Howdy all, I am dropping by tomorrow for the day and wanted some good intel on where to fish. Usually in the winter I do not drop much past the bridge, sometimes about a mile past. Anyone have a good thought for fishing in late summer. Deep pools, close to the dam, the bridge? Thanks for the intel, makes the...

I might be up at Mt. Tam this weekend and was wondering if any of you guys have fished Lagunitas or the surrounding lakes recently. I know it's managed by the DFG as a wild trout fishery but reports I've read here and elsewhere seem to indicate that the quality of fishing doesn't really correlate with its...
I went camping this week with my wife.? We started out at Burmey Falls, and headed over to Fowler's Camp on the Upper McCloud River.? Tuesday morning I fished Burney Creek for a?couple of?hours and only managed to land two fish, both rainbows.? That evening I also fished the creek, landing seven, incl...
Made it to the creek by 8:00 and started at #5. Had a nice fish on right off the bat on the second or third cast. It was about 14 inches and a wild fish. Hooked but did not land another from the same run a few casts later, same size possibly a little smaller. Moved up stream a little and caught another smaller pl...
Had a good day yesterday with about 16 on and 9 landed...one 20 incher. Found three nice flies in one of the bushes by the creek...added them to my collection. Flow is getting lower which makes it so much easier for a smaller person like me to wade. Thank you Matt R for the dry fly lesson. I defintely need to...
Fished the high Sierras from Rock Creek to Walker this last week, on my way back to Davis this fall. Best way to go to school in my opinion. Weather was good at Rock Creek Lake until a week ago, then it went south quick, with lots of wind and a dusting of snow. At the lake we managed some browns (biggest was 17,...
Fished the East Walker and Hot Creek with my Mom this weekend for the first time and was totally humbled. The East Walker flows out of the Bridgeport Reservoir. It reminded me a lot of Putah...only a little narrower in spots, shallower (flow was 66), with incredibly slippery rocks and lots of snags. To...

I made it out to the creek at about 6pm after work today.? Did a little streamer fishing around access 5 with no luck, but I was mostly just poking around and exploring.? Around sundown I began to notice some duns on the surface so I broke out my dip net an started taking a closer look.? I was surprised by the...
How do you differentiate?subtle takes?from your weight simply dragging on the bottom?? I fished the Creek yesterday with marginal success; one fish to hand, and several hard hits felt on the rod.??Throughout the day?I watched my indicator bounce and dive quite a bit, but I passed?these movements...
Hi all, I'm thinking about heading up above chico or thereabouts (pretty flexible) for some fishing.? I'll be heading up?with my wife and am looking for a fun place to wade with some beautiful scenery and hopefully a few trout.? Any suggestions? thanks, Vincent
Got to the creek about 3:30 PM in my new favorite spot. No one else was in sight, which was cool by me, though I do look forward to fishing with my fellow posters some day. Tied on a #16 Pheasant tail and a black midge dropper. First cast, first fish, a native, who after 3 jumps (so awesome to see fish like that...

I know it should be in the sale section but it doesn't look like there's much activity there. I have 2 rods for sale $40 each. Both are Cortland CL graphite 8 foot 6 inch rods. One is rated for 5/6 lines and the other is for 6/7 lines. Both are in slightly used but in "brand new" condition. Great be...
Was fishing this Friday afternoon in fast water with a 71/2 4wt at #5.? Caught a little brookie minutes before.? Kept fishing and thought I snagged until the fish jumped up to eye level with the classic markings of a Brook.? It looked like about 9 inches.? Powerful little guy shook out the hook like a tar...
Went to the creek to make sure all the fish were still hungry..First thing I found was a friend in the parking area...headed down to the water and found 14 fish that enjoyed the artificial buffet I prepared for them...Then cruised over to #5 and found a few more hungry takers...I had one more spot I wante...
Anyone with fishing suggestions for Lakes... I am a graduate student and I got to be honest I cannot afford to drive to Putah... I read damn near 1000 pages a week... anyone have a suggestion for a lake I might be able to wet some line in?? I am going crazy
well thought it wasn gonna be to bad, check the weather at 5 am, on tv and on the net, well i guess carson will have to wait until next thursday, so went to nimbus to floss for some salmon, and the rain kept coming, so figured i come home and play some video games, hahahaha
I'm thinking of heading out Sunday morning, I'd be on the creek by 8:00 or so. I'm in a blue dodge quab cab and wear a straw cowboy fishing hat. If you see me come say hello. I'll probably start out at #5

Hi guys, it looks like it might rain on saturday, do you think that will hurt the fishing at all. I never fished a river or stream while it was raining, only a lake, and it usually doesn't hurt the fishing too bad, but I'm talking Amador here...lol. Also, I'm gonna get an early start at Putah on saturday, li...
I have noticed that the flows have been trending downward.? If memory serves me it is still a little early for them to really start cutting the flows for the winter. However my memory does not "serve me" as well as it used to. So my question is this.? Are we at the beginning of the downward trend...

http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USCA0967_f.html it might be a crazy day, but as far as opinions go, would it still be worth it for me to go up there and fish, being that it may be in the mid 50s few showers, and possible snow in the am times, and if it will be any advise as far as fishing, should i go?dee...

So I recently went fishing in Washington state and thought I would share it with you all.? These photo's are from the Rocky Ford, a spring creek on the East side of the state.? I was able to fish for six days and got tons of fish, using big hopper patterns, scuds, and leeches.? If anyone find themselves in e...
