Anyone fished it recently? I'm thinking of trying my luck there soon, for the first time. I only have a vague idea of?acess points (below Tullock reservoir), and it's my understanding that I need a steelhead card and a bay stamp, and that it's C&R/barbless only right now.?Any advice/info on the r...
Hello board...
Well, I got an unexpected day off from work, so I hit up the creek. This was only my second time there, and I've been reading a lot about tactics and reading water, so i put my newly-found knowledge to work. I returned t the same spot i fished on my first visit, and on about my 10th cast, my in...
Today was a awesome day for me. Started at around 8 in the morning and caught a nice 20 inch or bigger native rainbow. Super cool for first trout fly fishing. Had a bunch of followers, but no more takers. I was really pumped though. I was using a olive woolybugger. But now I know what I need to get: new waders...

I want to start tying my own flies now that I am into fly fishing for real. I know it would be better to invest in buying a nice vice, but right now I can't see myself paying 100 dollars on a vice. At least not until I see that I enjoy tying my own. But anyways, what is a good priced vice to get? I know that I will als...

I am looking to fish the American this week by myself.? Have never been there and was just looking for some suggestions for places along the river to fish that aren't too remote since I will be alone.? I have a map.
I caught my 3rd and 4th trout ever. Both big ones, I'd say about 20-24". Longer than my computer keyboard which is about 18" (thinking like the striper fisherman that I am). I actually hooked two more - the first one pulled and was immediately gone. The second hydroplaned and was gone in 2 sec...

Get yourself a good stream map and look around, you live next to a gold mine of fishing. Lower Yuba, Feather, America, Middle Fork of the A...
Some of you use a 3 weight when weather and flows allow.I'm asking for any suggestions/warnings concerning possible reel combinations for my new Echo 7'6" 3 weight.The set-up with an older reel is not working out.? So, naturally, a new reel is on the way.? I have not decided what to purchase.I wa...
