Here are some flies I've been working on for the AR.? The first is actually Brian's first poopah and the same one that won him his new year's resolution to catch a fish on a fly he tied, congrats bro!? We used some EP fiber to create a shimmering veil around the body and some olive krystal flash for the anten...

I floated it last weekend, it was not as bad as the reports have indicated. The signs are big, the flow looks like it wants to take you to the right but don't over row like I did or the pulled-in oar will still catch on the back pier and make you knuckleslap the front person in the back of the head. Good thing he...
I was fishing the creek a few weeks ago and I think I saw a large cat between the road and the creek around mile marker 1.8.? Has anyone ever seen a mountain lion in the area?? I attempted to scoot after it but then my senses took hold and I made a beeline to another area.? Granted my view was obscured by brush b...

I went out yesterday with two buddies. We fished from 9 am to dark. Between the 3 of us there were 5 hook ups and only 1 to hand. We didn't get any action at all until 5 pm. We parked at the hatchery and walked down to the island. There were already 7 guys at the top of the chute next to the island so we went back ups...
Well....?? I took a lot of pictures...?? ate my roastbeef sandwich...? and thats just about it!!! Water still looked like yoohoo at the island.? Didnt wanna move upstream, but just sitting and listening to the creek relaxed me a bit.

The word for the weekend on the AR was COLD!!!? Both the weather and the fishing!? I made it out saturday with a friend from back home hoping to get him on a steelhead.? We didn't get out till noon because he had to drive up from Palo Alto but I figured it wouldn't matter because the bite has been better durin...

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.

Just to let you know the wardens are out When I le...
