Spent a few sweet hours on the creek today. Kinda foggy yet kinda sunny never saw another person. Fishing was pretty good too. Missed a few landed a few, one of which was one to remember?an absolute tank with an attitude. 25" with some big ol shoulders.

Brian, Shawn and I hit the creek long and hard on Sunday.? It was a tough day.? Brian had a few misses and got a nice one in the fanny, Shawn had a smaller one on and off and I was a big zippo for the day.? I spoke with a number of other guys fishing the river and it was pretty much the same except for one guy who land...

Flows up to 90 cfs-this is probably SCWA doing their pulse release?for the salmon that come up the creek from the Sac River toe drain to spawn? below the diversion dam. If so, they?should last about a week at this level before dropping again.

They say it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. That thought came to mind while contemplating the the second BIG fish I'd hooked and played for about 15 minutes and subsequntly lost yesterday. Got to the parking area above the bridge at about 6:30 and was streamside before fi...

Now that the regular season is closed its time to watch for the intentional violators, or the simply uninformed, that are using illegal methods of fishing on the creek. Keith's Sticky Topic contains some good posts and?a link to report suspicious activity. You might also call Cal-TIP toll-free: 1-...

Started at?Access #1 around 9am but it looked really crowded. Headed to Access #3 with my wife and with SouthPaw as well. As you can see by the pictures we hauled in some real hawgs. Rumor has it these pigs spawn throughout the year but increase in numbers from April through November. You stand your best...

Hey I went out after the first half of the 49ers game! Much better to go fishing. Tried a new area, found a hole, and drifted it. Saw several big fish but could not entice them. The cold water prevented me from hanging out there too long. Moved on to a typical spot and worked the rapids. I was lucky to have nob...

We went out in the morning for a half day of fishing and it was completely dead all morning. I was fishing PTs, Copper Johns, hares ears and a bunch of other nymphs. Finally towards the end of the day we each got a strike and on my last cast into a little log jam i caught this little guy.
