Hello, I am new to fly fishing. I live 2 miles to San Pablo bay. Is there anyone doing striper fishing on a fly rod off Pinole bayfront park? or where is a good place to catch a striper on a fly rod from shore? thanks -- Edited by DrewC on Wednesday 19th of April 2017 08:43:12 AM
Went this morning for about three hours after being off the water for over 4 months. Fished the stretch of water from access 4 along the foot path down to the island, and the first three or four hundred yards of the island. It is possible to still cross the river to the island even at 800 cfs. Only very sh...
I saw somebody spey casting yesterday right above the fork at #5... Is that ever a good method for PC?? I wonder if that person had success. On another note, a man I was fishing with caught this young fish (still had parr marks) even with the high flow. Get out there! I was surprised by how chunky the fish wa...
Did anyone find a fly rod let on the creek . The only thing I can say to describe it is I remember rigging up one of my Rods for high sticking with red abnisia , not sure which one but I defiantly had one rigged, And now no rod rigged up for high sticking and I dont remember removing the Abnisia so I can only assum...
I was fishing out in bolinas this morning in the lagoon and caught three lincod on streamers. I had a blast feeling the fish attack the big flies. Has anyone ever fished Putah with streamers or tube flies? I feel it could be an effective technique at the large pool below monticello. I have personally nev...
I fished Putah Creek Wed. 4/5)2017. Caught two beauties (20 and 22 in.) in a hole on the private waters ( I am a member). The key was a long, 12 foot, leader, light 6x tippet, no indicator, and #5 splitshot 18 in up from fly (a #12 beaded birds nest). Only leader in the water, high stick or Czech techniques....
Looking at the annual flow chart, mid-April is when summer high flows start. It appears that we will be transitioning from this winter's high flow right into summer high flow. I will miss the easy 100-200 cfs waters.
Look at the size of the bass on Berryessa. 13.89 pounds! probably hard to get on a fly rod, but I have heard dragging a worm on the bottom is very effective. http://lakeberryessanews.com Also Pyramid is firing up if you want to catch a giant trout...
Anyone had eyes on Stony Creek recently? Havent been up there is a few years and wondering how it's flowing. The gauges are all lower down the river, below the reservoirs.
What goes up eventually goes down... potentially leaving future trophy fish at risk. Dropping flows may soon leave fish trapped in temporary pools. Help PCT identify opportunities to rescue fish. Glory Hole dumping may stop by some time this week and the creek may abruptly return to winter flows 5...
Gett'n itchy to go. just feel'n like day trip'n, until the main event. California dreaming. Along the river trail, the secret spot we all know well. fern and moss, encourage hopes. A perry poke and swing. Around rivers bend. Todays perfect tail out found. Black and blue, swung into shade 3 on 3 off...
I have a Brand new Hardy Featherweight fly fishing reel purchased last year for $400. Its sharp classic Hardy design is a great throwback to the English manufacture's glory days. It pairs well with bamboo, glass or even modern graphite rods. I went another way for my 4wt and would like to make $200 back...
When will the creek be fishable once more? I looked at the USGS graph and estimated by the end of the month the flows should be below 1000 cfs. I was looking to fish below monticello on Monday, however.
Hey everyone just letting everyone know about this rattle snake lurking around access 5 at the trail head just befor you head down the trail , Please don't kill it , they are protected and part of the Eco system Just keep your eyes open and be warned a snake bite can cause a lot of tissue damage if bitten ...
Put on my wading boots and went down to the water to have a look. Water was at about 2500cfs but the trails were passable. Where the creek turns towards the back of the island at .5 there is a large deposit of debris and the ground at the turn has a lot of debris abd has pretty much been denuded of the blackberr...
I went to the creek today and found parts of a small car dumped off the roadside between 2 and 3 I got most of it but need some help draging the body up to the road and in the back of my wagon if it will fit ? . Wil yolo county remove it from the parking lot if i drop it there // Any one available to help me drag it up to t...
Hey Everyone! Richard and I are now part of the Redwood Empire Chapter of Trout Unlimited! We are putting on a Fly-Fishing Film Festival--Trout Unlimited's annual fundraiser-- on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at the Rialto Cinema in Sebastopol. Come on out- it'll be a blast!! https://www.rialtocinem...
Well, it's down to about 3500cfs, but is still a torrent. Deer sign is off the hook and the beaver dam down from from access 5, she is gone. As well , the small side stream that went behind the dammed area and spilled back into the front channel is GONE. Bare a trickle. And perhaps most importantly, there i...
Hey guys Just relocated the family to Sacramento and am dying to wet a line this week. Obviously with the heavy amounts of rainfall I'd assume the options are limited. I have been working in the area for the past few years in which I've been able to fish a few of the local waterways: Yuba, Putah, and Amer...
