I remember a Mike Callahan ?? My father was Marvin Morales, originally from Louisiana. He worked at Ospitals Garage and Scotts Mill I went to Burney High from 69 - 72. WOW not many people on earth have been born on Hatchet---lol I worked in high school at Dicks Chevron on main street. This just made me do a search of Vaughns Sporting Goods and they closed down 8 years ago. The last of the Vaughns. Still trying to figure out how I related, as owner Steve Vaughn was the son of my mothers sisters husband Rex's brother, Walt.. Im sure your dad and I know a lot of folks there. He had to know the Vaughns, as they also had the only insurance company in town. Holy cow was fishing great back then. No flatlanders in the woods! When Burney Creek would dry up in summer we would noodle huge Browns from under the dam and in pools throughout the mountains. Of course there was Baums Lake. My friends father was head hatchery ranger there and I knew when they were releasing big older spawners from the hatchery when it was trenches cut in the ground and not the concrete troughs it is now. I could still probably be a guide for spots in a 50 mile radius around Burney, except Id have to buy a ticket from ticketron to even enter the forest. God has this earth changed. All I ever used for lures was a super duper and a yellow bucktail spinner. I caught the most fish on plain old huge live grasshoppers. Now Im being racked with pangs of nostalgia!tastybrookies said:
