i managed to stick a fillet knife into a new set of rather expensive gortex waders this past weekend and was wondering if anyone has any experience repairing them, suggestions on what to use would be greatly appreciated. and what the heck is up with no posts in 11 days? isnt anyone fishing. i'm kinda tir...
I've heard that Haypress Creek in Sierra City (Wild Plum campground), which feeds into North Fork Yuba, is good during July...dries for smallish brookies.
Anyone have experience on Haypress? What about August?

Got out to the lower Yuba for the evening on Sunday and was sorely disappointed. Man, how that river has changed. The floods of this last winter have completely tranformed the layout/flows of the river above the HWY 20 bridge. While the floods of the year previous also transformed the ri...
Hey,
Even with the heat, if you are wading without waders it feels great. Two of the largest arteries
run down through the legs and guess what? The heat is very tolerable. I fished yesterday and
hooked up two which I lost but what the heck. I used a 16 hare's ear on the upper and a 18 micro mayfly on the...
Went on a Jeep run over the weekend and camped alongside the E. Carson Just south of the 89/4 split. Spent less than an hour fishing but hooked a few fish 10-14" range that fought rather well. The bait dunkers in the group did well with worms.
High temps were around 85 degrees with some clouds and thun...
fished all day on the back side of the first island above lake solano, fish caught,8 total ,5wild all around 10 to 14 inches. I really thought i was gonna get my first nice brown trout, i fished a nice looking area and seen a nice brown of at least 25 inches rise three times in the same spot, i tossed everythi...
Does anyone here have any experience fishing in Michigan, or have any information about it? Is there was any good fly-fishing near Ann Arbor? Thank you for your help.
was curious when do the high summer flows normally start to come down to say 400 or less. these flows and this heat is making fishing rather diffucult !
Got onto the creek around 6:00 PM. Decent hatch of small yellow bodied mayflies and some bigger peach colored caddis with green bodies. Took a sample of insects with my kick-net and found mostly small mayfly nymphs, tiny midge larvae, and a few larger green caddis larvae....
Up in Angels camp right now and just finished the middle fork...DYNAMITE!!! I produced a bunch of nice browns(10-14 in.) and a rainbow~7in. in only a couple of hours. fished the North fork last night and caught some nice bows(12in) and a brown(7in). SOur grass CG was the ac...
Another beautiful evening on the creek. My favorite new hole has been producing on the dry/dropper combination. Caught 5 or 6 decent fish - all wild (biggest 14 inches) on the dropper and 2 or 3 more on the dry, including a nice football right at dark.
E/C caddis with a midge pupa d...
Have been fishing the creek lately mostly up near the resort on the resort side of the river and mainly in the evenings,its been fishing decent with periods of real hot action.Yesterday I fished for less than 2 hours and landed 8 fish and lost 3.One fish about yanked the rod out of my hand,and fought like...
I am interested in purchasing a new 15 hp four stroke boat motor for my 13 ft aluminum boat. The motor may also be used as a kicker for a larger Crestliner that I may be purchasing later this year. Does anyone have any advice on which brand motor I should buy?
the 28th i was fishing a spot just before the 30 mile and hour left hand turn before canyon creek. i caught a 22 inch 3.5 lb native rainbow on the 28th on a gold/red kastmaster. on the 29th i caught 3 planter/farm fish a little upstream from the "y" or split. last weekend i was fishing ne...
Got out to the creek around 6:30 PM today.
Had the best day I've had on the creek in some time. Having just come back from a trip up north (Oregon rivers and the Upper Sacramento), I was of a mind to stick with Dry flies as nymphing putah can be such a hassle with all the brush on the banks and al...
Fished the upper sac on the way home from Oregon last night (july 4th).
Got on the river at 5:00 and fished til dark. Killed it on all kinds of dry's and a few takes on various droppers (caddis poopah and micro may).
Golden stones, yellow and oranges stimulators, and may fly variants were good...
had an ok day seven fish landed all about 12 inchers all but one wild, wich is very surprising, i found one back eddy just loaded with wild rainbows, i recently started to really fish back eddys alot and i must say they seem to produce well, but they take pateince, still looking for my first putah brownie,...
There is an excellant dry fly bite on the lower Yuba above Hwy 20 right now. Flows are perfect. Gin clear. Small window of opportunity though. The fish only hit between 6:00 -7:30 PM but they are huge. Most in the 25-28" range. The fish are very poor however. It was a pity to see such huge fish that had no wei...
Fished the Pit near Big Bend Saturday. The stay at the hot springs (clothing not an option) was nice but fishing was so so. Hooked around 30 fish with largerst pushing 17" but most around 8" or so.
Water is getting too warm and wouldn't recommend anybody fishing that area until later in the eyar when...
i have hammered away for endless hours trying to get a brownie out of that creek and im beginning to wonder just how many are in there. can anyone give some advice on spots to try? and the type of spots that they tend to like, i assume they must like a different type of water then im used to catching the rainbo...
Fellow Anglers,
Do any of you fish in Solano for rainbows and browns? If so what are the secerts? Sinking line? Fall River Long drifts with floating line anchored up? Do most go up to the mouth of Putah to start fishing? Never have fished the lake but thought it might be a goo...
fished right side of bridge (dam side) fished both days for about 3 hours..hooked about ten or so..all planters..using wolly buggers....caught most on olive and one on brown....
headed up to the reasort area with my buddy mike at about 10:30 today and ended up doing pretty well. we hooked about 15 and landed 11. when we first arived i hooked probably the biggest and hardest fighting rainbow i've ever hooked in the creek. i had it on for about 10 minutes and it stayed down and pulled...
I broke out my float tube and headed up to Lake Solano yesterday. I landed three rainbows: a 17 incher on a damselfly nymph, and two typical hatchery fish, one on a Griffith's Gnat and the other on a #22 midge pupa. I hooked a couple of others but lost them.
I saw a few otters an...
