Dr. Bombay, Packrat and myself made another impromptu dash up to the Yuba on Saturday. We chased the last of the rain on the way up. It was overcast and misty in the morning . . . perfect conditions. The river was even lower than 10 days ago if you can believe that. The rain did not put any color into the ri...

African Angler, Packrat, Brian Clemns and I all felt a sudden illness coming on and decided to take a day from work and recuperate on the Lower Yuba yesterday. It was a good decision, because despite the weather forcasts, it ended up being a nice day. Just as well, the weather forcast kept all of the si...

Sorry it has taken me a while to post...Sad thing is though I hear the Trinity is fishing really well and I am sick So won't be able till after I geet back late Jan. Anyway for those o...
I ponied up for some Sharkskin line last week and got to toss it a lot on the Yuba last week. Once you get used to the annoying noise, it does cast better and really floats well. I didn't think it was so far superior over other lines I've used in the past, but I'm interested to see how it maintains its' boyan...
Went to Putah hooked up two Rainbows landed one it was about 26 inches it was great i hooked it and got on the other side of the creek and ran up stream and went head first like i was sliding into a base lol keeping my rod tip up and the line tight bounced up quickly fish was still there got it in my Dad was with m...
Just wanted to hear peoples predictions on how they think putah will be fishing in the coming years since we have the new regs? Will we see a dramatic improvement in the fishing or is it going to be a slow process? Will there be more or less fisherman fishing putah now? Will putah ever be planted again?...
I was on the creek yesterday and as nice as the new regs are, all of the old regs are still posted. I was thinking perhaps it would be nice if we could somehow partner up with DFG to get the old regs taken down and post the new regs. You can't really blame somebody for not knowing the new regs if the old regs are s...
I have a st croix imperial 9ft 5wt 4pc that i am selling do to a change in the imperials action. used to be a medium action rod, now they have it as a fast action rod. i am not a big fan of fast action rods so gonna have to say bye bye. originally pd 150 for the rod when i first bought it, and thats what i am asking for...
long story short, my simms freestones completely fell apart on me. what can i say i am hard on my equipment. here is the jist of it. simms cant fix them and wont replace them, but they are willing to hook me up with a 40% discount. i recently read ifish's post about the new vibram soles and think i am going tha...
I finally got the xmas present finished. We tested her at the clean up and now she is ready to fish. I am cleaning out the garage and have the plans and jig for building this pram FREE. (925) 209-5148 This is the ame plan of the one at the Putah Creek Fundraiser last year. -- Edited by Black Cloud on Friday 21...
The font size on this board is so small I can hardly read it. It changed a couple of months ago to a 12pt. Is this my computer only, a settings change on my end or something only managed by Kieth. I spend less and less time on here due to the font size. I have looked around but cant find any user settings to m...
so sent my st croix imperial back to the shop to get fixed, a guy just called me asking if i want to upgrade. told him i am very happy with the medium action of the imperial. go figure he comes back as says that imperial rods are no longer medium action rods, they are now fast action rods. and that if u want a rod...
Broke my rod the other day about 4 inches from the tip. Is there anything i can do about fixing it or anyone that knows of a place that can fix it? thanks for the help

What brand off thread do you preffere for basic fly's in the 16 to 20 size range. I've been using danville but have recently found uni-thread to be a much better thread. I also had been tying most often with 6/0 but have found that 8/0 works better for most of my applications.
Hi everyone stopped at that little store right next to the lake that's right at the beginning of the creek and seen that they have some gear they are caring like some nice net's and backpacks that go in the front don't know what you call them but the net's were like $24.00 and the backpacks were about the sa...

So I hooked up a real fighter Friday. As soon as I set the hook I could see it's silver flashes as it gave me some nasty head shakes. I was surprised to see the color of this guy once I got it closer. It went 16"-17" and was a beautiful silver and green with a big pink stripe. I'm assuming that...
Well Me and a buddy were fishing the Napa River today and the fishing was horrible, Freezing outside which made for a goose egg. Came across this goose though which had 30lb mono rat nested and tangeled in her wings and around her neck with about a foot of the nest dragging behind her in the water. My...
Cody great idea. I'll start another one. All photos are in Calif 1- Name this body of water2-Name this river3-Name this location and body of water4-Name this river5-Name this location and mountain6-Name this river7-Name this valley and location
Since the winter spawn is on, I am suggesting that people just write in how the fishing trip was. Many of the regulars have figured this out. It will be somewhat informative, but will not give out locations, and will not have photos of locations. If any photos are posted they should just be a close up o...
