I'm making a 10 day trip to the eastern sierra's in a few weeks and was looking for any help, hints, tips, info, or whatever else anyone may have to offer. I'm looking at camping maybe at convict lake and or near lee vining creek. These spots look pretty good to have a base camp to hit alot of water, I'd like t...
Did a little hiking with the float tube to get to one of my favorite spots.? It was worth the effort.? I even picked up a few fish on a yellow sally dry at the end of the day.? Both fish on the dries slammed the yellow sally even though I haven't seen one for a few weeks. The fish in pic 4 was caught on a S and M nymph...
Has anyone ever fished this along 50 going up to Tahoe?? I'm heading up this weekend to help my parents move and was looking to fish something new.? I have fished the Carson and just about every lake and their tributary streams?in the Tahoe area but I have never given this a try.? If anyone has any helpful...
Spent the day on Putah Creek with the infamous Guide - Greg Bonovich and the fishing was good.? My buddy landed a 22.5 inch beauty and all together we caught 10 (most of them much smaller).? We saw 3 other people on the Creek, and the weather was perfect.? Greg will be putting the pictures?up...? It was ou...

I just got back from four days of fishing the Pit river below lake Britton. My buddy and I were the only ones fishing and we didn't see another soul the whole time we were there.? The fishing was fantastic.? We caught lots of wild rainbows that averaged about 18 inches with some over 20 inches.? I lost a cou...

I headed out to the creek this morning for the first time since February.? I saw a hatchery truck pulling away?from the resort side as I got there.??I was glad I brought my float tube today.? I didn't want to hook into hatchery fish on every cast.? I didn't hook many fish today, but the ones I did hook were g...

Hit the creek a number of time over the last couple of months...Fishing has been great.Plenty of wild fish and the first year fish are starting to show in good numbers.Ive been catching fish in some pretty odd places.I think some of the bigger fish have pushed the smaller guys(12"-14") out...

He has helped me dial in two of my dirtbikes over the past few weeks.? He gave me a great deal, and my 250x works better than new!!? He may even give y...
Hi All, I have been away for a while and was thinking about a trip up this week or next. Any news on the planter front, have they started? I always want to avoid the sections with those hopeless little guys in it if I can. Also any word on bigger browns?
I've been itching to get up to the sierra for some time, and I finally fished the middle fork stan out of sand bar flat this weekend.? The fishing (and the weather) was fantastic. I pulled in 13 fish on Saturday - one big rainbow (18 inches or so), several medium browns (12-14 inch) and a whole bunch of smal...

Thanks,

Hey everyone.? Well, no one posts anything in the local forums, even the ones designed for the entire state of Minnesota, so since this section dosen't state that this other water must be inside California, I figure I'll just post here.? I fished Putah this winter, and was glad to fish without a jacket...
OK - it's offcial. I've caught multiple small natives two trips in a row.? Got one 9 inch feisty little sucker tightlining a deep pool.? He took an orange caddis pupa.? That was the only take I had on a nymph in a few hours of nymphing.? Can't believe how slow the fishing's been on nymphs in traditional spo...
Played in a golf tourney Saturday morning, grabbed some lunch and decided to make a run to the Yuba to get in some dry fly fishing Sat. Night and Sunday. Figured with all the other rivers opening, why the hell would anyone hit the ugly old Yuba.? Well, Saturday afternoon/evening was crowded as all get ou...
I'm envious reading over different reports from Opening Day.? With ALL of my preparations, I didn't make it out!? Freak accident--Split my chin and cheek open early Saturday morning on the kitchen cupboard while making a PB&J sandwich.? Outside of those sandwiches, everything was packed.? N...
So, I got out very late, (around 6:45) and fished till dark. Was a perfect evening, with no wind, 75 degree temps and a pretty good stone fly, baetis and midge hatch.? Not many caddis. Not much surface action from 6:45 until 8:00 or so, but then as soon as it got almost too dark to see a small caddis on the sur...
Fished the middle fork stan. this weekend for a few days. The fishing was a little slower then i would have expected. Caught mostly browns 14 to 16 inchers with one nice one mixed in that was about 18 to 20 inches, All my fish came on dry's, parachute adams, and a fly that basically looks like an all black ad...
I fished for 3 hours this morning and landed 7 fish, 5 of them were planters. The issue that has been bothering me?the past 3 trips to Putah is the large number of people who are clearly violating the fishing regs, even after the Puath Creek Trout organization installed all the new fishing regulations s...
Hi All! Got out today for the first time in MONTHS!? Double the flow I am familiar with. Wading a lot more challenging.? Got in a NASTY car wreck in LA on Tuesday. Still sore. Met a fellow named Jerry. Good talking with you if you read this board Jerry! Said he hit 2 X?12-14" earlier. Only fished 5:15p...
FISHED THIS PAST SATURDAY NEAR OLD STATION WITH MY WIFE. WE JUST BOUGHT A TENT TRAILER AND IT WAS OUR MAIDEN VOYAGE. LANDED A FEW SMALL HARD-FIGHTING 6" BROWNS AND BOWS ON AN ADAMS AND BROWN HACKLE PEA****. MY WIFE ISN'T INTO FLYFISHING SO I PUT AWAY THE ROD AND BUSTED OUT THE OLD ULTRALIGHT SPINNER...
I'll be up by Whiskeytown Dam this weekend and plan on hitting a couple of spots on Clear Creek for the opener.? Last time I was up there I did a fly-by of the section down by the Bridge in Igo (Placer Drive, I think), it looked promising?but didn't have time to wet a line.? Has anyone ever tried that area?? I...
