No New Posts Heavy tippets with nymphs on the yuba? (Preview)
whilst lobbing nymphs yesterday on the Yuba, I waded on out and hucked my little 5x to 6x rig to the middle of the riffle where it was immediately engulfed by the largest trout I have ever seen. I'll put it in the 30" range (A disclaimer; at 62 years old I have no need to lie about this stuff). in the 5 to 10 seco...

No New Posts Russian River (Preview)
I have to assume that this rain is going to open the mouth of the Russian and bring some steelhead into the system.  Has anybody driven by the mouth or seen what the river looks like?  It's that time of the year when I start to get nervous sitting around the house waiting to get out and give them a try.

I was wondering if any of you guys have been there and have any input. I am going to be near bishop just below the pleasant valley reservoir in the wild trout section. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been tightlining a lot lately and I'm not sure if the waters are conducive to that style? And ju...

No New Posts Merced or Yosemite region (Preview)
Hey guys, En Route to Paso tomorrow from Sacramento figured I would travel a fair bit off the beaten path and see if I could find some new trout water.  Anyone have any suggestions for fishing the Merced or anything in that Western region of Yosemite?  I planned on driving down the 99  and head East.  Any...

No New Posts Pit (Preview)
Fished Pit 3 with the hordes.  Lots and lots of grabs, landed about half.  Fish were from 10-20+.  Vast majority on  basically a modified black ap in 14's.  Rest on dark lord and prince also in 14's.  They were the only 3 flies I used/needed.  Water is high but you can cross the river in the rapid sections...

No New Posts Upper Sacto (Preview)
Drove up to see an old friend in Dunsmuir.  Fished the upper Sacto in two spots.  Stopped at Delta in hopes the browns were coming up from Shasta.  The water was as high as I'd ever seen it.  Fished an hour with no hits.  Finally, I added a significant about of lead to sink my nymphs to the bottom.  Started b...

Anyone fish near big tree state park near Arnold, CA? I fished it for about 30 min last year and caught a small Brookie. It looked like hard wading access.

No New Posts Catfish on a fly rod! (Preview)
I caught my first catfish on a fly rod.  Little sucker tried to clamp down on my thumb.  With all the water this year the bass were biting as well!  Pound for pound smallmouth fight better than trout!

Look at the size of the bass on Berryessa.  13.89 pounds!  probably hard to get on a fly rod, but I have heard dragging a worm on the bottom is very effective.  http://lakeberryessanews.com Also Pyramid is firing up if you want to catch a giant trout...

No New Posts Curing Shrimp for steelhead (Preview)
I want to cure a batch of shrimp for steelhead. (called coon shrimp) It's difficult to find whole small shrimp in the SF bay area to use. I've been thinking of using grass shrimp. They are easy enough to get with a small gage trap and a little bait. Has anyone tried curing them for steelhead? If so what was t...

No New Posts Anyone fishing the Napa River (Preview)
With the spawn happening on Putah some of us have been fishing the Napa for stripers. It's been pretty good but can be hit and miss depending on the day and time. A boat, even a 12' with a small outboard makes getting to the fish a whole lot easier than fishing from shore. You don't need to run far so anything...

No New Posts Yuba River Fishing (Preview)
With Putah Creek fishing tapering off to let the spawners do their job undisturbed, I plan to fish the Lower Yuba  whenever weather permits. The Yuba is a challenging river but when trout are in the mood, it can be a lot of fun. I usually fish upstream of the Hwy 20 bridge and start with nymphs. If fish i...

sorry if this should be under rants and raves.  I've been trying to catch a carp in Vietnam on the fly.  Are there any carp fly fisherman that might have any advice?  Locals in Hanoi here use 12 foot long bamboo rods with a handspool of heavy mono; they attach a heavy sinker to a hook with some type of bait, a...

My pal from the down the street, Mike Swaney, aka "Bernard" is seriously guiding again.  if you're interested in catching stripers and trout in the same trip or just stripers, you should hire him to float the river.  Mike's been fishing the Stanny for like 30 years and is acquainted with each striper o...

Going up to the Truckee tomorrow with a buddy.  Haven't fished it this year at all.  I usually fish nymphs during the day and little yellow sallies in the evening.  I like fishing with a large nymph (stonefly of some type) and a smaller dropper (copper john, hares ear, etc.)  I've had some success with m...
