Hi all, Just found this forum. I just moved to Davis (to finish my Ph.D. at UCD) last year but have not been able to wet a hook since then due to my research obligations down in Panama for the past 8 months.? I don't want to get in anyone else's way on the creek, but I'm wondering if there are recommendations f...

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....

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.

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...

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...
