witnessed it a few weeks ago while helping a new fly fisher with his casting. Bringing your rod back too far on the back cast will also result in hooking brush or tree limbs or in slapping the water behind you if you are casting straight upstream.

Perhaps I can pay tribute by listing a few characteristics that they all had in common. These characteristics can help you identify a mentor if you are new to the sport. Or, they can help you be more effective when you get the opportunity to mentor a younger fly fisher.

My mentors did not sigh or curse (at least not audibly) when I slapped my line against the water, when I was slow to set the hook on a strike, or when my backcast hooked a branch. I may have even hooked one or two of my mentors. They simply went over their instructions again and again.

These mentors are some of the best fly fishers on the planet. But none of them felt the need to inform me about this. I had to coax out of them the stories about their fly fishing heroics The best mentors do not have egos the size of a jumbo jet. They do not need to tell you how great they are.

We have assembled ten questions you can ask your fly fishing friends. You can use these as conversation starters. Or, simply post them on Facebook to see if they go viral. Here are the questions as well as our answers.

DAVE: I just bought a pair of Patagonia Foot Tractors (wading boots). It was time. I wore a pair of Simms boots for way too long. The soles were worn, and last fall on the Gardner in Yellowstone National Park, I struggled to wade more than up to my knees.

STEVE: I dropped the top two pieces of my four-piece Orvis eight-and-a-half, four-weight rod into the Owyhee River in eastern Oregon. The pieces floated away. Thankfully, the good folks at Orvis treated it like a broken rod and replaced the two missing pieces. Actually, they gave me a new rod.

DAVE: Probably last fall catching browns, cutts, and rainbows on the Gardner River in Yellowstone National Park. It was an unbelievable two days of unlimited catching (and releasing). The second best may be the year previously on 16 Mile Creek in Montana when Steve and I had a banner day fishing hoppers.
