Poked around but did not fish, counted 12 cars on the way to the dam, on a Thursday! Enjoy the view. -- Edited by nclay on Thursday 8th of November 2018 10:02:16 AM
I have been researching the technique, but I am still not sure if I should give it a shot. The rod I will be using is a 9‘ 5 weight and I am concerned I won’t be able to effectively cover water that is too far away to reach. Also, with the fast, deep runs, I am afraid the only way to get my fly down is with a big heavy...

When I was seven or eight years old, my parents planned a family trip to Yellowstone National Park. Already a fishing nut by then, I quickly found out that fly fishing was the way to catch trout there. I needed a fly rod to use on the trip. I begged my mother all summer long for something, anything. Eventua...
This qualifies as a rant, but I'm looking for suggestions. I've been trout fishing for a long time and no matter what I do my leader material gets tangled. I've tried any number of leader material holders and at some point my leader material turned into a tangled mess. Are any of you using anything th...
Get to the creek at 5: 30, suit up and head on down. By 7;30 , the 1'st person showed up. By 9:00, there were two guys fishing across from me. By 10:00 there were the two guys across from me, one directly above me, three down about a hundred yards and three up in the first pool with more headed down from the park...

Looking for anyone that wants to rideshare, split gas & maybe hotel for swinging flies for steelhead. Looking at making trips to the Trinity (or other rivers) starting the weekend of the 27th. Flows are being pumped up on the trinity to flush the system with cold water. This should start pulling m...
My last 2 trips have come up short, and I need some help/tips. I fished a 9ft 4x tapered leader and put on my first fly(wolly bugger or large nymph for weight). I put 2-3 small split shots above the first fly. I tied 12 inches of 5x to the bend of the hook and tied on a 2nd very small fly (wd 40, PT, etc). I used a wh...

Hey folks, im looking to do a day trip down to the eastern sierras on Tuesday 6/26. I would probably would want to leave early since it will take a few hours to get down there (3-4am). I am still new to fly fishing so you wouldn’t have to worry about me outfishing you. I’ve never fished this area or navigate...

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!
