13 Apr 12 - 26, 2019 VOL.38 • ISS. 9 Willfish Is Fishing Tackle Headquarters In The Gold Country Foothills W illfish Tackle isn’t a big box store. In fact, the store isn’t very large at all, but it has everything you need for catching fish from the coast to the Sierra. I’ve been shopping at Willfish for a long time because they stock a full line of gear and components. Line, hooks, rods, reels, lures and an array of natural baits. Owner Craig Newton even stocks some hard to find items such as wooden Lyman Lures and Arctic Fox trolling flies. Craig loves to fish and he’s always ready with advice whether you’re looking for a limit of stripers in the Delta, by Cal Kellogg a double digit cutthroat at Pyramid or just want to enjoy an afternoon soaking PowerBait at a local lake for some pansize rainbows. Right now, Willfish is locked and loaded for trout and kokanee season. With all the rain and snow we’ve had things are getting off to a slow start, but when things pop we’re going to have more action than we can handle. If you need to top off your trout and salmon fishing supplies, drop by Willfish and marvel at the wide selection of gear that Craig has packed into his shop! Willfish is located at 11944 Masters Court, Auburn, Ca. For more information call (530) 887-0839.
