Feather River Steelhead Report Monday 4/26
(Preview)
I fished the Feather River for the first time on Monday 4/26. Floated the river with Ryan Johnson. I was into fish the entire day, I hooked up 21 fish and sadly only landed 9. These steelhead are really aggressive and strong. All of the fish landed were wild fish except for 2 that were Hatchery fish....

(Preview)
So had 2 close friends that wanted me to take them out on a river or two, so to the LT and Big T we went. But ofcourse I couldnt pass up fishing them as well, due to tying up a new streamer that I needed to try out. So Paul aka djwatts, myself and my good friend Chip set out on a mission.

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?

Striper Fishing on the American

Went striper fishing with the former PCT leader. Gary caught this mystery fish! I was just having a hard time casting my 9wt with a sinking tip. Gary says it is easier to catch the shad in a few weeks. I can't wait for the shad.

The flows were over 2300, Deer Creek was at 119 CFS, meaing the Lower Yuba was probably muddy. There was a chance of rain. I decided the hell with it, I had to run up. Worst that could happen w...

Finally, a weekend filled with fishing.
(Preview)
Starting with TODAY. Friday the 19th. A tailwater near the town of clements surprised me with over 30 fish between me and my brother. Most fishes were 6-12 inchers. I had 2 that were 16 inches or so. No measure net. All I gotta say is, that place is burning hot right now. Strike wise, and tempurature wise....

Truckee River this time of year?

If not, then I might hit the Yuba or the American. I know my way around the Truckee during the summer but have never tried winter fly fishing...
