On a recent 4th grade field trip to the gold country with my son, we had occaision to rescue a couple little rainbows. Just had to put them back in the main channel. The were alive but suffering from exposure. 3 total, 1 doubtful, 2 good chances of survival. I ended up wandering down stream, while the kids...
Heading up to Sunriver for a few days with some boys for a multi day golf trip. We're staying at the resort and I see the Deschutes goes right through a couple of the courses on the resort property. Needless to say, I'm dragging some fly gear along too for the evening hatch. I called a fly shop in SUnrive...
So santa brought me a new gopro 2 for xmas. Since this thing doesn't come with video editing software what do you guys use to chop your videos? Packrat? Richard?
Is anyone out there using the Korkers boots that have the snap in style soles on them? They have four different options with felt, studded and that slippery s#*t everyone is trying to pass off as sticky rubber. Seems like a good concept just dunno how well they hold up.
Just got back from a great morning on the Pit at Rock Creek. Had 6 fish in the net with a 17 incher the best of the bunch. Took a couple of swims and filled my waders which felt pretty good in the heat.
Tough river to fish. I think I lost about 20 flies and I never had so many fish break me off. The big ones run str...
On Friday Rep. Dan Lungren wrote to the Secretary of the Interior claiming that San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area cities that use Hetch Hetchy water were in violation of the Raker Act and should be prohibited from further use of Hetch Hetchy as a storage facility. His long term goal is the remova...
I was fishing on PC yesterday and noticed another fisherman watching me from the opposite bank. I was not in an easy to access spot, and was surprised by the guy. He proceeded to stare at me for about 5 minutes, never saying a word. I felt alarmed. I had crossed the stream and maybe he was pissed I was in &quo...
I'm relatively new to Putah creek. I fished it yesterday and lost two sizeable trout (one looked like it was pushing 20") on number 18 to 20 flies. The first problem I had was no net. But I'm wondering if there's a secret to landing fish on small flies. I was playing the big fish for longer than I norm...
I have been noticing more and more tree limbs missing with saw marks lately on the creek. Legally I am sure this is a no no but I am curious to your opinions in regards to this. I don't think I would ever do it, I like the challenge when fishing Putah. I understand the frustration it causes. I guess I have...
Just checking to see what people think about the current flows on Putah (400cfs). Is this too high to fish the creek effectively? or are there some access points that fish better than others? thinking about going this weekend but don't want drive all the way just to get beat up by a swift creek. Than...
Hit the creek for a bit today. Figured it would be a little busy for the holiday weekend. All I can say is the RV park was rockin like the old days and I had some good laughs. It hasn't been as nuts as it was before, but this brought back some times. Then on the way out I had a fish rocket off the bottom and ham...
I have the Euro nymphing bug. I'm contemplating buying a more specialized rod to match the style. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?
I'm Looking at 10' 3 or 4 weights. I want to do Polish/Czech short line as well as French/Spanish longer line casting.
I am not going to spend more than $...
April and May when the rivers are still a little high. I have found you can have a lot of fun in the lakes. One of the lakes is by Almanor and is full of small mouth bass the other good lake is full of brown trout that fight like crazy!
Since i've been catching some really nice fish on the Yuba river lately i though i should have a photographer take some nice photos of the 6 wt spey rod and the tube before i gets to banged up from fishing. last week i caught several nice rainbows one 18 and a 19 incher on the swing with variants of north coun...
Years ago the Vacaville Fiesta days was always around the hight of the shad run for the Feather river. Anybody been out to the Feather; Shanghi or Thermolito?

Ok how about a different destination; Gerle creek. I've never tried it with a fly rod, have always used small spinners. Browns, Brookies and Rainbows up to about 12" but most are smaller. The creek itself is a whoppong 10' accros on average granted with the snow melt it might be up a bit though i...

Hey All, Got an hour on the creek, but with high flows an hour turned into only about 20 drifts and the mostly hiking around and enjoying the scenery. Anyone on the creek tomorrow or this weekend? I have to teach a course next week and am looking to burn of some stress on the river beforehand. Vince
Used but like new condition reels that were only used for private casting lessons. Most of the reels come with line/backing and they are in hardly used to used condition, but really only need a good cleaning. The lines are SA or Rio, and I will not swap lines around, and all prices are Negotiable. 1) Gold...
Teal and cream, swinging to the swallows swoop. spotted rainbow friend. Riffles woosh then glide, from snowmelt, rolls then boils. In my hand, she, spring bright.http://tonysalpenglow.blogspot.com/2012/05/yuba-ku-5-13-2012.html
Decided to head up today even though we just got a nice flow bump to 600. As expected, a tough day of fishing, although I managed one fat 18 incher to hand and a few more takedowns to boot. What was working was 6x and 7x tippet (water's high but gin clear), big dark colored flies, and lots of shot fished in sof...
Hi my name is John and I'm new to this site and also fly fishing. I'm taking casting lessons soon in sac. I'm looking for a good stater rod and reel, and also any tips for a beginner.
I was fishing at access 5 today and my friend spotted a mountain lion on the island. Just a friendly reminder that we fish in their backyard not ours.
