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.

Heading up to Sunriver for a few days with some boys for a multi day golf trip. We're staying at the resort and I see the Deschutes goes right through a couple of the courses on the resort property. Needless to say, I'm dragging some fly gear along too for the evening hatch. I called a fly shop in SUnrive...

Just got back from a great morning on the Pit at Rock Creek. Had 6 fish in the net with a 17 incher the best of the bunch. Took a couple of swims and filled my waders which felt pretty good in the heat. Tough river to fish. I think I lost about 20 flies and I never had so many fish break me off. The big ones run str...

April and May when the rivers are still a little high. I have found you can have a lot of fun in the lakes. One of the lakes is by Almanor and is full of small mouth bass the other good lake is full of brown trout that fight like crazy!

My brother is visiting in early May for a week and is a big bass fisherman. We're planning on exploring the Delta, but I don't have much expereince with that water. I'd like to hire a guide for a day or two, but my brother being a gear fisherman might complicate matters. Anyone know a Delta bass guide wh...

Hey all, Anyone know if it's too early to fish the South Fork of the American along highway 50? I'm looking for a place to bring my girlfriend (a beginner fly fisher) where the fish are tiny and numerous but there's some dry fly action before the spring runoff. We did well at Putah this past weekend but we'...

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.

The fish frenzy party is over... Flows on the Lower Stan are up to 1300 cfs. 250 to 1300 in less than a week. The fish are probably now spread out all the way down to Oakdale. It was fun for three months though.

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.

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.

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...

I have hit the Delta a few times and always get skunked. I finally caught a fish. It was slightly bigger than the fly!!! We caught some bigger fish, and had a lot of fun. A big thanks to my guide and striper king GC.

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
