Anyone here ever hire a guide on the Bow River? I'm headed there next month and plan to float a couple days, but thought I'd give a shout out for recommendations before I do. Thanks! Chris
Got out onto Putah after a long time away. The flows were high but the water was very clear and fishable. You had to know your access spots to get into good sections of water. Between me and my buddy we must have hooked around 20 fish between 10:00am and 4:00pm. Pretty much every fish came on a size 20 black m...
For the small stream afficinados, I have a weight TXL, 7'10" 3 piece rod in mint condition with blank card and original Sage cloth sock and tube. Cork shows no signs of use and the blank is mint. $325 or would consider a trade for a comparable 3 weight rod. -- Edited by Bob Loblaw on Monday 6th of...
On a visit to the Bigfoot. Iсe fishing. Part 2 In these locations we had come in the winter for the first time. Had to a lot to drive by snowmobiles in order to find the fish. Video by Vladimir Ryaposov, Aleksander Bobrovskiy Music by Vladimir Ryaposov -- Ed...
I drifted the lower Sac on Thursday with my fishing partner ably guided by Ryan of RJs fly trips. We opted to fish downstream from Anderson, smaller fish but more of them. We set sail about 9am and drifted 11 miles before pulling out a little before 5. I lost count of the fish total, but I think we had 41 i...
Heres my experiences with simms. First pair of boots lasted 5 moths, soles tore off, they replaced them at no charge, That was good but I was without boots for nearly 2 weeks, Second pair of boots lasted little less then one year, They would not replace them due to quote Hard use. So several weeks ago I dec...
Going to camp around Salt Springs Res. and was wondering if hiking to the in flow of the M river into salt Springs was worth it, or does the tail water fish too?
The road was on a fishing trip full of danger. Forbidden to ekspluotatsii ice crossing over the river, icy mountain passes and deep snow in the Siberian Taiga. But that is exactly what must be real men. On a visit to the Bigfoot Part 1 http://youtu.be/JCuqYVa0NM0 Video by Vladimir Ryaposov, Ale...
Rgloft and I hit the creek today. Slow day. Talked to some old timers that had had a decent morning around access three, mostly on mayflies. I hooked one good one that came off real fast and landed a little six inch parr. for Rich. Cool thing though, had a little isoperla stone land on my arm. Probably si...
hey guys i'm a fly fishing newbie and have only fly fished for less than a year...i'm just wondering if my fly line is still useable. i bought this 5 wt forward floating line from Rio for indicator fishing on Putah. I bought it last year and it's been great! Naturally though, it's starting to show wear an...
Like Otter, we just back from a week on the eastside, mostly various sections of the Owens and Hot Creek. Hot Creek was low-ish and tough, the Crowley fish had vacated the Upper Owens, and the Gorge was unexplicably high due to turbine work. Good news was the Lower Owens was on fire. No caddis blankets...
I didn't start doing reports by posting the date in the subject line until I saw someone else do it on here and I like the concept. Was wondering what others think about the idea of making reports a Sticky and posting the date at the top of the narrative. Seems like it would be an easy and nice way to get a q...
I've never purchased anything on EBay before but I'm giving it a try to pick up a 3 weight for some summer hiking trips. I've bid on a couple of rods, but on one auction, one guy keeps pushing the price up on me. I'm close to my max an ready to let him have it. Looking at his purchase history it seems he has mad...
Grass moon apogee. Beneath, Leo ascending. Slicks and glides fecund with fish. Rhitogenia morrisoni. With the heart of Regulas, silver sides rise. No time for lunch. No time for afternoon coffee. River ablaze once more.http://tonysalpenglow.blogspot.com/2013/04/yuba-tanka-april-6-11-...
I was working on the East side this week and made sure to pack the old fly rod. The Walker was fishing well. I meant to make a stop at Hot Creek, but missed the exit... So I hit the Walker up twice. The crowds were small and the fish were happy! More rainbows than brownies which seemed kinda odd. Also ca...
Made another one day run to the Yuba last Thursday. We went in at the bridge and hoofed all the way up to the narrows. There are many, many trout doing their spawning thing up there right now. It was a good day, cloud cover, but warm. There were PMD's, midges and Mayflies coming off, with the sporadic M...
A friend and I went out to the Lower Stan last Thursday. It was after the storm passed on Wed and I wasn't too excited to be fishing in rising air pressure, but any day fishing beats working, right? It was my first time that close to the dam and I have to say I was stymied at times. A lot of the water close to th...
I was fishing a spot in the sierra few weeks ago, Its a place that has always been open year around. I was informed by a game warden that the regs. have changed for 2013 and it is now under the general trout regs. He was cool and said he's not enforcing it until signs are posted, and we were aloud to continue to...
Man I can't believe the way the flows just keep going up??? Usually this time of year the flow stabilize at around 300-400 cfs and the fishing is great. It seems the flows will just keep going up to 800 or 900. When is the opener 3 more weeks...
Do any of you have a recollection of there being a winter/spring salmon/steelhead run on WC?? One of my odd interests is "rooting" for the "underdog" individuals (fish) that try to go where nature tells them to even though we (humans) have made that really difficult for them. I...
The March 15th event was a real success for the group and Canyon Creek resort as well. The venue was perfect, the fly tiers enjoyed the event quite a bit, our name got out even further and we were able to decrease the amount of raffle prizes that Steve Karr has been dragging around. It was great to socia...
