On this episode of the Talking NorCal podcast, Zach and Bob go through the news of the week including the massive fossil discovery in the Sierra Nevada, the battle over the spotted owl in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Crystal Geyser backing out of Mount Shasta, "Vampire Fish" on the American River and a hidden bunker found in the burnt area of Big Basin Redwoods

Finally, they sit down with fly fishing author (and father) Chip O'Brien to discuss safe catch and release practices, fishing in the drought, the best places to fish during the summer and the dumbest things he's done in NorCal
