Clyde Wands has driven 50-some miles south from Sacramento, winding across a maze of levees and sloughs with his 17-foot boat hitched to his Ford pickup. Backing down the marina ramp, he prepares to launch the Old Fisherman onto the river's south fork. It's cold, but Wands doesn't care. Now in his mid-70s, he's out on these waters nearly every single day, even when wintertime temperatures occasionally fall below freezing.
