The font size on this board is so small I can hardly read it. It changed a couple of months ago to a 12pt. Is this my computer only, a settings change on my end or something only managed by Kieth. I spend less and less time on here due to the font size. I have looked around but cant find any user settings to m...

Broke my rod the other day about 4 inches from the tip. Is there anything i can do about fixing it or anyone that knows of a place that can fix it? thanks for the help

What brand off thread do you preffere for basic fly's in the 16 to 20 size range. I've been using danville but have recently found uni-thread to be a much better thread. I also had been tying most often with 6/0 but have found that 8/0 works better for most of my applications.
Hi everyone stopped at that little store right next to the lake that's right at the beginning of the creek and seen that they have some gear they are caring like some nice net's and backpacks that go in the front don't know what you call them but the net's were like $24.00 and the backpacks were about the sa...

So I hooked up a real fighter Friday. As soon as I set the hook I could see it's silver flashes as it gave me some nasty head shakes. I was surprised to see the color of this guy once I got it closer. It went 16"-17" and was a beautiful silver and green with a big pink stripe. I'm assuming that...
Well Me and a buddy were fishing the Napa River today and the fishing was horrible, Freezing outside which made for a goose egg. Came across this goose though which had 30lb mono rat nested and tangeled in her wings and around her neck with about a foot of the nest dragging behind her in the water. My...
Cody great idea. I'll start another one. All photos are in Calif 1- Name this body of water2-Name this river3-Name this location and body of water4-Name this river5-Name this location and mountain6-Name this river7-Name this valley and location
Since the winter spawn is on, I am suggesting that people just write in how the fishing trip was. Many of the regulars have figured this out. It will be somewhat informative, but will not give out locations, and will not have photos of locations. If any photos are posted they should just be a close up o...
I'm new to the board and read the threads about baitfishing out of season and posting signs with interest. The current regs have been in place for at least 30+years while the usage of the creek has increased a lot. I personally would like to see zero limit for the whole stretch from dam to dam year rou...
GOTCHA! Well I thought with all this madness going on right now, i would lighten up the mood a little bit through a cheesy little contest. So, this is how it works: I post 6 pictures with a question corresponding to each one. First peron to get them all right get a Simms ball cap and maybe a few flies. Send re...
While waiting for the compulsory potatoes to cook this evening, I was passing the time by thumbing through the pages of the Californian Departments of Fish and Game rules and regulations for freshwater sport fishing and I came across this exciting piece of literature in the back of the leaflet.

Our co-founder, Chairman and President, Dr. Charrick Chang, has provided a glimpse of the origins of the quest for a reg change that began in April 2007: http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=65954&p=3&topicID=11248833 We have Gary's vision, and that of Bono who did a lot o...
What do you guys use to cut wire close to the body (say on a copper john)? I've been using my Dr. Slick scissors and (as I expected) it's not too great for them. Wire cutters don't work for the close up work. Vince
Went out yesterday with Brain and jvento hooked up with a few and lost a couple sorry :( but boy did we guys have a blast joking :) with each other and having fun love it. Talk to you guys soon ! Tell next time make it a great day !
Exxective January 10th, 2010, you will no longer be required to purchase the Bay/ Delta Enhancement Stamp!!!! The DF&G is discontinuing the entire program which was funded by revenue which the stamp generated. So, a few more bucks in the pocket for 2010. All of you can afford to buy me an addit...
Hopefully at this time tommorrow, we will have found out if the new proposed regs change for Putah has passed. The Fish and Game Commission is slated to announce it's decision at tommorrow's meeting!!!! Keep your fingers crossed. Bob
I'm looking for a couple of things. I'd like buy a 9'6" 7 weight rod for the American and the Feather. I have a reel to match it up to. My skills are intermediate at best. Also I'd like to try muzzleloader for deer. Anyone have either of these items they might be interested in selling? Randy West
caught my first delta striper this afternoon my 4 weight fly rod messing around trying to catch some bait.. ill let my picture do the talking 9.2# on a 6# leader, took a good 5-10 min to get her in
I have been working with DF&G Enforcement Division officers with respect to Putah Creek. I am happy to say that the work which is being done by Putah Creek Trout and board members does not go unnoticed by the DF&G staff. The enforcement division of DF&G is asking all people fishing Putah...
