I have recently moved to Dixon from Vallejo because of school.? It's nice, because I can fish the creek more during the school quarter.? My wife and brother-in-law are new to flyfishing and don't really like to fish Putah Creek yet.? They prefer the constant action of bluegill and crappie fi...

Im going Ducking hunting in Willows this Saturday and was looking for a river to fish for Sunday.? I have to be in West Sac on Sunday afternoon. I can't seem to find a decent or recent fishing report. The lower Yuba sounds like the flows are too high, the feather is just a nasty river and the American so...

Has anybody fished the cottonwood lakes (1-5) for Golden Trout? I was thinking about going for the golden with a friend this summer and that area looks pretty cool. If so, just curious on peoples thoughts about it. -- Edited by MotoGP at 18:42, 2007-01-05

Here are some pics from Almanor. I had a great time but only got to break out my fly rod for one day; I found out that there is a stream still open to fishing (thanks to my 06/07 reg book) on the other side of the lake, but for the most part it was my spinner. It was worth it though, the fish were huge...

Hi folks, I've been enjoying my role as the "uncle that takes the kids fishing" and as the kids are getting a little bit older (8-10) I think it's about time to take them on a camping trip some where. Right now they're still bait fishing but it's pretty reasonable to expect these guys...

Can anybody recommend any good streams that are open to fishing that are within a 2 hour or so drive of Sac.? I like Putah, but that can get kind of old sometimes. Any help is much appreciated. Oh and Happy holidays/ Merry Christmas (Gotta be politically correct!) Matt

I have been fishing Cache Creek off of Hwy 16 a lot this Fall. Pretty much all I catch are a fairly dark colored greenish fish that look very much like trout, but aren't. Their body type and fins do strongly resemble trout. They prefer the more still water holes....

Has anyone ever fished the Arroyo Seco, below the footbridge? The regs say it opens December 1st. Above the footbridge, 3.5 miles upstream of the parking lot, is open for fishing during the summer. I went hiking there a few summers ago and brought a rod in my pack, i...

Spent a day floating the Lower Sac and a couple half days on the Upper Sac. Lower Sac, as usual was absolutely tremendous! Had to adjust to setting the hook at such deep depths (this took longer than I would like to admit with me losing a few solid strikes), but once I got in the groove it was bi...

I was wondering if anybody has ever fished in Yellow Creek by Lake Almanor. I have a place up there, but that is one the few streams I havent checked out yet. Just wondering if it is good.

Had the day off yesterday and made a quick run up to the N Fork of Stanislaus just for the day. Had a pretty good day fishing around the Sourgrass access point. The morning started slow, but then I caught a couple wild rainbows about 8 inches and then came into a group of obvious planters.&nb...

Just got back from Idaho, fishing the north fork of the clear water river. My buddie and I go up there a couple of times a year. It's strictly west slope cutthroat and bull trout. Lots of them.

Made another day trip (wake up at 4:30, on the river by 8, back in the car by 5) up to the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus. Last time I fished the North Fork. I particularly like the Middle Fork because it is such as classic small stream with really defined characteristics (textbook drop dow...

Anyone have recommendations for salmon this time of year ? Both location and patterns would be nice. Most of the upper reaches of the big rivers are going to be closing soon and I wanted to try to catch one or two before the closings while the fish are still "bright".
