Takemefishing.org released its annual  2016 Top 100 Family Fishing & Boating Spots in America.” As my executive editor and I agreed, this is a pretty subjective list, so just because you and your kids’ favorite fishing hole didn’t make the list, don’t let rankings spoil your destination. But here are the California locations that made the cut:

5. Clear Lake State Park.

6. Brannan Island State Park 

29. Yosemite National Park 

38. Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge 

66. Shasta Lake Bridge Bay 

86. Doran Regional Park, Bodega Bay 

So there you have the Golden State contributions to the list. I would have thrown Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe in there, but what do I know?
