River for may

My girlfriend is leaving for a few days which gives me time to fish somewhere further then solano. I want to stay a couple of days. Anyone one has any idea on a river that will produce well at the begining of may?

EVERY RIVER STARTS FISHING WELL IN MAY.

lower american strippers and springers
upper american rivers for trout on drys and nymphs (depending on time of yr)
lower yuba trout trout and more trout
the truckees trout trout and more trout
lower sac trout steelies and more trout

just to name a few

you will have so many choices you wont know which one to make. seriously just watch the forums, keep an eye on the flows and fish hard. anywhere u go you will hook up.

Like Brian said, the lower american strippers make for a fun day on the river. Just make sure to bring plenty of single dollar bills.

very funny, i guess its one of those typos where the red line can't even save you. If you decide to go for those "strippers" just make sure to bring your "nymph" a game with you.

ok what did i miss. the nymph for the upper americans maybe. well its true though depending on the time of yr, you will pick up more fish on nymphs than drys, dry fly action doesnt really start pickin up until the end of june, but can get some nice hatches in may time. i think thats the typo right.


ill fix the typo, hopefully that is better. u guys crack me up

Strippers = women usually found in those old warehouse buildings near Folsom Blvd. and Auburn Blvd in Sac and Industrial Blvd. in Vegas.
Stripers = Striped Bass found in rivers, lakes, estuaries, deltas, oceans.

There is a difference.

Brian, i think what Emerger is referring to is......... stri"p"ers = a very large and ferocious game fish that fall victim to a carefully place clouser........... stri"pp'ers = a more petite, although can be large, nude and or carefully dressed form of entertainment, often falling victim to a carefully placed dollar bill smile, or as in the rap videos, a rain cloud of dollar bills.

I guess then strippers and stripers aren't so different, they both seem to feed ferociously when it "rains."

oh crap didnt even notice that i had a double ps on that, my bad. oh well, like you said, strippers or stripers, they normally wear stripes, and they get very ferocious when they get wet, or throw something shinny at them.

Fly selection will be dependent on the flows.  The flows are usually higher due to run off.

If the flows are up, I prefer big flies.  Use streamer patterns like buggers or sculpin patterns.  Or try drifting large rubber leg stoneflies.

If the flows are lower, dead drift your favorite caddis nymphs.

The graphic provided is a flow chart for the past 365 days.  Interpret it any way you choose.

whether the truckee or little truckee if you see redds go with a glo bug or bed for top fly, and a mayfly, or caddis nymph. also look out for greyish black size 16 stone flys this time of yr u will see them all over the snow. but my go to fly for these rivers is sometype of mayfly. maybe even a pink san juan. yes a pink san juan.
