Last night, my brother went to fish his favorite hole at Putah and found 2 good ol' boys bait fishing.? He told them that the creek was to be fished with artificials only at this time of year.?

Been visiting a lot of new waters now that I moved to Chico. Living in Roseville I was attached to the Truckee and Little Truckee to the point it was where I fished regularly. Good times it was. But the Northern part of CA has some truly incredible trout fishing opportunities, namely the SAC. Upper and Lo...

Alright, I'll show you where.....here is the location where the browns I posted a while ago were caught. If you're familiar with the area behind the island at #5, this might look familiar to you.

Back in high school I started to tie flies, mostly dries, and I even caught trout on them, but stopped soon after when life got busy and I just didn't get out fishing much.? Now I can burn through nymphs like beer-nuts on a Super Bowl Sunday so?I'm curious about how many of you tie your own flies, a...
Fished 4 hours midday starting at the usual area. Used my new flies, a copper brassie and then a RS2. At the end of a long drift downstream, the RS2 got slammed and the fish made quite a few knuckle busting runs as I adjusted the drag slightly. The fish was unusually strong but there were no obstacles to bre...
