Horseshoe Bar Preserve is quite simply one of the nicest places I've ever fished. My first day out as a guest, I caught 9 gorgeous rainbows.. ALL on dries! Tom Bartos has put together a phenomenal preserve on the middle fork of the American River. I love the fact that it is private and keeps the fish killers out. It's peaceful and serene... and in my own back yard of Placer County. Thank you, Tom! — David Naves, Auburn, CA
