BLUEGILLS BLUEGILLS BLUEGILLS!!! The lake has dropped bout 5 feet from 3 weeks ago, but the water is lookin really good. Very bassy water. nymphs, and the usual bass flies worked well. Very nice day in all. Side note: if anybody wants to get their kids hooked on flyfishing, tomorrow is the day to do it....
I enjoy fishing the creek this time of year. Higher flows ,warm weather, no people. The creek forces me to fish hard. Adjusting weight, leader and changing flies at every hole. I put in a few more hours again today. I fished each spot until it gave up its secret. Plenty of little fish (6"-8&qu...
Just a couple more weeks and me and a buddy are heading North to fish the McCloud and Upper Sac for 4 days. I also want to try some of the smaller creeks around Mt Shasta for some fun small fish action, think McCloud Red bands. Conditions should be prime by then.
As a few of you know I am guiding now, and its a blast, but things are on the slow side so I had to get a pt job. And I have to say I love it. I work in fishing department as the Fly Fishing Man at a new outfitter up in placerville called Mosquito Creek Outfitters. Its a great place, 3rd gen family owned, has al...
Arrived at the river around 10 am. Super low flow, but good clarity. Saw a bunch of fish working one seam and fished it most of the day. No takes on any nymphs. Threw just about the whole box at 'em, mainly size 18-20 midges etc. Finally around 2 pm, a good PMD hatch came off and fish were rising all over. Thre...
I was wondering around the creek today at access 5, and noticed that some of the C&R signs are missing. I found one ripped down right below the lot at 5, where some people had to of been camping recently down there. There was a dug out fire pit and a clothes line hung from 2 trees.. And it looked like they...
Since the summer sierra season is fast approaching I'm looking for a good wet wading boot that is lightweight and good for hiking as well. I think I might look at trying some korkers ultra lights with a stuuded rubber soles. Does anyone have experience with the interchangable sole system they use ? Th...
To All, We are trying to put together a box of flies for the PCT fundraiser on July 10th. The idea is to tie 3 of your favourite Yuba fly and send them in to me. I will put them in a box and get them to Steve for the auction. The best looking flies in the collection will win a bottle of wine (judged by me). I know it i...
Man - no posts for a long time. Guess all of you were bait slingers after all and the new regs have crimped your style! In any event, has anyone been out lately? Flows are way up (which I like) and the temps are hot. Last night (got there about 6:15), there was a very nice baetis hatch (I think they were baetis...
After working far too much the last few weeks and having a couple of back to back 6 day work weeks, I got to enjoy my final Yuba Raffle weekend at the UC Property this weekend. JL came up on Saturday and I had another friend join me on Sunday. We knew the flows would be a little high, but did not have any idea...
Next week is my annual camping trip with my brother and his kids, we usually head to Sourgrass on the NF or Sand Bar Flat on the Middlefork Stan. Any one been up there recently, like in the last week or so? I'm trying to determine if flows will be OK or if we should consider a backup location.
Finally dumping the Cabelas Dry Plus waders and hugely ungrading to Simms. I am looking at the G4s and G3s and was hoping I can get some reviews from those that have used or currently use these waders. Not quit sure which ones yet, hopefully this will help me decide. So any advise, reviews or just you...
I will attribute the following news to the efforts of Putah Creek Trout and all of you anglers who have been calling CALTip to report regulations violations on Putah Creek. I know I have spoken with several of you who have stayed on course with this. Our local Game Warden who patrols Putah Creek, Lance...
I hadn't seen too many reports lately, so I thought I'd warm up the info hotline with a report on the Yuba. After 5 weeks of no fishing, Alastair and I headed up to the Lower Yuba on Sunday to remember how to do it. We made up for lost time and put in a solid 12 hours of fishing during the day. It's been a long...

Hey, I was hoping to get a little more knowledge on the egg bite and some hopper info. I have'nt actually fished either one yet, and I'm starting to build both fly reserves. I have been looking at past posts as well as trying to gain other info. Can anyone help answer a few questions to help get me started?...
Went out today as a spare of the moment outing, loaded with my 5 weight and 3 popper/D-diver flies I got there around 9 oclock, the tide was high and heading out so I figured that I would have about 3 hours fishing at best. I ended up catching these 3 having one more ON and having 3 more blowups on a white poppe...

Hey all! I'm heading back to the yuba next week. I was wondering where it's safe to cross above the bridge considering the current flows. Haven't done it yet to be honest. Just don't want to go swimming. Thx Brett

Well looks like the gf wants to take me somewhere special for my bday. Its sometime away, Sept 18th, but figured I would ask around and get some ideas first. I was thinking either a guided float trip somewhere that I havent fished or go camping for a good week up in Yosemite or Trinity or something like t...
Hey Gang: Been a while since I fished the creek (can't remember the last time) - but it's so nice to see our efforts coming to fruition with all the signage and new regs postings. Given the overgrown state of the trails and lack of garbage at access 5, my emperical observation is that there is a bit less p...
