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...

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...

Has anyone attempted the little Truckee lately? Its my understanding that the water is open year round but nearly inaccessible this time of year. Any insight or suggestions for other water would be greatly appreciated.

For those of you waiting for spawning season to end at Putah... I went to the Lower Yuba on Sat and caught a few 14 inchers, plus hooked a few other good sized ones.
