A friend and I went out to the Lower Stan last Thursday. It was after the storm passed on Wed and I wasn't too excited to be fishing in rising air pressure, but any day fishing beats working, right? It was my first time that close to the dam and I have to say I was stymied at times. A lot of the water close to th...

I was fishing a spot in the sierra few weeks ago, Its a place that has always been open year around. I was informed by a game warden that the regs. have changed for 2013 and it is now under the general trout regs. He was cool and said he's not enforcing it until signs are posted, and we were aloud to continue to...

Do any of you have a recollection of there being a winter/spring salmon/steelhead run on WC?? One of my odd interests is "rooting" for the "underdog" individuals (fish) that try to go where nature tells them to even though we (humans) have made that really difficult for them. I...

Anyone see a black C&F streamer box at the Yuba? I lost it yesterday — screwed up an otherwise pretty good fishing and beer drinking day. If found and returned, I'll happily tie the person a dozen flies and buy them a six pack of my favorite beer. V

As someone mentioned, the Yuba River is fishing like Putah Creek - except with less action. It was tough sledding all right. I went up there yesterday with a friend and fished above the bridge. Started with a rubberleg skwala nymph with an S&M dropper. Didn't even get a grab for quite a while. ...

Yes, for the first time in about 3 years, I pulled a skunk, a blank on the Yuba. I worked Saturday, so took the opportunity to avoid the weekend crowd on the Y.

Well I finally went out and picked up a Tenkara rod. I figured it would be fun to go out and fish the way some of my ancestors used to fish... It is pretty fun going backwards!!

Just another reminder to be careful not to leave exposed gear in your car.

Thanks for all of your help. I've been tying leaders using the traditional blood knot. About every third knot has been slipping.
