Sierra Anglers - Modesto, California

Bob Nakagawa won't tell you where good fishing spots are. He Google Earth's them, and shows you with the little yellow dude drag feature. He put me on to the East Walker River and though I got shut out during a ridiculous day trip, he was right about where to fish. The problem was the dudes around me caught them. Anyway, Sierra Anglers has a tidy selection of rods, reels, gear, maps, DVD's and flies. The guys that hang out by the back table are willing to share stories and really give it the feeling that you are out by a river somewhere, not in the middle of Modesto.www.sierraanglers.com
