I recently learned something about the PM system that I had somehow missed in the 2+ years I have been a member.? I always had to go to the site to see if anyone had sent me a PM and Kieth recently told me that I could change a setting in my profile to automatically receive an email notifying me that a new PM had...

Fishing Etiquette Question
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I ran into a situation today on the creek that raised a question of proper fly fishing etiquette, and I am interested on hearing your thoughts. I went out for a couple of hours at dawn to fish a spot I like, a fairly small hole about 30 feet across.? I like it because dries will usually catch a few fish there,...

Nets and minimalism
(Preview)
I'm on a minimalist kick and replaced my vest with a Fishpond San Juan chest pack that?I really like. I asked the vendor who sold me the vest where I hook on my net and he didn't really have an answer, other than to say he doesn't use a net. Instead he "tails 'em." By that he meant that he brings the...

Arrived to the creek this morning at 7.00am. After seeing what Brian landed a few days ago I began to understand what the term "Putah Hog" really meant. Clearly the fish I have been managing to bring in were not in the Hog Class, fine fish, but I needed some work. So,today was a school day on the...

Arrived in a strange misty dawn at my favorite spot on Putah and proceeded to step ankle deep into fresh mud. So much for the dry socks. Opened with a Tan Fox Pupa and some heavy weight t...

Jesus H...Got to my favourite hidey hole last week and counted maybe 14 monsters in full spawn colors "doing their thing". The largest was a whopping 3-4 pounds easy, all I could do was admire them until the sun came over the hill tops and glinted me away from the scene. Cold, real cold, like f...
