I found a pod of big fish in some very fast water last weekend.? The first fish took off like a rocket and spit the hook.? The second one was landed.? From then on it was broken tippets and spit hooks.? I even switched to 4x tippet and they were snapping it like butter.? I have never used 3x on putah, but I may h...

Decided to give the Yuba a rest and hit up the East Fork of the Carson with JMO32 this past weekend.? Tried throwing october caddis patterns early, but not much happening.? JMO32 stuck it to them pretty well nymphing early with a red copper john.? Around 9:30 a truly epic trico hatch happened, they were...
Hello fellow anglers. I am new to Fly Fishing and have done some research and am trying to find the best place to go for my first time out. I am starting out with a 5wt set up and I am targeting trout. Putah Creek is close as I live in the South Bay, but I have also heard about the Stan. River. I am still trying to f...

Hey I was wondering if anyone owns or has casted one of the sage FLi fly rods. I am looking to buy a new 3 weight and I found one on sale and was wondering if it was worth buying. Let me know if you have any opinions or whatever.
Thanks,
Dan
Here's a report written by my dad from our recent AK trip.? Hope you all enjoy. ------ Chris and I did our annual September Alaska excursion up to the Kenai Peninsula (KP) from 2-14 September and the fishing was very good. As usual, we flew up to Anchorage and rented an RV, then drove down to the KP. After p...

Sorry guys, been out of the loop for awhile now.? Over the last couple weeks I have flies from Matt, Brian Clemens, JT and today Otters came.? Not sure who is left, maybe just DTP?? I'll look at my list when I get home but he may be the last one.? Great work guys.
In light of posts concerning cars being thrashed while parked streamside, I was pleasantly surprised to find my IM reel on the windshield wiper after returning from a long Saturday afternoon fishing below Beardsley.? Somehow, my reel must have fallen out of my float tube's storage pocket when I car...

Hi,
I'm new to fly fishing and live in the bay area. What would be some good lakes or streams to fish around silicon valley? Also, I have researched about Putah Creek, and if I were to go there, where would be a good place to start and what would be some good flies to have there?
Thanks!
Hey. I was wondering if anyone wants to go fish the yuba some time this sprig vacation. I live in the walnut creek area so if any anglers want to fish, id be up for it.
Some of the characteristics of the trout population that DFG reviews in the determination of the suitability of a stream for inclusion in the Wild Trout program are the numbers, age and size distribution of the resident wild trout. They collect this data by angler surveys, creel counts, and fish cou...
Hi, I was just wondering if there are any fish in the los gatos creek to be caught. I went to look around yesterday a few miles away from the dam of Lexington Reservoir, downstream, and only saw small fish. Has anyone heard of any fish there, and if yes, what type? Thanks! -- Edited by seabass at 13:29, 2008...
With a very very heavy heart I am sorry to anounce that a good friend of mine and an advocate of Putah creek has passed away.Gordon and his wife were involved in a flash flood in Utah and both perished, the friends and guides that were with them were caught as well but managed to survive.Gordon was one of th...
I just noticed that Cabela's fly catalog advertises a William Joseph product called the "Mosquito Annoyer" for $9.95. Its supposed to repel these pesky pests by emitting a sound that mimics that of the male on the hunt for you know what. But she's pregnant and has no interest so she flies aw...
MX - you may have been in there a month, but you didn't do a good job of tiring the fish out.? In 2 hours or so, I just killed it today. All fat natives today.? 13-15 inches average.? Nothing bigger than that - but man are those fish zippy.? Couple I hooked did 360s around me hopping out of the water the whole ti...
The fish were hungery today... had about 20 grabs.?12 came unbuttoned and 8 to hand. all about 8 to 12 inches.? You could see them stacked up in pods of 6 to 8 even saw one monster which almost looked like a salmon.? He was scarred up and as long as my arm but didnt rise once or even look at my flys. PT's as Princ...
It was second day on putah. I got to the bridge at around 8:00 and it was pretty packed. I managed to land a few stockers, but then i moved down stream to see if i could catch some wild fish. there i fished some deep pools and caught about 8 fish in a couple hours, all wild 8-12 in. Then i moved down to the split wh...
It seemed to me that last year about this time there was a huge dragon fly hatch....if you have dragon fly nymph patern it might be a good time to try it out....
Fished the creek on Saturday and hooked 4 with none to hand...little too much horsing around. They seem to still like micro mays, zebras, red copper johns, and my JW creations. Not bad for a couple hours of work. JW.
Hi everyone, finally made it up to Putah for a few hours on Sun morning and had a great time - no fish but learned a lot! Stopped at #5 first and after looking at the water talked with a couple of guys 'also on their first time time?on the creek'?who like 'FlyFishingJunkie',?suggested that up by the bridge...
Got out about 3:30 PM and tight lined my way up and around the split.? Landed a few fish, but all small. Switched to indicator nymphing with a prince nymph and red copper john and hooked two nice fish right away. Moved on and had no luck for about 30 minutes, then went up stream toward number 4, nymphing the...
Like MX19 yesterday, went to the creek with a friend at Midday today. Was slow, although we both lost a few small (first year) fish using bead head may fly patterns. As we were about to leave, Mike caught a 5" brown trout with nice bright red spots-the first juvenile I've ever seen on the creek. We we...
Last Saturday I began my 5-week fly fishing road trip. I'm beginning in British Columbia and then Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Home. My first stop was Castlegar, British Columbia where I fished the Columbia River with Chris Dawson of Dave Brown Outfitters. We fished two different sections of the Col...
