Rts 120, 108, 4 conditions?
(Preview)
It's time for the annual camping & fishing trip with my nephews and once again the rivers are raging. My usual spots are blown out and I'm hoping to find something in the rts 4, 108, or 120 corridors, but will settle for anything under 3 hours drive from the bay area. Any condition reports for areas...

PCT Lower Yuba Fishout May 21st
(Preview)
I guess I'll be the first to post about the Putah Creek Trout fish-out this past Saturday. I've been working way too much so far in 2011. It was only my fourth day of fishing this year, so I was really looking forward to it, regardless of flows. The Lower Yuba was running very high, somewhere around 6...

Chrome and Snow in the Spring
(Preview)
Took a little drive today to see if there are any fish in the area. Found a little chrome steelie before it started "snowing" at sea level. It was worth the drive... My first wild fish on this hatchery water. By the way the fish took Emerger's Cherry Bomb! Once hooked the fish exploded o...

With all of the high water about our rivers, I decided it would be a good time to head into the American River basin, below snow level for some creek fishing. Three of us headed off for El Dorado Creek, a trib to the Middle Fork American. Past fishing here has been outstanding. Lots os fish and decent siz...

Lower Sac report
(Preview)
As I continue to watch stream flows that hover around the Dow Jones index on most rivers, cabin fever has set in. I'm sure the Feather Low Flow is OK, but crowds gotta be big. So, I took my son-in-law up to the Lower Sac with Ryan Johnston a week ago Friday. It was his second time fly fishing and first time...

Hey all, I know this is hardly relevant to the area/region, but I thought I'd post up some fish porn for your viewing pleasure. I caught these in SW Montana (Yellowstone, Gallatin, Madison, and Big Hole rivers) about two weeks ago. Enjoy.

Chrome Fish Porn
(Preview)
As we all know, hunting for chrome or trout right now just isn’t in the lineup for our weekly ritual due to the high blow out flows of every CA River. Well I just couldn’t take the cabin fever anymore. 2 weeks of tying, canceling trips, more trying and playing an occasional video game just wasn’t cutting t...

Berryessa
(Preview)
Anybody on the board fish Lake Berryessa much? I have spring break coming up in a couple weeks and I thought I'd give it a try, but I've never fished it before. I just inherited a canoe and want to try it out as well. Is the flyfishing any good on berryessa or would it be better just to go to lake solano?

Lower Sac

Had a blast with my father fishing the Lower Sac with Ryan Johnston. After teaching the old dog the new trick, we boated 26 nice rainbows which topped out at 19.5". We drifted the middle section. It was cold but dry. Most of the fish were taking orange egg patterns! Weird time of year for that bu...

Nothing. The river had blown out the downstream area where I usually cross. Unable to even attempt a cr...

1/20/11 Yuba Run
(Preview)
I made a Lower Yuba run with Alastair on the 20th. I was amazed how much the river had cleared up in a week. Visibility was around 5 feet. As you can see on the flow reports, it is still running very high. Wade access is very much reduced, but like anywhere, you observe and define the feeding lanes, seam...
