Get to the creek at 5: 30, suit up and head on down. By 7;30 , the 1'st person showed up. By 9:00, there were two guys fishing across from me. By 10:00 there were the two guys across from me, one directly above me, three down about a hundred yards and three up in the first pool with more headed down from the park...

Looking for anyone that wants to rideshare, split gas & maybe hotel for swinging flies for steelhead. Looking at making trips to the Trinity (or other rivers) starting the weekend of the 27th. Flows are being pumped up on the trinity to flush the system with cold water. This should start pulling m...
My last 2 trips have come up short, and I need some help/tips. I fished a 9ft 4x tapered leader and put on my first fly(wolly bugger or large nymph for weight). I put 2-3 small split shots above the first fly. I tied 12 inches of 5x to the bend of the hook and tied on a 2nd very small fly (wd 40, PT, etc). I used a wh...

Hey folks, im looking to do a day trip down to the eastern sierras on Tuesday 6/26. I would probably would want to leave early since it will take a few hours to get down there (3-4am). I am still new to fly fishing so you wouldn’t have to worry about me outfishing you. I’ve never fished this area or navigate...

Hi all, Been awhile since I've posted on this forum but I wanted to share an experience. When we go fishing we think of things that can cause harm to us. Rattlesnakes, Bears, Falling, Mountin lions, Other people etc. I never really thought about being hit by a landslide. Last saturday I was fishing in t...
I was fishing this weekend on one of my favorite tailwater sections and hooked a stud of a rainbow on a size 20 zebra midge. Mid fight, the line went slack. When I got my flies in, the hook had straightened out. I’ve fished a ton of these midges this winter and I’ve landed several nice trout, but this was a fi...
Parked under the bridge on the near side. I wondered that I didn't see any cars, but I soon learned why. The trail down to the water disappeared after a 100 yards or so. The vegetation was really thick so the trail down went right to the water's edge, and soon enough, right into the water. Real pain in the as...

There's a lot more water! Fished pretty hard today - landed one decent fish, one baby par, and lost 1 small guy - so generally unsuccessful. But, it was awesome to be back on the water! I've been too busy to fish lately and it sure is nice to get back out. Hope some of you had more success than me today!

I have been a flyfisher for over 40 years. When I got my first VCR, I started recording every trout-related flyfishing show that I could. Consequently, I have a collection of easily more than 500 shows. However, in the last year and a half, I have probably recorded less than a half dozen shows, not becau...
Have a Sage SFL 580 and the cork health is dwindling. Could anyone point in the right direction for replacing cork on this old rod or whether its probable? Thanks
Lost it this morning at the head of the island at access 5. Had it strapped to my pack and when I got to the water, after wading across, I no longer had it. Searched the trail but didn't see it. It must have fallen into the water when I was wading. It's still wrapped in its cloth. If anybody finds it please repl...
He's gutting the clean water act. He's gutting the clean air act. He's not opposed to re-introducing dredger mining in rivers. He's gutting the endangered species act (rare species of Cutthroats anybody?). The rules regarding what mine operators can dump are being reviewed. SO...MUCH....WINNI...
got there at 6, gate was locked. wasn't opened untill after 7:30. Went fishing and quickly caught my first fish. It was exactly 3 inches long. Then the wind came up from the west and rendered my new two weight useless for casting dries. Reverted back to nymphs and caught five more, the largest of which...
I know, I know it's not a rod / reel/ boat/ waders ...etc. but it's my website so what the hell😬. I have two Honda ct90s for sale, 1970 and a 1972. They look and run great, they will start on first or second kick. Great bikes for hunting or searching for your favorite hard to reach fishing spots.they both hav...
Hey Forum Folks! I am a newcomer to this discussion, as I have finally begun making visits to Putah with some measured success. I'm just curious... what's the CFS zone for "ideal fishing" on the creek, and when does it reach "utterly un-fishable?" I see that the current flow is pushing 680, but I don't k...
