Any Russian River Steel
(Preview)
OK, I admit it. I've taken up golf after quiting for 30 years and I'm hooked (pardon the pun). Anyway, I'm trying to drag my aging butt to a river to fish. I'm wondering if there are any steelhead in the Russian yet? Thanks for any info. PS--I did go up to the Truckee last week. The weather changed eve...

Any McCloud tips?
(Preview)
I may be heading up to the McCloud for this next weekend with a group from Fly Fishers of Davis. I've seen photots and it looks beautiful! I've tied a few October caddis pupas size 10 and have some big stimulators in my box. Any other tips or recent reports? Thanks...

Frankenfish
(Preview)
Back to the Yuba. Fishing was pretty slow, but I did manage to catch Frankenfish! My first Yuba fish from the Feather. I think DFG cut the fishes head open and poured Yuba water into its head. There was a vertical cut on the head just about all the way around... -- Edited by Otter on Saturday 27th of Oct...

First trip to E Carson
(Preview)
Had my first solo adventure to the E Carson. Super low water, but still fun. A lot of work as the fish were only holding in the areas with more water, a good quarter to half mile apart. And of course, that's where everyone was fishing. Was still able to manage a few nice fish in the evenings, tossing small dr...

Lower Stan report

Made it to the lower Stan last Saturday morning, found water at about 230cfs, clear, and many cooperative fish, almost all of them came on a 20-22 midge pattern. I started with a size 18, got a couple and suspected I wasn't small enough. Sizing down made a huge difference. I used a beadhead attractor...

Northfork American Large Trout Mortality
(Preview)
Its been a fairly good year on the Northfork with fish being a little bigger and more plentiful than the past three. The Mrs. and myself have had a few very good days but as usual fishing in the canyon always proves to be tricky at best. Typically, I fish a 0.5 mile section and then after I throw on the snorke...

Anyone escaping the heat this weekend?
(Preview)
I'm packing the camping gear in the car and heading for the hills where it will only be 95 degrees. Silver Fork probably, to fish in the morning and evening and find a nice plunge pool to sit in in the midday hours.

I just got back from a pretty weird few days fishing around Markleeville on the East Carson. I drove up late Thursday and set up the backpacking tent in the dark which was an adventure in itself, built a fire and cracked a cold beer. I was sawing logs by 10pm and up again at 5:00 to hit the wild trout sectio...

Odd day on the East Carson River
(Preview)
Went to the East Carson on Friday with a friend. We briefly debated fishing below Hangman's, but although he has been fly fishing for years, he is just now trying to develop deeper skills and felt uncomfortable with the sparse wild trout population down there. I had never fished there before. On the...

Missing etiquette at the Yuba?

So this made me pretty angry... I go to a favorite Yuba flat above the bridge (I'm sure you all know it) and start swinging wets with my spey rod. I usually fish from 5:30-10pm on weekdays and bump into a few anglers and miners, and swing and step down runs, swing, and step, repeat. Good spey casting pract...
