I got out twice last week, Monday on the LT from 3-7pm and Friday on the Truckee from 7-10am. Was on vacation with the family so I had to take what I could get! If the flows don't come up on the LT I would not suggest hitting it. I called my guide buddy when I got there to get the scoop and he said the LT was at 40cfs...

I'm fishing the Wood and Williamson in a week and a half and have never before. If anyone has feel free to post your experience. I've done some research but 1st hand info would be much appreciated. Thanks Oak

I am predominately a kayak fisherman, but have a history of occasionally fly fishing. It has been probably 5+ years since I last had the fly rod in my hands. After a stressful week, I fly fished the Lower reach and landed 2 Sacramento Pikeminnows. I figured I could try above Solano tonight. Now it has...

We've been up to Putah a couple times this summer and as most of you know, we always bring our dog, Rusty with us. He mostly sits in the car but also I walk him around while Richard is fishing. One of the days he stepped on a nest(?) of ticks-- they were all over him-- and I spent half an hour picking them off and...

Practicaly brand new Rio Gold WF8F line. It was only used for one day, and not even a full day only a few hours on the water. Bought it on 8/7, used it on 8/10 and I took it off the reel when I got home. I need to get the 9wt line. My lose your gain pd 70 plus tax, selling for 50 bucks FIRM. I have the original box and i...

Anyone have any sugestion on were i should start to fly fish on the the creek

I'm wanting to get a new net that doesn't get my hooks caught in it all the time. Do any of you guys use the silicon nets?

I figured we could have a little fun here. Honor system so DON'T GO LOOKING IT UP ! Just guess what you think is the correct answer. The question is......What trout stream, creek, or river has highest density of trout per mile of any water in California ??? I'll help out a bit and eliminate the ones I think...

Wow, anyone fishing the creek anymore? I just got back from the Stanislaus. Great time. Thinkin about the creek again. Oh well, I guess it's hush hush now adays.- Brett

With all of this cold weather, my head cement gets really goopy. I've tried to put the jar in a glass of warm water for a while, but that didn't really help all that much. You guys have any suggestions? -Jon

Took the camera into the river to see what I could see last weekend, as most people have reported there are far more small mouth bass than trout. However, there were still a good number of trout in the system. I watch a number of fish actively feeding on items in the water column that looked literally invi...

Okay here's the question. Since our hatches are so messed up this year(right now) what's everybody tying? I am working on some stuff for next week but was sorta curious about what else you folks are working on.

I am interested in buying a Hardy Marquis Salmon 1 reel in good condition. This will be for my steelhead set up, going tradition this upcoming season. If you have one or know of someone that has one please let me know. Thanks Brian

My brother and I just got back from camping on the North feather. He just turned 18 but was traveling during that so we didn't get to hang out. He has never flyfished before but has been asking about it finally over the last few months. I had also been wanting to see this river again after 10 or so years. ...

Take a gander at this post & good luck.

Hey Guys, I know this is mostly a fly fishing forum. Ive only been fishing for about... well 10 days to be honest. Last time was about 15 years ago in Boy Scouts. Right now im getting back into it with just a spin reel and some lures. My question is about the actual "Lake" part of Solano Lake/Pu...

Alastair and I headed up for a quick hitter to the Truckee area this past weekend. We fished the Truckee down low near Nevada, at the Loop, on the Little T and hit NF Yuba on the way home. We probably coulnd not have timed it worse. A full moon was out at night, high sun during the day and it was a mere 98 degre...

If anyone is planning on being in the area between the 7th and 14th hit me up. I'll be there all week at my families timeshare.

I'll be up on the Clark's Fork this upcoming weekend anyone know what the water is looking like? I haven't been out that way yet this year. Any info would be appreciated. - Nic

I am having a hard time finding flies tied on barbless hooks, so I am going to have to learn how to remove the barbs. How do you do it, or where can you find flies on barbless hooks.

anyone? sierras, northern cal, anywhere really this or next weekend hit me up.

I did a weekend trip to the silver fork last weekend. It's really sad to see the amount of trash along the river. You could make a small fortune collecting beer cans. Theres to many people just going #2 what seems like everywhere, Its disgusting. The river was crowded with lots of beer drinkin gun shooti...

Anyone ever fished this lake? Any info appreciated

Fished the McCloud on Thursday at Ah-Di-Nah and Friday on the nature conservancy. Fished the Upper Sac Saturday at Soda Creek and Sunday at Pollard Flat. The reports sure were misleading....everything said Caddis and Golden Stones. I think I saw 5 stones in 4 days and very few caddis. Lots of mayflie...

Does anyone use these, and any recomendations? I have seen rattlesnakes the last three times out fishing and am thinking about buying some gaiters to protect my legs. This past Friday I was paying more attention to the mosquitos swarming me on the hike down to the river when my brother yells at me....
