Here are some pics from a trip that Otter and I took to Milton Lake this past weekend. The fishing was slow but we still had fun. Gotta love these browns, they really know how to tug.
I had the oppurtunity to visit alot of different waters on my recent eastern sierra trip and everywhere you go mudsnail warnings are posted and most waters seem to be mudsnail positive. The hot creek hatchery even has a huge sighn that reads absolutly no waders, or hip boots aloud on the premises, took...
I'm driving up to Oregon for a bike race on Sunday and taking Monday & Tuesday off for some fly fishing on the way back, my 4 month pregnant wife will be with me and she's just getting into fly fishing.??Anyone have?any recommendations for reasonably accessible waters anywhere along route 5 or eas...
Went out to the creek for a mid day slaughter...After all the last few times I went out I had them jumping in my net...Not the case today.I did the same loop at #5 and used most of the same flys....I could only get one here and there.I hit 2 runs that got me into more than one fish but I could not get them to stay o...
Not really a report but just currious to see what peoples thoughts and experiences have been.? I keep hearing lately about how you shouldnt fish during the middle of the day in the valley this time of the year, about how its too hot, and the fishing is no good unless its early or late, etc........? Althou...
My brother and I just got back from a 3-day trip to the lake.? The fishing was okay, not hot and not poor.? We caught 16 fish over the 3 days.? For those of you who don't know, Manzanita lake is at the entrance to Lassen Park.? Several years ago it used to produce some quality fishing.? The average fish was 15...
So, one other reason I love Putah is the wild blackberries.? Man are they good right now.? As I got to the creek, flygirl was hiking out with a giant ziploc full of them.? I was quite jealous! anyway, we chatted for a while and agreed to meet up for some evening fishing sometime soon. Headed down and had the...
Got out to the creek Sunday evening around 5:00 PM.? There were a few mayflies in the air, but it was pretty windy.? Tied on? my typical tightline rig for my usual access 5 loop (similar to MX-19's access 5 loop I'm sure), and had at it. Well, I got two decent fish to hand (12-14 inches) in one pool, and then s...
Well i am back at EZ Auto Solutions once again. If you need a car truck mini van or suv now is your time to buy. We have now teamed up with Paul Blanco Chevy (the original fresh start program) and have the Fresh Start Program running full force (and its better than ever). We have over 40 Banks at our disposal f...
I've been lurking this board for awhile, and I have finally decided to open a membership.? I'm AbelBoy.? I fly fish like all of you.? I have never fished Putah, but from what I read, it's great water.? One of my friends fishes it quite a bit, so I'll be fishing it with him. I usually fish to the north and east...
Not so sure I'd want to fish across the puddle--my waders are dirty, hat soiled with sweat, shirt faded and torn, a vest that only gets "a washing" when I mistakenly take a wrong step, a clear conscious to fish downstream, and no fear of tying on an attractor.? Check out the heated controvers...
Fished the MFF over Father's Day weekend and had a blast. Not very many BIG fish but lots of average wild fish. The evening hatch of caddis was a blast tons of bugs coming off the water and many fish rising to them. Hiked down below Nelson Creek about a mile missed one really nice fish that snapped me off. To...
The fishing on the creek has been pretty good ..Walked the normal loop at #5 yesterday and pulled fish from every spot ,but one.The smaller fish are everywhere and the bigger guys are playing hide and seek.I found a small section of water that has been holding browns, and I found another spot on wed.I ha...

So, I will be fishing with my rod and reel in salt water, and I just have the normal floating line that came on the reel. In general, will all fly rods and reels work for both salt and freshwater, or are they made specifically for one? I will most likely be fishing every day with it, and it will be fished in sal...
I had a great day Saturday with a few friends on our annual trek in Yosemite. As usual, they continued along the trail to Half Dome while I fished for a few hours along the Merced and a tributary.? Unfortunately, this year's trip was scheduled earlier in the season rather than later in July or early Augus...
Since I plan to fish some spring creeks in a few weeks I was curious, What advice would one give to someone that has never tried this ? I figured 7x and dry's will be on the menu. I guess the question would be this, Is a spring creek really that much tougher then your average sierra freestone river, or tailwa...
I am pretty sure I will be going tommorow and saturday. I will be camping on the resort side, so I will be fishing that area of the river. Haven't been to Putah in days! Got bit by the bass bug and have been concentrating on them for awhile. I have caught some pigs too! Anyways, what has been working lately? I...
I read in another post that Putah is not what would be considered a good place for a beginning fly fisher. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place that would be a better learning water for a beginner?
Hey everyone,
This summer i am going on a one week rafting trip down the grand canyon's Colorado River and I know that there is great fishing down there so if anybody knows anything about the fishing down there, rigs flies and other stuff, id like to know. I am probably a little early asking about this bu...
are there any websites or past threads that give specific times for planting fish for any rivers or streams ???.....so i can avoid em planters are no fun :(
I just got back from a trip with my wife to Hat creek and while the fishing was slow, I did manage to get caught my first brook trout.? It actually occured on thursday evening about an hour after my wife and I arrived at camp.? Caught it while swinging a soft hackle pea**** fly.? The strike came at the very la...
I just moved to citrus heights and was wondering if there were any good fly shops around. I went to keine's fly shop but they didn't help too much with any trout rivers. Any suggestion's would help.
Has anyone fished Quarry with float or off shore. Just thinking about heading out there for an afternoon, i know its stocked fish but just wondering if anyone give shoot over some helpful advise. thanks
