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.

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...

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...
Almost 3000 cfs and it looks it. And the road is closed due to rockslides. the first shot is the near bank at no. 4. the last shot is where the creek turns at no. 5 -- Edited by mudhen on Saturday 18th of February 2017 11:59:15 AM-- Edited by mudhen on Saturday 18th of February 2017 12:01:08 PM
I found these whilst wandering around the creek last Saturday. They are of such high quality and the smaller one is obviously a prized antique so I though that one of you old timers, or maybe a guide lost them. Shoot me a p- mail and I'll get them back to you. -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 10th of February 2...
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has fished, Adobe, Lynch, Lichau or other small creeks in the sonoma or marin area. I am looking for an adventure and to see some fish. Catch and release. anyone know access or rules? Thanks
Does anybody know this guy? I drove up and there he was, sitting on the bank and stressing out some poor TAILHOOKED fish by letting it sit in the current until he could get it in. The kid who wet wades and uses that is old bamboo rod said that he had already talked to him so I didn't see the point in engagement a...
the newly constructed gravel spawning bed that myself and a lot of others created is now completely covered with about 2-3 feet of mud. I took a ride up to the resort yesterday morning just to look at the gravel augmentation site just above the resort and was bummed to see the mud that washed out of the can...
Hi everyone, I just moved to the North Bay for a job and I am desperate to wet my line. I have no idea what the area holds, but I am eager to start exploring. Ideally I like to fish for trout in moving water. Does anyone have any suggestions for trout streams within 100 miles of Novato, CA? I am not asking you to...

I want to cure a batch of shrimp for steelhead. (called coon shrimp) It's difficult to find whole small shrimp in the SF bay area to use. I've been thinking of using grass shrimp. They are easy enough to get with a small gage trap and a little bait. Has anyone tried curing them for steelhead? If so what was t...

I caught over a dozen fish last Thursday. None on my size 16/18 Hare's Ear or PTN, all on my size 20 midges. Of all the fish caught, mostly small to medium size, I was able to bring only two to hand; the rest were "self-release" at some point after the hook-up with the hook still on my line. I don't mind so muc...
I went to take a look today and the water from four on down was as muddy as the Mississipi below Memphis. And the flow was something like 40 CDs. this is fish killing mud if it doesn't clear up soon -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 16th of December 2016 03:36:22 PM-- Edited by mudhen on Friday 16th of December 20...
