Great experience Pardee Reservoir is home to a plethora of Bird Species! So while you getting in your fishing, look for Bald Eagles, Great White Egrets, and others. A day on the lake spent with all the species is a good day spent on the water.

After purchasing his first boat at 18, Jared spent all his free time fishing and honing his skills on the California Delta and the Motherlode lakes. Jared is located in between the meca of fishing San Francisco, Sacramento, and Stockton; he started fishing at local and regional tournaments and found great success, and gained lots of knowledge in new techniques and fishing strategies.
