Like everyone else who's been putting up with the weather, I've been itching to get out.? After pouring over the weather reports, it looked like the snow level was going to be about 3500' for Thursday nights' storm.? I though "what the hell", the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the American...
Fished the AR yesterday afternoon and this morning. Ended up going 2 for 5 combined for days. Yesterday I only hooked two and today I hooked three. Didn't arrive at the river till 3 in the afternoon on Wednesday and didn't start fishing till about 330 because I was talking to a guy using a float rod and I wa...
Me and my pop are gonna head up to the river this weekend. We've never fished it so we were woundering what kinds of flies to use and if there are any good spots, or if it is even fishable now?
thanks.

Well no chrome today for me. Hit the american with a few grabs but that was it. Saw a lot of fish I was fishing a spot at dusk and this guy walks down about 20 feet from me makes one cast and bingo fish on. It was?probably a 10 pound fish. Go figure ?He was using roe. Just to let you know the wardens are out When I le...

Well, had another fun day on the American.? This time I had the pleasure of fishing with two good guys Brian and Eric (Lilwhippersnapper).? We hit the river before dawn only to find that the spot we were supposedly going to "hog all day" already had some hardcore steelie hunters fishing it....

Well, I was hoping to fish the San Lorenzo for some steelies, but the local shop said it's raging and muddy. He did tell me that Scotts Creek clears up really fast and is probably fishable. So that's where I'm going tomorrow. Anyone ever fish that creek?
Is the Yuba, American, Russian or Putah worth fishing this weekend?? My guess is that they are all blown out but I am hoping to get a full day in somewhere on Saturday. TK

Between the dam and where the dry Creek on the Canyon Resort property dumps in, the w...

A buddy of mine has some property in Healdsburg that has a small trib to the Russian running through it. He was up there last weekend and took these pics. These are adult WILD fish!
