In my introductory post, I said that this fall will start my first season?on Putah, but I'm not new to fly fishing.? A fishing buddy?will be introducing me to this body of water.? My wild thought is whether an 11 foot 6 weight?"switch" rod might be overkill for Putah.? For the past two years,...
Just about everyone has spent hard earned money to buy quality fly fishing tackle.? A North Carolina man bought a "toy" setup for his granddaughter.? He caught a record Channel Catfish with it while she was on a potty break.
Does anyone ever fish Putah above berryessa?? Or is there even any public land to access the creek from? I was looking at the stream on google maps (satellite), and it looks pretty cool.? Lots of boulders and nice riffles, and probably has a nice flow when the tailwater is roaring in the summer. http://...
Headed out for a 1hr and 30min drive up the dinkey creek and Wishon Res. First stop was at dinkey creek, it was just crowded but there was about 20 stock bow in one large pool.. the fish show no intres in eating there plus it was crowded.? I figure that wishon would be better, so i went up to wishon.? I spotted...

I went out today with my gf cousins, their third time fishing. I got out to solano park in the mourning. there were fish jumping everywhere and a lot of them looked to be a really good size. unfortunately I didn't have my fly rod cause the youngsters don't fly fish. so I tried everything I had and even bough...
As for me being able to save dough on tying my own trout bugs.
I guess I would have to tie constantly for a couple of decades to make up for my modest tying kit. I tie for fun and variety, and to understand the fish/prey relationship better.
Has anyone ever done a count of the # of flies they actually lose...

I'm heading out to the Paso Robles area this weekend to hang out with some friends.? We will be hanging out around Lake Nasamiento, and I was hoping to get away one morning or evening to do some fishing.? I was looking through google maps and it looks like there is some decent water coming into the lake.??...
As most of ya know caples is pretty much being drained, But did you know rumor has it silver lake is next, probably next year some time. It needs the same repairs done that caples needs. Hell, I say drain more lakes and smash some dams !
so a very close fishing buddy of mine said he wanted to go fly fishing. which he has only done once and that was in the winter time for steelhead. so figured why not hit the yuba. so we did. we walked all the way up to wht weir and fish ladders just to take a look. and what do you know not one single fish. and not ev...
Conefish and I Fished the upper sac and lower mccloud from the 29th-1st and couldnt find the big ones. We each caught around 8 or 9 a day the biggest being only 15 out of the whole trip. It was no problem finding the small ones though.
If you want to have fun on the lower Mccloud though, just throw on a caddi...

Conefish and i along with a few other relatives fish these fisheries regularly for a week while staying in Black Butte Ranch. The metolius is a spring fed, fly fishing only, catch and release river. We fished it right during the golden stone hatch and caught many. Conefish landed a 19 1/2 inch rainbow o...
We are heading up to our place in Truckee the Friday-Sunday following Labor Day to fish the Truckee area.??The place can comfortably fit another person or two.? The second person might have to sleep on an overstuffed couch at worst.? If you're interested in coming, please get back to me ASAP . . . first...
I went out to the E. Carson on Saturday, and probably had the best day of fly fishing I have had so far.? Got to Hangman's around 6:30, tied up a rubber leg copper john and san juan and started off.? My goal was to fish quickly down to the Marklieville hole and start pounding it from there down.? However, fun...
Been fishing putah for the better part of 4 years now. this is the first time I've got poison oak there and i must say i've almost forgotten how much it sucks!!
I slipped down one of the dirt embankments, and I must have slipped on some dead poison oak leaves because they were no where around me when I fell...
Took a little trip this past weekend for a few days and fished the north fork stanislaus at the sourgrass recreation area, And I must say I'm dissapointed I hadn't fished this area before. Its a great stretch of river with just endless pockets and great pools, the kinda river were you don't cover more th...
Just got back from Oregon this morning.? Had a wedding in Portland saturday, and fished the Upper Nestucca, near the oregon coast, on friday and sunday.? Definitely the best days of fishing I've ever had. I caught about 100 fish on friday, and 40 fish in 2 hours on Sunday (then proceeded to lock the keys...
Here we go!!? The first?group fly fishing float tubing trip down Lake Solano.? I have no idea if this will work, but I think we should get together and have some fun.? Campout at the lake solano campground.? August 22-24 weekend or Sept 5-7 Weekend.? Send pms with email addresses and maybe I will be able...
fished the middle stan. from wendsday till sunday morning, fished with Brian for the first day and a half and overall the fishing was slow. Sorry Brian to drag ya all the way down that road for what turned out to be overall poor fishing. I think I landed maybe 5 that first day but it was really working it har...
The creek is still fishing pretty well. The flows are high, but the fish are willing. I fished all of my go-to spots and found that I had the most action in shallow pockets and runs. Sometimes I do very well in the deep pools and slack water, but nothing today, although I did hook the best fish right off the e...
I'm fairly new to fly fishing.? Took my wife fishing and she too was infatuated with fly fishing.? Looking into getting her a rod.? My question is do you match the rod to the fish you are targeting or the rod to the person who is fishing it?? My wife was using my 9ft 5wt rod and said that it felt slightly too bi...
