Hey Fly Tiers, I just read some interesting (and slightly depressing) research on trout vision. Trout see a wider region of the light spectrum, which includes ultraviolet (UV) light. So that olive dubbing I recently used on a blue winged olive I tied will likely have entirely different UV reflectiv...
Went fishing yesterday with my nephew who is visiting. Caught one of the strangest looking trout. Thought I share. As for the overall fishing, I only landed two hooked, a few more. Fishing came to a crashing halt when the flows increased. -- Edited by flyfishingjunkie on Thursday 19th of March 2009 07...
In the latest issue of California FlyFisher I saw a full page ad for a new hook/fly arrangement called the Moffitt Angling System.? Basically, the system is comprised of a hookless fly looped above a bare circle hook.? The promotional video demonstrates the system works, but I am wondering if this is...
I was use Google Street View to scope out some sections of Putah Creek, and I noticed their camera snapped a few photos of some fly fishers in one section (takes a few seconds to load). Is this you? -- Edited by vince on Thursday 19th of March 2009 09:09:31 PM

I know that this is a fishing forum but I'd venture to guess there are a fair number of you that either hunt or own guns as well. This one just threw me for a loop.

Today's Putah Creek Profile (PCP) is of local legend Orvis Remington-Peters. Petey, as he is known to his friends, is a PC original with close to 40 years of experience nailing those Big Monster Fish. Modest to a fault, he claims he has no special skills or techniques to account for his success: "...
Recently,? I have talked to a number of new FF on the Creek that were not aware of the NZMS infestation and danger of moving it to other waters in/on their fishing gear.

Got the bug a few weeks ago and offered to take a colleague out and give him a 'guided' trip on Putah.? We fished between 3 and the bridge (different spots) and although...

This rifle is perfect for the upcoming deer season. It is in like new condition, no scratches, only fired a few times....

Well, after rather futile morning on the yuba on tuesday (as it is still pretty dirty), i decided to change tactics and go bass fish. ?I went to a nearby lake and managed to do pretty well in a couple hours, about 5 to hand. ?All takes were extremely aggressive, it seems like the fish are already in the pre-...
