Hey all, I'm heading out to the Truckee and the Little Truckee. I still consider myself a rookie and I always get nervous that I'm gonna get skunked on new water. I've looked at a few other posts, but are there any other tips you guys have out there, such as tippet sizes, methods etc.?
Hey Guys, I dont get it? DFG knows that they cant even come close to supporting the fishing pressure at Putah without stocking it on a regular basis. I drove up to vacaville, got a hotel room thinking it would be great most of the weekend. Wake up call... The woman at Pardesha Market said that DFG has not st...
My next stop was the Bitterroot River in Missoula, Montana. We got on the river at 8:00 am due to the hot weather and fished until after 7:00 pm. The main river wasn't fishing well at all so we walked up a couple of spring creeks stalking brown trout that were hanging out in the cool clear water. It was real...
Today I began my summer road trip. My first stop is the Columbia River in Castlegar, British Columbia. I fished with Chris Dawson (a fly fishing author) who is also a Guide with Dave Brown Outfitters of http://www.davebrownoutfitters.com This is an enormous river with strong currents which grows...
Two weeks ago I purchased my first vise, A real cheap contraption that one actually had to give it a good look to know it was even a fly tying vise. Well the jaws are now completely toast, There all spread open and bent and don't hold a hook. Very frustrating to say the least. So I ponyed up and got a regal rota...

Hey Guys, I work at Leland Fly Fishing Ranch in Sonoma and wanted to share the video with you. The same Leland as in the shop in San Francisco. Very cool place! Awesome concept. We'll be focusing on Steelhead fishing as the season heats up, or cools down, as it were. Have some plans in the works for seminar...

The man in the gray suit is in the house! Check this out (courtesy of the Drake): A Great White shark, about 6-feet long and estimated at 150-pounds, was caught and released by a fly-fisherman off La Jolla , Calif, on Friday. ( 7/17/09 ) It is believed to be the first Great White ever taken off the Californ...
Returned today from a 10 day adventure to the Mammoth lakes area. The dry fly fishing was of nearly epic proportions. Started off on McGee creek wich is very near the upper owens and really is just a mini version of the owens at benton crossing, The fishing there was one of the best days i have ever had flyf...
Went to Yellowstone last week and hooked up on some browns. Nice peaceful part of the river next to the madison campground. Last couple of pictures are at the Green River at the flaming river gorge.
Well, over the 4th I spent some time on the NF yuba and my wife came along for a few hours. The whole time she was paranoid of mountain lions, bears, rattlers, etc. Any one out there ever had an "encounter with nature"? Any of you bring along protection of any kind? A machete, Rambo knife, m...
Here are a few pics from Goodyear creek and the Truckee. The only thing I caught on the Truckee were some of those planters, so no pictures. Did see this bear upstream from the Glenshire bridge. Pretty cool he was heading for a fellow fly fisher right on the trail, so I started making some noise and h...
Was checking out the Topo's, has anyone tried any of the tributaries to the Stanislaus such as Skull Creek, Griswold Creek, Big or Little Rattlesnake Creek, Soap Creek, Knight Creek? Do they have enough water to make it worth the trip?
Anyone have any good locations for the truckee. Im going there tomorrow for the whole weekend. Any tips on locations on the river would be great. Especially for some brownies.
Fished Putah for the first time today. Beautiful and fun place to fish. Didn't see anybody else out there. I have no idea where the good spots are so I spent a lot of the day exploring. Caught a lot of fish but most were under 6 inches. Here's a pic of my biggest one. Impressive huh? Well, I'm sure I'll b...

I've suddenly found myself with a free weekend so I'm planning on grabbing the fly rod and heading up to North Fork Stan. Has anyone been to Sand Flat Campground? Was considering camping there and fishing the stan and maybe hiking up Highland Creek a ways. Not sure if this creek is messed up by Spice...
