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.

Mariposa Life:


Scott Pinkerton
My friend and partner in history, Jack D. “Scott” Pinkerton, passed away this last week in Madera after an eventful and very busy life.
We often talked about his life growing up, being in WWII, and returning to Mariposa to marry Beverly Preston, kiddingly we called her our babysitter.

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.
