?One thing i've noticed this year, at least on the Yuba.....Pretty darn good fall run, one of the better one's ive seen (although i hear that the feather had a down year, which is odd considering the yuba was probably up as far as counts go). ? One of the WORST winter runs i have seen, didn't see more than a d...
There are two new reports on the CALTROUT website (www.caltrout.org) addressing the crisis occurring within the species and populations of our native fish. They can be downloaded from the website. The major report is authored by Dr. Peter Moyle of UC Davis; both are well worth the look.

I have been hitting the creek once or twice a week for the last couple of months, but haven't had no where near the results some of you have written about. I thought sooner or later I would see some of these pigs, so I continued to put in the time and pay my dues. Today was the day! I ran across some nice size fis...

I've been an east coast small stream fly fisher for years and want to get back into fly fishing after having moved to the SfFBay area a few years ago. I thought I'd like to try surf casting for Surf perch, around the Santa Cruz, Monterey areas. What's the time of year when these are catchable? thanks!

If you have any information on who is doing this please send PM to me. As a reminder, Solano County Water Agency is co...
I was just wondering what you guys thought about rivers that allow bait fishing, but are catch and release only. Why would DFG allow bait fishing if the fisherman can't keep any? The steelhead are gonna swallow the bait and now after having a hook remover down their throat they're gonna be released bac...
I fished the Russian river today from Monte Rio down to Cassinis.? The water was very low and clear.? A few fish were spotted and not one person on that part of the river hooked up. It was a great day of fishing minus the fish.? The River needs more water and some color.
