Richard, Alastair, and I fished access #5 after the Putah class today. It was good fun, and I snapped some pictures of some small fish these guys were catching. Maybe this photos will help PCT's efforts with the DFG. Also included: evidence of a beaver near access #3!
Ive been hitting up the pit the last few weeks. went camping last weekend and the weekend before at deer creek campground with my cousin and had a blast both times! we caught a bunch of fish big and small. first trip the best was an 18 inch bow and a bunch of other ones in the 12-15 inch range. i would post pics...
I just got back from a family reunion over in breckenridge colorado and managed to find some time to go fishing. i fished the blue river in the town of breckenridge and below dillon reservoir where the big boys thrive. In town and below it i got into some browns but no rainbows. the highlight of the in town...
Saturday was hot, and the creek was looking good. We did manage to catch a few small fish on mayfly patterns, but nothing bigger than 12". I did see one guy hook into a large fish above the bridge, but it threw the hook. Apparently he had landed a fish over 20" earlier in the day. I tend to fish e...
I was reading about the environmental work Patagonia does and discovered that they give out grants to environmental organizations with a 501(c)(3) status. Given their work with the World Trout Initiative, I think that PCT could get some grant money for a specific project. It may be worth investiga...
At the day on the PCT day on the Yuba trip I nearly took a dive headfirst into a deep pool because the front bit of felt split apart from my boot, forming a dangerous rock-catching flap. Otter saw me (or maybe just heard me) land in 4 feet of water from a rock on shore after nearly taking a swim. I think I still o...

Fished for about 7 hours on the Truckee on Father's Day. The fishing was solid but not spectacular. I think that the fishing is really going to turn on soon though becuase there are a ton of hatching insects. Mayflies were all over the river yesterday. Most of my fish were caught on mayflies. Green Drake...

Keep your indicator floating drag free on the surface. If you're fishing in 12 inches of water, yes this is true. In water knee deep and beyond, you're blowing the presentation by having the indicator drift with the film. Because of friction exerted by the substrate, water just above the streambed is...
I wasn't able to make up to the Truckee due to my anniversary on friday. I was looking forward to fishing the LT because my last trip up there in Nov with Brian an Eric I got skunked while they both hammered the fish. So for Fathers day, I honor my dad by going fishing. I started out on some go to places that al...
Took my nephews out to the creek in Winters and found a beautiful little spot with clear water, gravel and sand bottom and riffles. I was totally surprised when they pulled out a couple trout, one on a spinner and another in deep slow water on a bass lure. An 11 incher and a 13 incher. Any of you guys ever...

It also mentioned several local fishing groups will be participating. Steve, if PCT isn't involved already,I thought you might be able to piggyback and we could...

Summary: I caught one fish, very small( the most beautiful fish I've ever se...

Does anyone have any suggestions of places we could do this? We wouldn't have to be able to drive right to the lake/stream, but if we could fin...
