Had the pleasure of joining friend Ken Berryhill on a trip to the Smith River in CA.  Ken has been friends with Mike Coopman of Mike Coopman&#8217;s Guide Service for a long time, and we had a great couple of days on the river together.  Low and clear conditions meant you had to work hard and be very stealthy for these skittish fish.  Mike really knows this river intimately and he was able to use his expertise to put us on fish despite the very difficult conditions.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in booking a trip to the Smith River, give Mike Coopman a call.<br \/>\nYou won&#8217;t be disappointed.  He is very professional and will work very hard to give you an unforgettable fishing adventure.<br \/>\nPhone:  #707-218-4501<br \/>\nEmail:  catchin2manyfish@hotmail.com<br \/>\nWebsite:
