The boxes are on posts at both Dam parking lots near the 128 bridge, at the Access #5 parking area, and just be...

Everytime the river is low, I like to cross it and fish from the canyone creek resort side because it is cleared. The past two times I have done this the owner said he would call the sherrif on me. I was standing not 3 feet from the waterline. Is this stil considered private property. I honestly think they a...
Had a great day yesterday fishing the overlooked fast water with my g.f. A lot of people were out - not encouraging. I'll switch to the American if it gets any more crowded. Lots of bait guys, mostly polite, saw some fish being released. 6 to hand 16-18" and that many LDR's. Took a stomach (pump)?sa...

Today was my first visit since March. I have been striper fishing in the bay and delta using lures and a baitcaster.
At the creek it was a nice outing although I was very rusty. Took me awhile to get back into the groove as I was snagging and loosing gear here and there. Finally hooked one with a pheasant t...

?? Had a long night so didn't get out to the creek until 3 today. Went with a buddy who hadn't fished for many years so I thought above the bridge would be a good place to start. Wrong. It was packed. I have never seen so many fish being taken from one place at one time. I heard they just planted so im sure that is...
As its getting late in the season and i'm getting rather low on flys among other things so i thought I'd stop by quickly and take a look at pardehsa market on my way to putah this past weekend as I knew they had some fly's. I was pretty impressed, theres a little sign that says Bono's fly's and nice fly's they...
Hmm, planters.? Imagine for a moment that space aliens visited the earth and decided?there weren't enough humans around so they captured a few humans and started breeding them in cages.? Every couple of weeks they would?gather up a load and drop?off hundreds or thousands at some of their favorite s...

Hi all, Just found this forum.

Hi guys...I will be staying at the?Tenaya Lodge...near Yosemite...for a couple of days.? I want to fish while I'm there, but have never been to the area before.? I think Bass Lake is nearby, but would rather fish the creeks or rivers.? Any suggestions?? Thanks!
Tired of flinging nymphs? Try a spent mayfly in the evenings. If you see trout sipping on bugs, they are usually sipping BWos in the evening. Tie on an olive BWO with spent wings and drift it just below the surface. Hold on for the big swirl, and the ensuing battle.

I decided to get to a spot today, no matter how wet I had to get to make it. I got wet. I also had the best day on Putah I've had since last fall. In 2 and a half hours, I must have hooked 30-40 fish.? Landed about half.? Average size was about 13 inches.? Had several pigs on, but in fast water they are hard to land....
