thats why they call it catching and not fishing
(Preview)
I just got back from a pretty weird few days fishing around Markleeville on the East Carson. I drove up late Thursday and set up the backpacking tent in the dark which was an adventure in itself, built a fire and cracked a cold beer. I was sawing logs by 10pm and up again at 5:00 to hit the wild trout sectio...

Odd day on the East Carson River
(Preview)
Went to the East Carson on Friday with a friend. We briefly debated fishing below Hangman's, but although he has been fly fishing for years, he is just now trying to develop deeper skills and felt uncomfortable with the sparse wild trout population down there. I had never fished there before. On the...

Missing etiquette at the Yuba?

So this made me pretty angry... I go to a favorite Yuba flat above the bridge (I'm sure you all know it) and start swinging wets with my spey rod. I usually fish from 5:30-10pm on weekdays and bump into a few anglers and miners, and swing and step down runs, swing, and step, repeat. Good spey casting pract...

Yuba river history?
(Preview)
Hi All, What's the history behind the giant concrete structures at the lower Yuba? And the submerged dam downstream? Are these remnants of stuff damaged by the 1996 flood? Not really fly fishing related but I've been going there a lot and started wondering about it.

Just got back from a great morning on the Pit at Rock Creek. Had 6 fish in the net with a 17 incher the best of the bunch. Took a couple of swims and filled my waders which felt pretty good in the heat.
Tough river to fish. I think I lost about 20 flies and I never had so many fish break me off. The big ones run str...

I'm looking for a place to bring my girlfriend (a beginner fly fisher) where the fish are tiny and numerous but there's some dry fly action before the spring runoff. We did well at Putah this past weekend but we'...

Natives
(Preview)
So I was just reading the new edition of TU mag and there is a great article on golden trout in there. It got me wondering about true natives versus wild fish that are born into a river like Putah. How many species are from California? Curious to see some of your answers.

The fish frenzy party is over... Flows on the Lower Stan are up to 1300 cfs. 250 to 1300 in less than a week. The fish are probably now spread out all the way down to Oakdale. It was fun for three months though.
