Going up to Donner this Thursday, THinking the water on top of the lake may be cold enough for some of the big boys to be crusing in the shallows? think it could be productive to wade or throw streemers from the bank? I have never tried this at donner. I know that the big Macks start showing up this time of yea...
Thinking of going to the creek maybe next weekend, just wanted to know what people are using for set ups. I useally use a long leader around 10 to 12 feet 5 X and then 5 X tippet, usually swing flies. i know that asking people to show you a thing or two on a body of water is kind of like asking someone to tell you...
I understand that you may need to have some sort of ad in order to help pay for the site, but is there any way you could get rid of the one that says, "Congratulations, You won!"? It's REALLY annoying. -Jon
I'm looking to meet some local fly fishers and organize a carpool up to Putah. I'd be interested in going directly after work for some evening fishing, or a weekend day trip. Send a PM or email me at v.s.buffalo (at) gmail (dot com).
Greetings to everyone! I thought I would throw in my first post. I'm new to the creek, but throwin' fly's for a number of years. I ran across this site and have read past entries thoroughly when I realized how passionate you folks are about conservation, reds, clean up etc. I'm impressed and consider my...
A few weeks ago I got my Sage 4550 Limited Edition green Fly reel stolen. Does anyone have a Sage reel for sale or know of anyone with a reel for sale I need to go fishing!Thanks-Jason
I ran across this video today: That's they way I've been doing it since I saw MX do it on the Feather. Even though it's not adjustable, it's great! Vince
I also fished Putah today, its the first time ive fished it in about 4 months. I struggled, 4 small fish to hand. Not very crowded which was nice this must be due to the poor fishing. When I fished 4 months ago I told myself I am done fishing putah but once again it sucked me back in. Im just very frustrate...
Fished a few weeks back and just remembered about this photo I took. Here's what happened... I started my 11 o'clock morning wading up along the uneven granite banks of the river that will be unnamed. My game plan was to explore and fish new water before reaching the "Glory Hole." Trekking t...
I decide to hit Putah today, giving myself only a 1 hour drive for some fishing. I think this was the first time ! fished Putah in 11 months???? It was like seeing an old friend again. There were only 4 other cars parked along the road, I'm curious if this is because the egg bite is happening on other riv...
After being skunked numerous times at Putah, I finally got into a few today. Nothing huge but nice wild fish. The wind was howling in the trees but right on the water it was fairly calm.
Okay, I promised Brian I would post a pic from the latest "pig fest" from the Carson. A big hen on a #14 olive sparkle dun. It's been an epic three weeks guys. B. what did you think of that weather? Crazy huh? iFish
Thanks for spanking Alistair But I don't think I'll want to try that again any time soon Fishing is fun but doing it in the rain ! I don't know. Alistair --11 . richard --2. Those fancy midges you were using sure do work but doing it in the rain I'll probably pass next time but thanks for the ride nonethel...
Here is an interview with the Cutters. I am not so sure about the Fluoro statement, but the rest is really good. http://sierrafisherman.com/technique.html
I've been slowly getting into various types of spey casts (hoping to get a spey rod soon!), and in watching some videos about casting, I saw some great videos of the snap T: It's a quick cast that works great with a single handed rod. When I drift...
The big Browns are evey where in the system , deep ! Got a lot of water with the last storm, 6+ " River came up 3' +, but fishing was very good, Oct Caddis , drys in evening , and dawn fishing with streamers , for the bigger fish 5 to 10 lb pigs . Will down load photos in a day or two. MOSES PS GOING...
I just spent 4 days fishing out of Bridgeport with a buddy of mine. We got in later in the afternoon on Thursday and only fished for a little while on the East Walker and checked out locations for the next day. Fished all day Friday and did really well, both of us were well into the 20's with fish counts. Just...
dont know if anyone has had their vehicle broken into on the american recently or maybe even this yr but here is a link to possibly gettin your items back. sorry that its is only going on today, just looked at another website and saw it so figured id post it. here is the link http://www.kiene.com/forums/...
My brother and I made a quick overnight trip to Davis Lake near Portola. We fish 3 hours on Wed and 4 hours on Thur. Wed I caught 8 fish and Thur I caught 16. Most of the fish were in the 12 to 13 inch category with a couple of fish in the 15-17 inch range. The hot fly was a Blood Midge, followed by a Sheep Creek...
I am thinking about hittin it up tomorrow, any ideas of what the flows are supposed to be like? Wondering if it's worth the drive. I looked at todays flows below 100. This is my first year fly fishing, so I am trying to figure out the flows and relating it to what I can expect! Any ideas? Thanks
Otter, AfricanAngler and myself headed up to the Yuba yesterday. It was hot and humid all during the day. We were soaked through pretty quickly. We hit the egg bite pretty hard. Fishing was decent. I lost a couple of nice fish and one huge something that shot off like a cannon. It had me in my backin...
Just wondering if any one has ever thrown flies in Hawaii. I'm thinking of throwing my 8wt in the suitcase but don't know anything about ocean fishing.
I think this is a stickleback. Caught it the other day by access 5. It was only about 2" long and uglier than a mo fo. This is not the actual one I caught but this is what it looked like. I false hooked it on a midge.
I'm a lifelong flyer from Los Angeles who just moved here a few months ago. I've spent a few days up at Putah and have enjoyed myself thoroughly. Nailed a few up at the Yuba River last month as well, actually. I'm looking to spend some time up into the Sierras. I've been forum lurking a bit, and I've read...
Hey All, I'm procrastinating because I rather be fishing (or writing about fishing) than catching up on some work. Here's a review... Katadyn Hiker water filter - $54.99 on Amazon.com I've never met another fly fisher who brings a water filter to the river. I find this surprising, because modern fil...
I hit the creek today around noon to check out the flows and throw some flys and was surprised to see flows I thought they would be lower then they were so I put on a san juan and a dropper of some kind Im not sure what and landed my biggest to date on the creek maybe 17 or 18 inches and about two to two and a hal...
Yesterday Richard, Sarah, and I headed out for a quick morning outing. I had great luck in hooking 8 or so fish, but horrible luck bringing them in. The normal spots with the normal techniques were slow (probably from pressure this week), but some high-sticking with no dropper and a lot of weight produ...
