I know people are fishing Putah, but is anyone fishing anywhere else? I hit the lower Yuba 2 weeks ago for a half day and did ok. Nothing over 13" but still was good to get out and hook up some trout. This winter sucks so far. too cold to golf, no snow to go boarding................ -Ty

Two buddies and I fished the Stanislaus below Goodwin Dam yesterday, Jan. 2. Weather was decent for January, not too cold and the sky was overcast. Flows were in the 300+ zone, a little high for this time of year, but definitely fishable. Fishing was a little crowded in the prime spots, so if you're...

I have hit the Delta a few times and always get skunked. I finally caught a fish. It was slightly bigger than the fly!!! We caught some bigger fish, and had a lot of fun. A big thanks to my guide and striper king GC.

A very long time ago I wanted to fish the Russian River for Steelhead. This is the year to start. I was told to use shooting heads and swing the flies. What flies work? Can you nymph? Where is the best place to start. When do the Steelhead make there run? Thanks Dave

Made it all the way up to the Trinity only to catch a handful of smolts and a 8" brown. The big fish were definitely there, as well as huge crowds of both wading and boat anglers. Had a big fella on for a split second and lost him as soon as he rocketed upstream and into the air. There were alot of salmo...

Im headed up to Redbluff monday and tuesday. I hear the lower Sac runs though it. I have never fished it. Can anyone give me some pointers on flies and where to enter the river? I will be wadding of course. Thanks for any input.

Went for a little drive in the rain yesterday for an itch to do some fishing on my favorite river, and it paid off well. For the most of the time it was raining but there were a few breaks through out the day. I was set on this river for a certain hatch but the cold weather kept them sleeping but midges and an epi...

I pulled this report from the Redding Fly shop......Some changes have occurred over the past two years. All anglers should be aware of the new increased flows in Pit reaches 3, 4, 5. Pit 3 now has a minimum flow of 280 to 350 cfs which is up from 150 cfs. Pit 4 now has a minimum flow between 350 and 450 cfs whic...

Fished the 850 cfs flows with MX19 and Dr. Chris below the 20 bridge. Man, what skinny water. Salmon on redds with their backs out of the water, riffles so shallow the boat got hung up twice, normal high water mark over 3 feet above the water level, pulling the boat back up rather than rowing to repeat a dri...

I spent last Thursday to Sunday in Bridgeport with 3 other guys for a Fall fishout. We fished the East Walker on Thursday and Friday. We caught a good number of fish but nothing of much size as compared to past Fall trips up there. That report seemed consistent with other fishermen we talked to on the wate...

I'm going camping this weekend up to Gualala, right on the banks of the river and I'd hate to go all that way and not wet my line. I've never been steelhead fising before, is it too early? any pointers for a rookie? is my 6 weight rod too light? All the DFG regs say is artificial lures, barbless hooks, and ze...

I drfited the Yuba last Friday, October 7, with Ryan J. and a friend of mind. There were quite a number of salmon in the river, especially in the Hammon/Sycamore stretch. Where there were salmon, there were lots of hungry, aggressive trout, and different from a lot of recent reports and my own recent...

So I hit the North Yuba a couple days ago and while fishing one of my favorite spots, I noticed something moving in the shallows right by my feet. I looked down, only to see a kokanee that had made the run up from bullards bar res. A few minutes later, another one. They looked really close being "do...

Before the thread question starts again for this October about whats up with the drastic drops soon followed by sudden jumps back up in the flows, I can tell you that its due to the cleaning of the Putah South Canal by Solano County Water Agency.

I had a good friend, who I fish with some and goes on our annual Montana, trip pass away this last Friday.

I just got back from a guided trip on the lower Sac and have been thoughtful about the entire experience since. My friend and I caught big fish, but it somehow felt unsatisfying. At one point we were fishing the "Whorehouse" riffle and at that point it hit me that a guided trip is something l...

Two of us went fishing on the Lower Yuba yesterday. After a good start in the morning (3 fish to 12", one each on a Brown RL stone, olive poopah, and tangerine bead), things slowed down late morning and through the early afternoon, and so we went exploring. The water is clear and the bottom looks cl...

I will have an opportunity to fish the American, below Nimbus, in a couple of weeks, which is not water I am familiar with, as I typically hit the Lower Yuba this time of year.
