Another Lower Yuba report 8/8

After last weekend, I had to get back one more time. Hot again, 100 ish degress. Being that I was the only guy on the river, I took a mid-day swim when the fishing turned off. That was refreshing!!! Sadly, no river cooled Budweisers turned up this week and I had to rely purely on my own stash. I left at...

Keith's day on the Boulder River, MT
(Preview)
Today was one of those amazing days where the fish totally cooperated. I floated the Boulder River which is appropriately named. It was a wild ride down the river tossing hoppers and hopper/droppers. There seemed to be a fish every 5th or 6th cast. I caught 30 or 40 nice browns and rainbows from 13"...

Hey all, I'm heading out to the Truckee and the Little Truckee. I still consider myself a rookie and I always get nervous that I'm gonna get skunked on new water. I've looked at a few other posts, but are there any other tips you guys have out there, such as tippet sizes, methods etc.?

My next stop was the Bitterroot River in Missoula, Montana. We got on the river at 8:00 am due to the hot weather and fished until after 7:00 pm. The main river wasn't fishing well at all so we walked up a couple of spring creeks stalking brown trout that were hanging out in the cool clear water. It was real...
