I've been busy! I just listened to a pod cast about old school wet flies and I was inspired to tie some for the upcoming Truckee bash...along with a few others. olive soft hacke, natural soft hackle, tan RS2, grey RS2, Burk bottom roller, Burk HBI, rubber leg hares ear, JT's drowned midge, natural birds...

fished the silver fork for two days this past weekend. Water is high and a bit off color but theres enough fishable water to keep one busy. Fishing was pretty slow, Maybe a dozen or so very small guys all weekend, Nothin over 10 inches. Didn't get much fishing in on saturday as a big thunderstorm came thro...
I was working in Redding last week and decided to hit a few rivers. Went to the Upper sac after work on Thursday and got skunked. Fished a few spots around Conant and only hooked one fish. It proceeded to snap my dry fly off with no problem. Didn't see many fish rising. River is fairly high for this ti...

Got out to the?creek today around 1:30, thinking that not many folks would actually be fishing on Mem. day and was right about that. Started at access 5, noticing that someone had hung a snake (presumably a rattler) from the fence under the tree by the road.? It was quite decomposed, but I don't think pe...
With all these crazy flows I'm starting to go crazy.? Time to fish some smaller streams/creeks and catch some brownies.? Anyone been up there yet this year?? I can't find any flow info, wonder what they're releasing from the lake.
Hey guys Im going to Santa Rosa tomorrow and am going to check out the russian river near Forestville Ive been told theres no steelhead in the river is that accurate if there is none what about trout .or shad I could use some advice I.E flys I don,t to be throwing the wrong flys
So I tied up a few micro mayflies today, but as I was tying them up I realized that there is little differences between them and say a PT nymph.? So my question is why use one over the other??
This section has been a little slow recently, so here's my addition: If you've been thinking about buying one of these new well designed boxes... don't. I've always battled with fly boxes... and found each has its problems. Foam tears, and causes rust; compartment boxes lose flies when there is wind...
?Got my box of seventeen(17!) Putah Creek specials( deemed by those doing the tying) and I've got to say...Outstanding, gentlemen! Although mine will probably never get wet (I'll probably use them as a tying template) I am so happy to own 'em. And as proud as I am to have 'em,?pride belongs to those who...
Has anyone else noticed that dates of posts are no longer the time since the post, but instead the absolute date of the post? This is making it hard to see what's new on the forum. Vince

Was at the creek yesterday for a few hours picking up trash and fishing. I found lots of fun stuff: big red ball with a garden hose anchored to it, a beach ball, a tennis ball, 2 float mats, an uneaten lunch with a baggie in it that contained a lighter and a cigar, plastic cups, water bottles, plastic ziploc...
On Sunday, June 14th, I'll be headed home to Bishop, but along the way, I was thinking of fishing a river, staying in a hotel/motel for the night, and then fishing the next day on the way to Bishop. To give you a better idea of location, here's the highway routes ( 80E to 50, 50 to 88/89, 88 to 395). What I ask f...
Headed up to Truckee for the Memorial Day weekend and got in a good dose of time on the water.? The Truckee is coming into shape very nicely.? It is a little high but very fishable.? Had a nice day on the Truckee.? Landed a number of fish on dry flies, nothing huge, but decent size. When we were on the Truckee...
Me and my dad went down there this weekend, just looking for a place to get going this year. So, we started around 7:30 just below the fish hatchery, and had a few 10-12 in. on the line but couldn't bring them in. We fished till dark and called it a day. Next day we went down and dropped in, in our 2- seater kaya...
Cruised up to the feather river this weekend ....I convinced Emerger to join me so I would have someone to blame if the fishing was poor.Good old Emerger wasted no time and hooked up on a few nice steelies right off the bat.At this point I was now calling him farmer....Moved to the next spot and started to...

For those of you that head to Putah from the East... the Winters PD is really hitting speeders hard on 128 heading East. I was out last week with a first time fly fisher (damn high flows skunked us) and she got a speeding ticket coming out of Winters 14 mph over the limit. Today I was heading back home (one ho...
I will be in Ione, CA on a Friday for work, so I figured I would sleep in my car or something and fish on Saturday.? I was thinking the Stanislaus.? I will be solo and wading, so I figured the upper.? Any suggestions would be great.? Fies, locations, anything would help.? Open to any other waters in the area...
Just a few shots of what I deem a great trip. This was after Easter on my way down the eastern slope to Las Vegas. Caught more but, these 2 are my faves. The Owens River Upper and Lower gave me much reason to continue!!!!!! Flash Backs are the thing.
