Hit the creek from about 4:45pm-6:45pm. Flows are getting up to their summer numbers. Water is not as clear as I thought it should be. Hooked up a big brute but couldn't land him. Story of the afternoon is beware of snakes! Saw one crossing the road, looked like a 4-5 foot rattler couldn't get a poss...
With all of the high water about our rivers, I decided it would be a good time to head into the American River basin, below snow level for some creek fishing. Three of us headed off for El Dorado Creek, a trib to the Middle Fork American. Past fishing here has been outstanding. Lots os fish and decent siz...
As I continue to watch stream flows that hover around the Dow Jones index on most rivers, cabin fever has set in. I'm sure the Feather Low Flow is OK, but crowds gotta be big. So, I took my son-in-law up to the Lower Sac with Ryan Johnston a week ago Friday. It was his second time fly fishing and first time...
There is a hatch of Little Yellow Stones on the creek. Most enter the main creek from feeder creeks... It is one of the few times during the year you can actually get fish to hit a pretty big dry fly on Putah . There is also a pretty good hatch of caddis in the riffles. Here is a link to the little yellow st...
If this is a repeat forgive me... Who is down for a steelhead fly swap? I've been sitting at the vise and have a @#$% for steelhead flies! I don't care if its swung, dead drifted, nymphed, indicated or dry flied... if its targeting steelhead, lets swapit. With that said I've never run a swap so bare w...
Hey all, I know this is hardly relevant to the area/region, but I thought I'd post up some fish porn for your viewing pleasure. I caught these in SW Montana (Yellowstone, Gallatin, Madison, and Big Hole rivers) about two weeks ago. Enjoy.
Things are looking good for the Truckee , lets hope they dont fall apart . Found a place to stay for 119.00 for 3 nights . Lets hope the weather and the flows holds file:///Users/sarah/Desktop/hungry.gif still havent figured out these more emotions ?
I have in my possession a Kunnan, 8ft, CG7205 AFTMA 6-7... Not sure if the 6-7 means 6-7 wt, but the rod in general feels fairly noodley. I wouldn't be throwing a 6wt line on it, I think its more of a 4wt or less. Feels that way anyways. Any info that could be provided would be great. I don't think its anything...

Well, I am going back to Turneffe Flats the first week of December. This is through one of my buddies hosted trips down there. I went last October and had a blast. There is something for everyone there as far as salt water fishing goes. This is bone fish and permit paradise. The food and lodging are t...

Dear Sir, I would like to address the attempts being made by the Putah Creek Trout foundation (P.T.C.) and any affiliated fly fishing groups to make Putah Creek a dedicated, no take, "wild fishery". I would like to start by saying there would, in all likelihood, be no wild trout in Putah C...
I was out last week and I saw some guys fishing with sin rods, so I watched to see if they were using bait. It looked like they were using artificial eggs, but the rubber powerbait type not a yarn type. Is it legal to use rubber bait? What if it has a scent? I took a photo of the truck with the license plate showi...

As we all know, hunting for chrome or trout right now just isn’t in the lineup for our weekly ritual due to the high blow out flows of every CA River. Well I just couldn’t take the cabin fever anymore. 2 weeks of tying, canceling trips, more trying and playing an occasional video game just wasn’t cutting t...
Just wondering if anyone ever fishes Putah Creek that feeds Berryessa? I haven't ever been up there to see it for myself but I figured kokenee probably run up there to spawn and possibly a few rainbows. I think I am going to go check it out this week depending on the weather. Any info would be great.
