Threw caution to the flood water and heading into the canyons and a trib of the North Fork over the weekend. As expected the water level in the North fork was thundereding through the narrow flumes and pinch points making it extremely difficult to employ any particular style of fishing. Swinging str...

Anyone fished the east carson? Flows are around 1500. Should be good with streamers for big fish....

Ran up just for the day last weekend. Normally it is a trickle this time of year, but it was just a little on the low side, but still very fishable. Caught a few planters down at the bottom until that got a bit boring and then started to work my way up. From about a mile up, turned into all wild fish and had a ni...

We made our annual pilgimage to Rock Creek, outside of Missoula this past week. Despite very high water things did not dissapoint. The outfitter we have used for the last 8 years, John Perry Flyfishing, is excellent . . . some great guides. Our crew likes to whoop it up as well as fish, and that we did. ...

Had three very pleasant mornings on Spanish Creek in Quincy over the July 4, weekend. For the past three years I have made the four hour pilgrimage to the High Sierra "Hippy" Music Festival that is held in the fairgrounds but this year I decided to switch it up and bring a fly rod and a few selec...

Took the yearly Mantrip with my brothers , this year was West Virginia, fished the Potomic, Red Creek, Seneca Creek, Smoke Hole and a day trip to the Rapidan in Virginia. It was great to wet wade, do some sight fishing with dries and have easy to manuever flows. Between us we had a grand slam with Rainbows...

Givin the current conditions of most trout rivers and streams I've been able to keep my sanity by playing around with some bluegill. There a great flyrod gamefish, there not always easy they can be finicky as a spring creek trout, they fight hard, are plentifull, And I have a pond full of them practica...

Well, I haven't posted in a while... but I kept looking, and I thought I'd share my new favorite thing. Due to the conditions on our favorite rivers this spring, I too decided to exploit the warm water venues closer to home and started fishing for bass. Lots of new stuff to learn! It's harder and more tec...

Went exploring this weekend to see if I could catch the hex hatch. Got out to the water and saw a youngster hooked up on his first or second cast. He was cheating with a nightcrawler though. I made a few casts with my new camo intermediate line and was hooked up. It felt like a huge trout like maybe a 20&q...

With the big Sierra melt well and truly underway, what should be expected in terms of flow rates and how soon should we see a reduction in flow? Being new to Cali and not having witness a major snow event like this winter, it there any particular time frame when the waters are due to subside and how fast wi...

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...

Check this out. Snake on trail. Gopher snake would not move. All of a sudden it went into a gopher hole. Out pops a field mouse.... Field mouse saved by an Otter... Feather steelies still out there in June Fish are hitting the Cherry Bomb and various caddis patterns.

I went out today with a redfish guide with the plan of just catching some reds on shrimp and spinner baits well I decided to brave the 20mph wind and throw the trusty 8 weight, well I got 2 with the biggest fish of the day that was a little over 6lbs.. redfish are crazy fish with the 6lber taking me into my back...

Has anyone been up there this year yet? Getting a bit of a late start to the season and was planning to head up this weekend. How are the flows?

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...

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...

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.

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...

Anyone ever fished the Henrys Fork this time of yr. Heading to Idaho all next week and will be right next to the Henrys Fork. I am looking to nymph and swing some big streamers.

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?

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...

Met up with Brian on the American this morning to test the spey rod for his up coming Alaska trip. This is a 11 weight, a little heavier than his 5 weight. He tied on a piece of red yarn an cast down and across and said he thought he felt a tug. Next cast he got two tugs , third cast also got a tug. He then tied on an a...

Fished the Yuba for a couple hours down below diguere on Friday, only one fish, but I didn't really fish that hard either (my brother was with me who didn't have waiders so I couldn't really get to fish all my favorite spots).
