Never been up that way before and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll have the whole family in tow, including the in-laws from LA, which means there'll be lots of babysitters and potential fishing time. Where are the "must fish" spots? I don't mind driving an hour or so to get to good fis...

My woman asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday in March. The obvious answer was to fly fish. In order to make the experience inclusive, I came up with the idea of a cabin located on a trout stream. Can anyone suggest a place with simple cabins on a stream/river that holds trout? Send me a PM if you don't...

I found a box on the yuba today and would be happy to return it to the owner. PM me and give a accurate discription and we can meet. No name or phone number on it. I wrote my info on my boxes as soon as I got home. We should all do this.

I think thats the name of the stuff up at Putah. It's starting to bloom (granted the poison oak is starting to leaf out as well) which means the other spawn is kicking in. Berryessa Bass This storm front coming through Tuesday night through Wednesday will give them lock jaw for a few days. No weather t...

Went out to the Yuba yesterday and threw a few flies. The skwalas are starting to show and there are some big green caddis flying around. Hooked a few landed a few and had a big grab on a mercer skwala dry. The locals from grass valley are throwing their top secret skwala dries and hooking up. The water...

I fished the Pit river last Tuesday and did very well. Most fish are in the 16 to 18 inch range. The hardest fighting fish that I have come across. The river is high but the fish are in there and there are very few fisherman. If you go, bring a good wading staff as the rocks are very slippery and there are n...

I know people are fishing Putah, but is anyone fishing anywhere else? I hit the lower Yuba 2 weeks ago for a half day and did ok. Nothing over 13" but still was good to get out and hook up some trout. This winter sucks so far. too cold to golf, no snow to go boarding................ -Ty

Two buddies and I fished the Stanislaus below Goodwin Dam yesterday, Jan. 2. Weather was decent for January, not too cold and the sky was overcast. Flows were in the 300+ zone, a little high for this time of year, but definitely fishable. Fishing was a little crowded in the prime spots, so if you're...

A very long time ago I wanted to fish the Russian River for Steelhead. This is the year to start. I was told to use shooting heads and swing the flies. What flies work? Can you nymph? Where is the best place to start. When do the Steelhead make there run? Thanks Dave

Made it all the way up to the Trinity only to catch a handful of smolts and a 8" brown. The big fish were definitely there, as well as huge crowds of both wading and boat anglers. Had a big fella on for a split second and lost him as soon as he rocketed upstream and into the air. There were alot of salmo...

Went for a little drive in the rain yesterday for an itch to do some fishing on my favorite river, and it paid off well. For the most of the time it was raining but there were a few breaks through out the day. I was set on this river for a certain hatch but the cold weather kept them sleeping but midges and an epi...

I pulled this report from the Redding Fly shop......Some changes have occurred over the past two years. All anglers should be aware of the new increased flows in Pit reaches 3, 4, 5. Pit 3 now has a minimum flow of 280 to 350 cfs which is up from 150 cfs. Pit 4 now has a minimum flow between 350 and 450 cfs whic...

Fished the 850 cfs flows with MX19 and Dr. Chris below the 20 bridge. Man, what skinny water. Salmon on redds with their backs out of the water, riffles so shallow the boat got hung up twice, normal high water mark over 3 feet above the water level, pulling the boat back up rather than rowing to repeat a dri...

I spent last Thursday to Sunday in Bridgeport with 3 other guys for a Fall fishout. We fished the East Walker on Thursday and Friday. We caught a good number of fish but nothing of much size as compared to past Fall trips up there. That report seemed consistent with other fishermen we talked to on the wate...

I'm going camping this weekend up to Gualala, right on the banks of the river and I'd hate to go all that way and not wet my line. I've never been steelhead fising before, is it too early? any pointers for a rookie? is my 6 weight rod too light? All the DFG regs say is artificial lures, barbless hooks, and ze...

So I hit the North Yuba a couple days ago and while fishing one of my favorite spots, I noticed something moving in the shallows right by my feet.

Before the thread question starts again for this October about whats up with the drastic drops soon followed by sudden jumps back up in the flows, I can tell you that its due to the cleaning of the Putah South Canal by Solano County Water Agency.
