Fishing in Mariposa
County
A blast from the past photo.
This week in February 2007 the Merced Flyfishing Club along with
the California Department of Fish & Game stocked the Merced
River with trophy sized trout.
In the photo James Laird, who was President of the Merced
Flyfishing Club proudly holds up one of the trophy sized Rainbow
Trout before slowly letting him go into the Merced River.
A few of these lunkers may still be lurking in some deep
hole on the Merced River waiting for an enticing meal to float
by.

Understanding County Government V
The first significant change that took place in county government in California, took place in 1880 with a revision of the State
Constitution. The two most important changes were the creation of a Board of Supervisors to govern the civil activities in counties and the creation of Superior and Justice Courts. Understanding County Government V
Understanding County Government IV
In September of l850 California became a state of the Union. Mariposa County became a county that was responsible for
administering 20% of the total. Understanding County Government
Understanding County Government III The announcement yesterday by the Governor about all the cuts
needed to
begin balancing the budget in California I believe marks the end, or at
least is significant to the history of our state. It is a frank
admission that California, the Golden State, has just about legislated
itself to death.
