Hi! I'm a Survivor of a deadly wildfire & before the fire I fished everyday in the SF Bay Area. My leg was badly burned during my escape from the fire & I ended up losing my leg & I'm in a wheelchair now. It's been 5 years since I fished & I want to get back into it again. I do saltwater & freshwater. And I'm in Sacramento now. I need some suggestions of places in Sac or close to Sac that I can get to in a wheelchair. Ive reasearched where all the wheelchair accessible fishing docks are around here but I'm looking for places that have spots I can roll up to & fish. So like flat grounds or concrete, or even a steep drop leading to the waters edge that I can launch a line out. (Not to brag but I can cast like you wouldn't believe).
Thank you for any suggestions

Are u capable of getting into a boat?
I can't help you with a spot McAnna but good luck!
I have never tried. I'm assuming I could a pontoon if there was a ramp so I could bridge from the dock to the boat or something. But a regular aluminum boat I seriously doubt I could do that.

Yeah it might a little hard for u to get in my boat. Try the public pier at Rio Vista. Great handicap access and good striper fishing. Use filleted sardines. Call Rio Vista bait shop they are very helpful.

Yeah, we encountered them last time we were there. They can ruin a good day!
Stay strong and true. I grew up in Sacramento some 60 years ago. I missed the 50s. So much has changed. I'm sure the fish haven't changed....LOL!
