I usually fish from 5:30-10pm on weekdays and bump into a few anglers and miners, and swing and step down runs, swing, and step, repeat. Good spey casting pract...

Upper Sac: Fishing best until 11am and after 5pm. Some big fish are up from the lake in the lower access points. McCrowd: My first time here.

Yuba river history?
(Preview)
Hi All, What's the history behind the giant concrete structures at the lower Yuba? And the submerged dam downstream? Are these remnants of stuff damaged by the 1996 flood? Not really fly fishing related but I've been going there a lot and started wondering about it.

We did well at Putah this past weekend but we'...

Natives
(Preview)
So I was just reading the new edition of TU mag and there is a great article on golden trout in there. It got me wondering about true natives versus wild fish that are born into a river like Putah. How many species are from California? Curious to see some of your answers.

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...
