There are a number of foreign communities in CR. Interesting that the US is here, Canadians there, Italians somewhere else, nice community of Austrians, and so on.

I know a lot of folks who fished the salt and lowlands. I want to fish the lowlands for some of the spiny rays; they are super beautiful. But, I fish for trout, specifically Redband Rainbow that are some of the prettiest I have ever seen. And abundant. Like 20 6-10"+ fish in each pool. They aren't dumb, but an hour's fishing should bring 5-10 to hand. In a nice warm beautiful spot, pretty birds all around, what's not to like.

I know there are some real toads there as I have seen redds that approach normal steelhead size.
