It been pretty quiet out there, heres a little spice. Some of the local Valley Rivers are having a good run of Spring half pounders. Lots of fun with a small switch rod or even a single hander. Top flies have been green soft hackles in sizes 12-14. Green Hares ear or Ice dub if it there is some color to th...

Drove up to the north end of the lake and fished for just about 2 hours. i had a job to do at my parents so it was a rather late start with the float tube getting in the lake just after 12 noon. If the number of bass boats on the lake are any indication, the bite must be on fire, however, the few people i talked wi...
If you have plans to fish Putah this weekend I suggest you make other plans. I was out there today and watched the first mile turn to mud. The whole creek should be blown out by the morning.
Ive heard of theft at the creek in the past but never thought it would happen to me. I drove my wife's car out yesterday with the plan to fish for a couple of hours before my class. I parked at the redd bed to put on my gear and noticed a WHITE TOYOTA TACOMA STANDARD CAB, looked fairly new. A white heavy set brow...
It has been an extremely dry winter so far. If we go into drought conditions how will this affect the creek flows for the rest of the year? I don't think this dry season will be comparable to the drought in the 70s but.. It's coming close. How did the creek hold up back then? Nic -- Edited by Xnjb707X on W...

I gave Putah a try on Thurs. I haven't fly fished in a lot of years so I pick the one place in the world with the most trees and bushes to rekindle my passion for fly fishing (I did not lose anything to the abundant forest but I did have to learn how to roll cast). I did avoid the beds and hiked about half of the a...
I had planned on making this trip last Summer but a work promotion kinda nixed it. On to 2014 The wife, kids and I are planning a family backpacking trip on the PCT this summer.

Hi folks, I went by the Sports Authority in San Francisco (1690 Folsom St.) to find that they are eliminating the fishing department. Everything is 50% off! Allot of the salt-water gear is decimated, but the fly gear is still holding strong. A bunch of combo set-ups, reels, fly boxes, vests, waders, w...

Stumbled on fresh mountain lion deer kill at access five today. I know these warnings pop up on this forum periodically, so here's this season's: be careful. They are out there. Scared the absolute crap out of me to see fresh deer head just sitting in brush. That's two big cats in one month — had a bobcat j...
