Upcoming Northern CA Trip
(Preview)
Just a couple more weeks and me and a buddy are heading North to fish the McCloud and Upper Sac for 4 days. I also want to try some of the smaller creeks around Mt Shasta for some fun small fish action, think McCloud Red bands. Conditions should be prime by then.

Little Truckee 6/19
(Preview)
Arrived at the river around 10 am. Super low flow, but good clarity. Saw a bunch of fish working one seam and fished it most of the day. No takes on any nymphs. Threw just about the whole box at 'em, mainly size 18-20 midges etc. Finally around 2 pm, a good PMD hatch came off and fish were rising all over. Thre...

Next week is my annual camping trip with my brother and his kids, we usually head to Sourgrass on the NF or Sand Bar Flat on the Middlefork Stan. Any one been up there recently, like in the last week or so? I'm trying to determine if flows will be OK or if we should consider a backup location.

Lower Yuba 5/30
(Preview)
I hadn't seen too many reports lately, so I thought I'd warm up the info hotline with a report on the Yuba. After 5 weeks of no fishing, Alastair and I headed up to the Lower Yuba on Sunday to remember how to do it. We made up for lost time and put in a solid 12 hours of fishing during the day. It's been a long...

Tuolumne river
(Preview)
Looks like I'll be spending much more time up in Groveland in the future, I've never fished any forks of the Tuolumne, has anyone spent any time up that way? How are the areas around Lumsden Bridge or Wards Ferry, meaning the usual routine of parking and hiking away from the heavily accessed areas?
