I have an old video called "Successful Flyfishing Strategies" that I took out of the closet and re-watched a few days ago. In the video Gary LaFontaine made what I think is a very important observation. While holding a small trout, he said that if you cup your palm so as not to touch the fish’s...
Greetings to all: Summer is winding down and the volunteer opportunities on the Creek will start to pick up. Our first opportunity is Saturday September 20 when we do our annual cleanup of the interdam reach Between Fish Access 5 and the highway 128 bridge. Please mark your calendars and plan to spe...
Did 2 days of surf fishing last weekend. Unfourtenitly I was bait fishing. The surf was pretty intense, Flyrod wasn't going to work. It's pretty cool fishing. I got a few surf perch, and a few little rockfish. Anyone flyfish in the surf ?
Hey, guys and girls. I am a fly fisherman from Arkansas who is visiting Napa Valley the first week of September. We have trout hatcheries here that are very productive (Little Red River and the White/Norfork Rivers) and I've only ever fished those waters. However, I am VERY interested in going out to...
planning a trip to Milton at the end of July and was wondering if anyone has been there lately? any report? any fly suggestions? sizes? I'll probably bring my fly tying box, so just wondering what you guys typically use and what size so I can be prepared?
Just finished 2 weeks of fishing in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, my annual trip. Fished the South Fork of the Snake in Swan Valley Idaho, the Snake River in Jackson Wyoming, the Green River in Pinedale Wyoming, 3 days on the Boulder River east of Bozeman Montana and the Jefferson river near Ennis Montan...
Between the corduroy fur and feathers float. High elevation, head dizzy. Four strips of cane, sudden rise in the bucket, full of authority, him, hooked and run. Me, rock hop, balanced, from the Gap back.http://tonysalpenglow.blogspot.com/2014/08/quadra-ku-8-16-2014.html
My buddy finally retired. We'll be heading up to his Dunsmuir cabin next week to fish the Upper Sacto and other rivers. Any body been up north lately? Any info would be appreciated.
You wouldnt believe me if I didnt have a picture to prove it , This thing was pretty tame it came over to the waters edge and wanted to say hi but when I went to scratch him on the forhead he just bit me . Little fricken bratt
Rmacneil656 I went out again this past weekend. Carp are super active right now. Maybe next time I'll tie up some carp patterns. We did the float again and didn't kill it in the numbers but didnt do too bad. For everyone who wants to fish the spawners for trophies, there's no need if you explore and play ar...
looking for a Sage RPL 4100, but would be tempted by anything 9' or longer. Someone must have one gathering dust, right?? There's no water anyway...you might as well turn it loose. thanks for for any help...Mike
In case anyone wonder after the last time, Floating the creek went well. There were some spots that needed to be walked through, but you can cover a lot of water.
It's been a while since I've logged in here. I hadn't even fished for over a year until this past Saturday. I was able to sneak away for a few hours, and thankfully the creek didn't disappoint. There was a lot more vegetation than I remember (both on the banks and in the creek), but that didn't stop the f...
I made the unfortunate and ignorant decision not to button up the pocket on my cargo pants while fishing below the ladder. Went to change flies and it was gone... Worst part is I know better and thought to myself that I should button it up and didn't. I think it found its way to the bottom but if anyone fi...
I'll be camping at the North Fork Campgrounds on the North Fork of the North Folk American. Anyone have any suggestions for where to fish and what flies to use?
- One of the most common mistakes I see Putah Creek anglers make is fishing water that is moving too fast. Yes, their indicators are moving at the same speed as the current. However, I can see that their indicators are moving downstream too quickly. They might be able to catch some small fish, but the odd...
What are the current regs for "lake" solano? I fished the creek today and ended chucking a sculpin all the way down to the solano bridge where I had a really big fish take my sculpin. After landing the fish I noticed that I had the attention of some of the other (spin and bait) anglers. They came...
I'm looking for a 10' 4wt medium action rod. It seems like manufacturers are making mostly fast action nowadays. Redington used to have the RS4 which fit the bill perfectly but don't make it any longer. Ebay has some but not in 10'. What's out there? Thanks in advance.
I'm hoping to find a good used 16-17 foot canoe appropriate for stillwater fishing and expeditions. I've done the Coleman thing and am ready to graduate. Some "required" features include: Tandem Expedition/touring or "sporting" model, if specified that way (I don't n...
thanks for for any help...Mike
