?Steelhead season in Jeopardy!!!I heard from a contact within the PSMFC (part of NOAA) that due to the low counts of steelhead returning this last fall, the state is looking at pulling the plug on steelhead this year much like they did to salmon. With no trout stocking either, this is going to be rough y...

I was just wondering what you guys thought about rivers that allow bait fishing, but are catch and release only. Why would DFG allow bait fishing if the fisherman can't keep any? The steelhead are gonna swallow the bait and now after having a hook remover down their throat they're gonna be released bac...

The new California Fly Fisher has a great write up and painting from? Yukon Mike.? The painting is of the Silver Fork.? Great job on the painting!!?
