So my buddy and I made it out to the Carson for the first time. Labor day weekend (Sunday). Got on the water a little before 8:00am downstream of Hangman's. Beautiful river. We did alot of walking to get away from all the people that eventually showed up. I rigged up the night before with a stonefly n...

I was on the way home from a fishin trip last night and saw two groups of Elk cruising. The first group had a monster bull sitting on the side of the hill, but was too far away to get a picture. This is the second group here although this bull was a smaller sample. Still impressive though and you can actual...
Made a late afternoon run to the creek..Fishing over the last few weeks went from great to poor..It wasnt the silt , lack of bugs, over growth of grass or my fishing buddy for the day...I can only blame my lack of success on one thing...That stupid float tube Otter gave to JL....My hole has been raped.......
Hello everyone, I am heading out to float tube Heenan lake for the first time in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone have any advise for a first timer on that lake?
My rant is this, Every angler survey box I have encountered this year on sierra waters have been empty ! I think 6 I have checked. Its obvious they have been empty for sometime as theres no pencils and theres just dust in them, And if they were just empty from being filled out you would be able to see them in t...

I picked up a new 7/8 Okuma Vashon reel for dirt cheap. I don't need that size reel but I couldn't pass up the price. Anyone want to trade for a 5 wt reel? -- Edited by Ty on Friday 27th of August 2010 10:52:58 AM
November 11-14 me and 2 buddies will be heading East. It's really cold but a great time to be there. May hike up to Kirman and try for some big Brookies, never been there.
Fished a few hours in the evening on the hottest day of year. Tons of bugs, which was nice to see, and one of those days on Putah when you realize what a great fishery it can be. I hooked into at least 30 fish, with lots of LDRs in fast water, most fish in the 10 to 13 inch range with a couple bigger and several s...

Never before had I caught two fish on the same cast. Was throwing a hopper with a caddis dropper, fish rises, i set, and all of a sudden a tug of war commences between a 14" bow and about a 13" pike minnow. Laughed pretty hard, and brought them both to hand. As always, released the little bow t...

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 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...
