I am planning a upcoming weekend trip to the upper Rouge and was wondering if anyone would like to come along. There is a place to camp right on the river a few miles downstream of the dam. I've talked to guys who have been up there and they report fishing is excellent right now with multiple hook-up...

Just got back from Idaho, fishing the north fork of the clear water river. My buddie and I go up there a couple of times a year. It's strictly west slope cutthroat and bull trout. Lots of them. In the summer, its 100 % dry fly and in the late summer through fall its 50/50 drys and nymphs. There are a number of n...

Made another day trip (wake up at 4:30, on the river by 8, back in the car by 5) up to the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus. Last time I fished the North Fork. I particularly like the Middle Fork because it is such as classic small stream with really defined characteristics (textbook drop dow...

Has anyone heard any reports about the half-pounders on the American? A little over a month ago I heard they were in the river, but I haven't heard anything since then.

Myself and a couple of buddies fished the Upper Sac river and Pitt River a few days ago,with mixed results.The Upper Sac fished decent in the lower stretches especially for larger fish 16" to 18" and the upper area (cantera loop) was not that good mostly 8 to 12" fish.On the other hand the Pitt river was o...

Anyone have recommendations for salmon this time of year ? Both location and patterns would be nice. Most of the upper reaches of the big rivers are going to be closing soon and I wanted to try to catch one or two before the closings while the fish are still "bright".

Rainbows in Truckee off Glenshire were feeding well Friday and Saturday night. Some good hatches happened; fish were taking #18 Yellow Humpys. Peace.

I've heard that Haypress Creek in Sierra City (Wild Plum campground), which feeds into North Fork Yuba, is good during July...dries for smallish brookies. Anyone have experience on Haypress? What about August? -Reg

Can someone explain how to read flows, including what the numbers mean, and do flows affect the fish themselves? Thanks, ~ Ras

Got out to the lower Yuba for the evening on Sunday and was sorely disappointed. Man, how that river has changed. The floods of this last winter have completely tranformed the layout/flows of the river above the HWY 20 bridge. While the floods of the year previous also transformed the ri...

I'm heading up to the American river to try for salmon. I've seen quite a few fish there already. Can anyone suggest a good pattern to try ?

Went on a Jeep run over the weekend and camped alongside the E. Carson Just south of the 89/4 split. Spent less than an hour fishing but hooked a few fish 10-14" range that fought rather well. The bait dunkers in the group did well with worms. High temps were around 85 degrees with some clouds and thun...

Fished the upper sac on the way home from Oregon last night (july 4th). Got on the river at 5:00 and fished til dark. Killed it on all kinds of dry's and a few takes on various droppers (caddis poopah and micro may). Golden stones, yellow and oranges stimulators, and may fly variants were good...

There is an excellant dry fly bite on the lower Yuba above Hwy 20 right now. Flows are perfect. Gin clear. Small window of opportunity though. The fish only hit between 6:00 -7:30 PM but they are huge. Most in the 25-28" range. The fish are very poor however. It was a pity to see such huge fish that had no wei...

Fished the Pit near Big Bend Saturday. The stay at the hot springs (clothing not an option) was nice but fishing was so so. Hooked around 30 fish with largerst pushing 17" but most around 8" or so.

I walked this stream about a month ago and watched a kid catch a salmon 20 to 25 lbs. Its to bad the stream looked like abolsute sh*t. He released it immediately upon landing it. Its unfortunate that young anglers only have poorly keeped creeks like this to fish in . Maybe one day the State wi...

I spent the weekend up at the cabin and fished the Yuba Friday and Saturday (@ HWY 20). Friday, when the sun broke through late PM, there was a decent hatch of really small creme and black midge/ gnat looking things. I had no luck on the small stuff but did find a few fresh stone fly husks. I switched over to a...

Since Putah Creek is still unfishable, I did some lake fishing yesterday and today. I caught about 100 fish between the 2 days. Most of the fish were bluegill and redear sunfish. But having an extra rod rigged with a streamer I managed to catch a few carp, crappie, and bass.&...
