Actually, is it just me or are the channels now bigger in Calaveras? In years past we'd catch a mess of channels, but we also had to throw back many undersized fish. Last Saturday, my son, my granddaughter, and I fished Calaveras and we kept every single fish we caught. We didn't throw back any fish (not even one) because it might be undersized. In fact, we did not even measure a single fish. Every fish we caught was clearly a keeper. Most were in the 17-18 inch range. We finally stopped fishing because we weren't sure how we stood (limit-wise), and since the livewell was packed full we knew we had a chore ahead of us back at the fish cleaning station. We counted 52 back at the fish cleaning table.
