I'm new to the board and read the threads about baitfishing out of season and posting signs with interest. The current regs have been in place for at least 30+years while the usage of the creek has increased a lot. I personally would like to see zero limit for the whole stretch from dam to dam year rou...
GOTCHA! Well I thought with all this madness going on right now, i would lighten up the mood a little bit through a cheesy little contest. So, this is how it works: I post 6 pictures with a question corresponding to each one. First peron to get them all right get a Simms ball cap and maybe a few flies. Send re...
While waiting for the compulsory potatoes to cook this evening, I was passing the time by thumbing through the pages of the Californian Departments of Fish and Game rules and regulations for freshwater sport fishing and I came across this exciting piece of literature in the back of the leaflet.

Our co-founder, Chairman and President, Dr. Charrick Chang, has provided a glimpse of the origins of the quest for a reg change that began in April 2007: http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=65954&p=3&topicID=11248833 We have Gary's vision, and that of Bono who did a lot o...
What do you guys use to cut wire close to the body (say on a copper john)? I've been using my Dr. Slick scissors and (as I expected) it's not too great for them. Wire cutters don't work for the close up work. Vince

Exxective January 10th, 2010, you will no longer be required to purchase the Bay/ Delta Enhancement Stamp!!!! The DF&G is discontinuing the entire program which was funded by revenue which the stamp generated. So, a few more bucks in the pocket for 2010. All of you can afford to buy me an addit...
Hopefully at this time tommorrow, we will have found out if the new proposed regs change for Putah has passed. The Fish and Game Commission is slated to announce it's decision at tommorrow's meeting!!!! Keep your fingers crossed. Bob
I'm looking for a couple of things. I'd like buy a 9'6" 7 weight rod for the American and the Feather. I have a reel to match it up to. My skills are intermediate at best. Also I'd like to try muzzleloader for deer. Anyone have either of these items they might be interested in selling? Randy West
caught my first delta striper this afternoon my 4 weight fly rod messing around trying to catch some bait.. ill let my picture do the talking 9.2# on a 6# leader, took a good 5-10 min to get her in
I have been working with DF&G Enforcement Division officers with respect to Putah Creek. I am happy to say that the work which is being done by Putah Creek Trout and board members does not go unnoticed by the DF&G staff. The enforcement division of DF&G is asking all people fishing Putah...
Hey Everyone- RGLoft & I have been wearing regular "everyday" thermals under our waders for awhile but now that winter has set in and the H2O is so much colder AND we're going to other places to fish, it is clear we need something a little more high-tech....I've seen a couple different t...
I just wanna clear my name... I was not the person who logged in as BCIAIF nor did I write on the Putah trout box. I swear on my life! Apparently some people have told Brian it was probably me... Don't worry, he didn't tell me who.
HelloI have a trip booked on the Mothership in March of 2010. I am unable to go on this trip and am looking for someone to take my place. The trip is March 19-29I will discuss the costs if you are interested. This is the best deal you can get for sal****er flyfishing. 9 days all expenses included and a ton o...

Hit the Trinity on Wednesday with Alastair. Fishing was beyond slow, we only saw two fish . Not many people on the water and the ones we talked to reported no fish. But it was a steelhead weather day and we were on the T. James
Anyone want to fish on Friday after Thanksgiving? I'll be at the in-laws for Thanksgiving and already got the fishing pass from the wife to get out on the water. Truckee was also an idea but I think there is a forecast for heavy snow on Friday. Let me know.....
What are you guys using? I'm in the market for a new pair after running over my Smith Guide Series while in Bridgeport. I liked the lenses on the Smiths but they were pretty close to my face and my eyelashes would rub the lense. Looking for suggestions on replacements. It was getting dark so I moved my glas...
My nephew is ready for is first fly fishing rod after 2 years of borrowing one of mine. I'm going in with his parents to combine funds for a good rod. I'm thinking medium-flex graphite rod 8 1/2' 5 wt with floating line, good enough to have a lifetime-ish guarantee in case it brakes, but not so expensive...
Just another reminder that Saturday, November 21st is another Putah Creek cleanup day . . . MArk your calendars!!!!!!! The creek looked cleaner than normal the the other day, so I'm guessing that actual necessary cleanup time will be less than the past. I propose that we get a good crew out there, f...
Well alastair called me up a few days back and said brian lets go fishing, and who am i to say no. Wanted to take him to the Middle fork american, and was going to until the night before, when i found out that the flows have been changing again for rafting. last time i fished it, it was at 250 for over a month. oh...
I have a simms guide jacket in an XL thats a bit too big for me, would anybody consider trading my XL for a large. Preferably another simms jacket but I might consider others. The jacket has only been used one day, it's basically brand new. I will post pics later. Thanks, Cody
I am trying to head to the Trinity tomorrow PM to fish all day Wednesday and return Wednesday night. I will sort out the ride and gas etc. just prefer fishing with other people.....especially those the that have fished for Steelhead before ( Not a requirement though!!) PM me ASAP if you are interested i...
I fished from 1 to 2 miles below the bridge today from 8:30am to 1:00 pm. Did not land, hook, or see a fish all day. I fished the same areas a couple of weeks ago and had one fish on. It seems to me the fish population is way down from what it used to be a few years ago. I have 40 years FF'ing experience includi...
