eisely Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We did a fifty miler on the Sacramento River in June that was quite successful. I had anticipated mosquitoes, but we were hardly bothered at all. Two of our camp sites were near large rookeries of cliff swallows on concrete highway bridges crossing the river. Between the swallows and the bats, the mosquitoes were thoroughly suppressed. So if you see cliff swallow nests near your camp sites, count your blessings.

eisely Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 We put in at Red Bluff, just below the diversion dam and pulled out at Big Chico Creek (at least I think that was the name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
