We are having typical March weather, showers and sunshine. The last rain did not blow-out the Eel River. Steelhead fishing is still good. These photos were taken at the South Fork of the Eel River and Sprowel Creek today. Anglers are wading out into the riffles and some are launching drift boats and finding luck there and at Sylvandales. Check back for more fishing and river conditions.
Are you wearing green? Today is St. Patrick’s Day and…as the luck of the Irish would have it…our Executive Chef has prepared a wonderful Irish dinner special with Corned Beef, Caraway Smoked Bacon Cabbage, and New Buttered Potatoes.
We are having spring-like weather and the trees are exploding with fragrant blossoms. Our golf course and hillsides are lush green and golfers are out there getting their swing in shape for the season.
Here’s a fun factoid…Did you know that Humboldt County is ground zero for Big Foot? Many North Coast States claim they are, but the story of a hominid-like creature living in the Redwood forests and the name “Big Foot” was coined by the Times-Standard newspaper of Eureka California, almost 50 years ago. The famous Patterson-Gimlin film of a Big Foot sighting was shot in Bluff Creek, here in Humboldt County. The existence of Big Foot is hotly debated by experts. Most of our guests are here to relax and enjoy the many amenities Benbow has to offer, but some visitors come to see and walk among the Redwoods and decide for themselves. Are you a believer?
