Anyone fish near big tree state park near Arnold, CA? I fished it for about 30 min last year and caught a small Brookie. It looked like hard wading access.

I caught my first catfish on a fly rod. Little sucker tried to clamp down on my thumb. With all the water this year the bass were biting as well! Pound for pound smallmouth fight better than trout!

Look at the size of the bass on Berryessa. 13.89 pounds! probably hard to get on a fly rod, but I have heard dragging a worm on the bottom is very effective. http://lakeberryessanews.com Also Pyramid is firing up if you want to catch a giant trout...

I want to cure a batch of shrimp for steelhead. (called coon shrimp) It's difficult to find whole small shrimp in the SF bay area to use. I've been thinking of using grass shrimp. They are easy enough to get with a small gage trap and a little bait. Has anyone tried curing them for steelhead? If so what was t...

i am getting the steelhead itch pretty bad right now. i've been on the trinity river but want to explore some new areas, especially those with better access. Humbolt County areas open yet? Van Duzen River? Eel River? Mad River?

With the spawn happening on Putah some of us have been fishing the Napa for stripers. It's been pretty good but can be hit and miss depending on the day and time. A boat, even a 12' with a small outboard makes getting to the fish a whole lot easier than fishing from shore. You don't need to run far so anything...

With Putah Creek fishing tapering off to let the spawners do their job undisturbed, I plan to fish the Lower Yuba whenever weather permits. The Yuba is a challenging river but when trout are in the mood, it can be a lot of fun. I usually fish upstream of the Hwy 20 bridge and start with nymphs. If fish i...

sorry if this should be under rants and raves. I've been trying to catch a carp in Vietnam on the fly. Are there any carp fly fisherman that might have any advice? Locals in Hanoi here use 12 foot long bamboo rods with a handspool of heavy mono; they attach a heavy sinker to a hook with some type of bait, a...

My pal from the down the street, Mike Swaney, aka "Bernard" is seriously guiding again. if you're interested in catching stripers and trout in the same trip or just stripers, you should hire him to float the river. Mike's been fishing the Stanny for like 30 years and is acquainted with each striper o...

Going up to the Truckee tomorrow with a buddy. Haven't fished it this year at all. I usually fish nymphs during the day and little yellow sallies in the evening. I like fishing with a large nymph (stonefly of some type) and a smaller dropper (copper john, hares ear, etc.) I've had some success with m...
