Gettin' Golden
(Preview)
Gettin' Golden, Summer Sonnet 8-16-2015 Leaves gently quake. Dark sky settles in, like afternoon whisky. Looking up at trees, cathedral of nature. Sounds of distant thunder. Through stunted aspens, twisted and bent from snow, still rising. We traverse, talus ahead, beyond, Lamarck Col....

Lower Yuba

For those of you waiting for spawning season to end at Putah... I went to the Lower Yuba on Sat and caught a few 14 inchers, plus hooked a few other good sized ones. My buddy caught one in the 24 inch range, and hooked another that was probably 18+. The rain and recent high flows added some tint, which I he...

Getting Trashed
(Preview)
I've fished the creek a few times the last month. Surprised at how much trash was around. Found a bunch of large barbed hook rigs on yards of line. I think we all need to make a commitment to take a few handfuls out each visit. Beautiful place that needs a few more stewards.
