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...

"being in sac not to many great fishing spots around in this area. i wish i lived closer to nicer fisheries"
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...

I have been an avid f...

I have seen otters in the river before but only one maybe two at a time.? They hung around for quite a while in t...
