Does anyone have a guess as to when the NF of the Yuba will be fishable again? Or the Truckee? What a bizarre year, hunh? Hope you're all doing well. Best, Pete

Fished on Sunday - find the side channels that have short deep runs and back eddys

- hooked 9, landed 8, nothing over 16 inches, 3 natural, 5 planters. Used #10 weighted prince nymph, #16 cream bead headed emerger, #16 tan fox's poopah, caught fish on all 3 with the prince nymph per...

It's nice to see that putah's water levels are declining (slowly), but i'm hoping that since we recieved so much rain this winter/spring, they won't release as much water this summer for farming; maybe summer levels will be more like fall levels this year! Does anyone think this is possible?&...

I go to UC Davis and I was just wondering if anyone knows of any other places to fish while the creek is flooded. I'll fish for anything. Bass, trout, panfish, you name it. Thanks for the help.

You remember this? EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum discharge, 81,000 ft3/s, Feb. 27, 1940, gage height, 30.5 ft, present datum, from rating curve extended above 30,000 ft3/s; no flow Sept. 6-15, 1950, July 26 to Sept. 1, Sept. 6-9, 1955. Since completion of Monti...

I've read the posts about opening weekend. I've got to be the biggest idiot in the Bay area, I thought NEXT weekend was the opener.

Will the creek be fishable this weekend??????? I see the flows are 1800 and dropping fast????

I spent the weekend up at the cabin and fished the Yuba Friday and Saturday (@ HWY 20). Friday, when the sun broke through late PM, there was a decent hatch of really small creme and black midge/ gnat looking things. I had no luck on the small stuff but did find a few fresh stone fly husks. I switched over to a...

I headed up to creek to check out the flows yesterday between classes. At 7140 cfs, they were incredible! The creek has since receeded to 6500 cfs. We saw some changes in the areas around the creek with the last high water and I'm sure we'll see many more changes when the flows...

Is there any fishing areas near Redding, I'm looking for somthing next week?

Since Putah Creek is still unfishable, I did some lake fishing yesterday and today. I caught about 100 fish between the 2 days. Most of the fish were bluegill and redear sunfish. But having an extra rod rigged with a streamer I managed to catch a few carp, crappie, and bass.&...

This pretty much sucks

I'm headed up to Oregon to fish the Umpqua and a couple other spots in the Elkton area. Does anyone have any suggestions for that area ? I've been checking the flows up there and they don't seem to have all of this rain we are getting down here. I've read that there have been alot of steelhead and spring Chin...

And I wonder? Still I wonder?

I hope I am not borrowing trouble by posting this, but figured I might as well "test" the waters now. I may have actually run into a few of you on the creek. I am that crazy kayaker you saw go floating by this summer. As I live close to Putah, I have started to become quite fond of Pu...

Any one fish here recently? I am thinking about going on Thursday or Friday. Maybe take a sink tip line and clousers or fish on top? Paul

I'm thinking about heading up to Lewiston this Saturday and would like to know if anyone wanted to come along. I live in the Fairfield area. I've been up there a few times already this year and have had good success. I've heard they released the smolts last week and there are a lot of little fish in t...

checked out the creek today and it is crazy. the flows are still way up and the water from berryessa is still dumping threw the glory hole.

Hi. I am the new guy on the board. I have been looking at it for a while and thought I should join. I am dying to hook some trout and get away for a while. Would any one be interested in fishing cache creek on friday and saturday? I live in Santa Cruz so car pool could be an option if you live on the way. Rob &nb...

I can't take it anymore, is this rain ever going to stop! ? Everywhere is either blown out, or requires a driftboat. I guess now is a good time for learning to tie flies. Good luck everyone, theres always davis, or even lafayette reservoir.

Anyone have any advice what flies to use and size.

I had a very disturbing incident at access 5 this morning. I arrived at about 8:30 and fished for two hours on the way to work. When I returned to my van, I found someond had smashed a side window and stolen several items, including my laptop. They even stole my cheap shoes while leavi...

Finally made it out to Putah last friday. The fishing was slow from 11-12 at access 2. Met another fly fisherman who said his friends call him EZ. He said he hooked a few fish in the morning, but nothing landed. I was talking to him about building bamboo rods as I switched from n...

I fished the creek today. The rain must have scared everybody but the fish away today. I strated fishing aroud the bidge area with size 16-18 zebra midges,phesant tails, and serendipitys with no luck down to the hole across from the trailer park. After yet another snag I put an egg...

Managed to get out for a couple of hours on Saturday, and despite an ugly encounter with a couple of baitcasting poachers (more on that later), had a great day. I fished under the highway 128 bridge starting at about 10:30.... For the first hour or so I threw every midge pattern I had out there, but th...

I am just one of the newbie's and am heading to the creek to do some fishing in the rain before the creek jumps again. If any body wants to join me (maybe show me a thing or two about the creek) I am in a silver Subaru with Oregon plates. I am hoping to get there by 10:00 or so.

I was thinking of heading out saterday afternoon and giving it my first try in a few weeks. Anyone been out recently? What is the fishing like? If anyone is up for it, ill be around the Island, up to around access 5.

I was thinking about a Sunday run up to the North Fork of Cache Creek anyone interested?

Anybody have anything to say about that piece of water??? Flows look lower coming out of Clear Lake...Any trout to be had????? Just cabin fever starting to make me think of other places.

I made it out to the creek Friday. It rained most of the day, and I only saw two other fishermen. I started out by the bridge and landed two fish, both about 12 inches. Later, I moved down to #5 and fished the other side of the island. I hooked a nice-sized fish in the fast water.&n...
