Yet another fire next to the creek. This marks 4 summers in a row. It went from 80 acres this afternoon to 1000 this evening. At this point it is 15% contained with a DC-10 ordered. Hopefully it is undercontrol by tomorrow.
I was driving home from Deer Creek when I saw a big plume of smoke over Winters. And now I hear that yet again, there's another grass fire. I wish that God would cut that place some slack.
...but not many fish. I only caught 1 fish. Wet waded because of the heat. The good thing is that there were tons of flies coming off. BWO's and some other tan and olive mayflies. And they were coming off consistently from 3-8 PM. I'm not sure why I couldn't find the fish, though, because there were...
Hey Guys, caught a guy using power bait at section 1 on Friday. I informed him of the regulations and he apologized and left. He said he had no clue it wasn't allowed. Right after that I found four containers of worms and other trash left on the bank (I filled my net up with all the litter). Can we get more sig...
Hey everybody, Ted here visiting from Houston, TX. My sister is getting married on Saturday so we decided to make a week of it and got a house in Sonoma. It a beautiful place but it's wine country and I don't drink... I was hoping to get into some fish while I was here and brought my gear. I went to Lelands but...
Decided to escape the heat of Sacramento for the next few days and headed out to Half Moon. Anyone know if there are still any resident fish in the creeks just south Half Moon Bay? San Gregorio, Butano, Pescadero Etc.
Finally found some fish! I caught 4 out of a little riffle with a nice little ledge/chute in it. Then I went cold for a few hours and then it turned on! I caught 4-5 fish on the next 10-12 casts. It was super fun! Most in the 12" range.
Where are they hiding?!?! Fished brown, green, red, black in multiple patterns. Nothing. I think there were some BWO's coming off. Some other tiny mays, too.
Anyone fish near big tree state park near Arnold, CA? I fished it for about 30 min last year and caught a small Brookie. It looked like hard wading access.
...at my feet and actually in my net...partially. Long stupid story about why I was hand lining him in the last few feet to get into my tiny net...but, bottom line, he broke my line off while actually in my net and flopped out. At that point, I trapped him under my net and tried to scoop him up, but came up w...
I've been saving money a couple of years to buy an old flat fender jeep but finally talked myself out of it, went a different route and decided to get more flyfishing time in. I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of G3 waders today but didn't feel like throwing money at boots yet. I've got an old pair of Wein...
The Online Angler Survey is working again. Please fill out a survey either on the creek or online each and every time you go fishing, whether or not you catch fish. These reports are forwarded to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for their use to help improve the creek. There is a link on the...
I caught my first catfish on a fly rod. Little sucker tried to clamp down on my thumb. With all the water this year the bass were biting as well! Pound for pound smallmouth fight better than trout!
I have seen 5 people over the past three days wading with no wading belt on . In each instance I have warned the person that in water like this if you fall in you will DIE. While I fully understand that we are free to do as we wish regarding personal safety, the dad in me insists that I at least say something. I r...
A chilly and windy day at access #5. Wind blew relentlessly all morning and early afternoon. I did manage to catch 3 fish on small nymphs (the usual 18 to 20 size nymphs) and one fish swinging a wet fly, one of my favorite methods to fish for trout. It was a smallish fish, quickly in and back in the water, but...
I fished #3 for only about 90 mins yesterday. I tried some bigger stuff just for fun. Nothing. Then, switched to the regular tiny stuff and caught 1 little guy, but that's it. Anything unusual working for you guys?
Hoping to make it out tomorrow. Got a new Tenkara rod to try out, Iwana 12. Any advice on where to go? What to avoid? Really looking forward to just getting in the water and being outside for a bit.
Hello, I am new to fly fishing. I live 2 miles to San Pablo bay. Is there anyone doing striper fishing on a fly rod off Pinole bayfront park? or where is a good place to catch a striper on a fly rod from shore? thanks -- Edited by DrewC on Wednesday 19th of April 2017 08:43:12 AM
Went this morning for about three hours after being off the water for over 4 months. Fished the stretch of water from access 4 along the foot path down to the island, and the first three or four hundred yards of the island. It is possible to still cross the river to the island even at 800 cfs. Only very sh...
I saw somebody spey casting yesterday right above the fork at #5... Is that ever a good method for PC?? I wonder if that person had success. On another note, a man I was fishing with caught this young fish (still had parr marks) even with the high flow. Get out there! I was surprised by how chunky the fish wa...
Did anyone find a fly rod let on the creek . The only thing I can say to describe it is I remember rigging up one of my Rods for high sticking with red abnisia , not sure which one but I defiantly had one rigged, And now no rod rigged up for high sticking and I dont remember removing the Abnisia so I can only assum...
