Hi all, Been awhile since I've posted on this forum but I wanted to share an experience. When we go fishing we think of things that can cause harm to us. Rattlesnakes, Bears, Falling, Mountin lions, Other people etc. I never really thought about being hit by a landslide. Last saturday I was fishing in t...
I was fishing this weekend on one of my favorite tailwater sections and hooked a stud of a rainbow on a size 20 zebra midge. Mid fight, the line went slack. When I got my flies in, the hook had straightened out. I’ve fished a ton of these midges this winter and I’ve landed several nice trout, but this was a fi...
Parked under the bridge on the near side. I wondered that I didn't see any cars, but I soon learned why. The trail down to the water disappeared after a 100 yards or so. The vegetation was really thick so the trail down went right to the water's edge, and soon enough, right into the water. Real pain in the as...

There's a lot more water! Fished pretty hard today - landed one decent fish, one baby par, and lost 1 small guy - so generally unsuccessful. But, it was awesome to be back on the water! I've been too busy to fish lately and it sure is nice to get back out. Hope some of you had more success than me today!

I have been a flyfisher for over 40 years. When I got my first VCR, I started recording every trout-related flyfishing show that I could. Consequently, I have a collection of easily more than 500 shows. However, in the last year and a half, I have probably recorded less than a half dozen shows, not becau...
Have a Sage SFL 580 and the cork health is dwindling. Could anyone point in the right direction for replacing cork on this old rod or whether its probable? Thanks
Lost it this morning at the head of the island at access 5. Had it strapped to my pack and when I got to the water, after wading across, I no longer had it. Searched the trail but didn't see it. It must have fallen into the water when I was wading. It's still wrapped in its cloth. If anybody finds it please repl...
He's gutting the clean water act. He's gutting the clean air act. He's not opposed to re-introducing dredger mining in rivers. He's gutting the endangered species act (rare species of Cutthroats anybody?). The rules regarding what mine operators can dump are being reviewed. SO...MUCH....WINNI...
got there at 6, gate was locked. wasn't opened untill after 7:30. Went fishing and quickly caught my first fish. It was exactly 3 inches long. Then the wind came up from the west and rendered my new two weight useless for casting dries. Reverted back to nymphs and caught five more, the largest of which...
I know, I know it's not a rod / reel/ boat/ waders ...etc. but it's my website so what the hell😬. I have two Honda ct90s for sale, 1970 and a 1972. They look and run great, they will start on first or second kick. Great bikes for hunting or searching for your favorite hard to reach fishing spots.they both hav...
Hey Forum Folks! I am a newcomer to this discussion, as I have finally begun making visits to Putah with some measured success. I'm just curious... what's the CFS zone for "ideal fishing" on the creek, and when does it reach "utterly un-fishable?" I see that the current flow is pushing 680, but I don't k...
All: Yolo County has closed all Fishing Accesses due to the rapidly spreading County fire. Highway 128 is closed at Pleasant Valley road and at Markley Cove. YC's notice says the closure is in effect until "the fire is out".
I’m pretty sure that river etiquette is that when someone is tying up their rig while standing in front of a hole that you’re not supposed to show up, step up to that exact water and begin fishing that hole.Thanks,Kevin Even after suggesting that I was just planning on hitting that water, these two pol...
I used these maybe 3 times within the last 2 years. New they go for around $150. Why get new ones? These are as good as new, and can be had for $75.The RodMounts Sumo Fishing Rod Carrier offers the ultimate in versatility and performance for transporting rods of all types, far exceeding anything else on t...
Anybody care to chime in on how the fishing has been the last couple of days? Are the Flows at their summer level yet? I looked at the charts but those things can be quite unreliable.
a friend said he saw a dog running around access 4/5 did anyone else see him today , i am bringing a bag of food and a bowl for him tomorrow . anyone else see him ?
I caught a fish yesterday for maybe the third time. He came in really fast and I realized that I knew this guy. I let him loose as fast as I could ( thank Hod for barbless hooks ) , but it left me with a hollow feeling. I don't mind annoying the trout, but I'm not into abuse. Have any of you encountered the same si...
I've read the language of it but most of it seems insignificant vs the amendments made since 1968. Besides most winery owners say early nineties was too late to put in vineyard /winery on a slope.
Creative Sports fly shop in Pleasant Hill, is in danger of closing , thanks to last year's heavy snowfall and people buying their stuff off the Internet. So GO BUY some stuff there. I'm talking to all of the people in the Walnut Creek Lafayette (sp.) area. yeah, you might save 20.00 on new waders but wha...

But it would be really be nice to have a plac...
