We had the pleasure of hosting Luke Nowlin this weekend, A young man riding his horse from N Carolina to Calif. He was in Napa today headed to Sonoma and then to Ft Bragg where he will end his journey. What would it be like to travel in America today as the early pioneers did? What kind of people would one e...

Just wondering if any body else has had problems with these guys. I placed an order 2 weeks ago expecting the standard 4-7 day delivery. After 10 days had gone by without any correspondance, I called and left a message. 2 days go by and I had to call again and talked to someone who said he'll look into my...

Have you bass fishers seen this new "lure". It is five swimbaits on one setup. It looks like a sal****er teaser setup. I am working on an alabama fly. In California you can only use three hooks. The bass guys are easily getting 25 pound days with this setup. http://californiaoutdoo...

Holy crap! Texas Rangers free agent pitcher is seeking $100 million plus to pitch for five years!! Good thing the Giants have pitching. Well I guess there is the Zito loss. I think he is going to get 15-16 million to sit on the bench... I looked it up Zito will make 19 million to sit on the bench. Afte...

I saw this on Moldy Chum today..... if any of you are look a like it is worth a try. I reckon if Cliff had a few double-doubles and a shake or two to wash them down he would be in with a shout?? Is it worth shaving your head for a chance at an Echo Rod of your choice?

Game six is almost as good as watching the Giants win the world series. Tied up in the ninth two run homer by the Rangers and tied up again in the tenth. Going to the eleventh!

For those of you who don't know his flies you should google his name and check them out. I was messing around on the internet and wanted to see if he had a dragonfly nymph pattern. The first thing that popped up was news of his untimely passing, 48 years young at his home in Colorado. I'm crushed, what a b...

The giants season hangs on a piece of dental floss...I do NOT want to see the dbacks celebrating tonight, not that we can catch them at this point but...another season comes to a close.

It’s been a little dead around here on the boards. Its either people are catching fish and not posting, or the fishing just sucks. Lately its been all about the Shad and stripers. For me the stripers have been tough, the shad a little easier. But the flows and cold water are really putting a hurtin on t...

I'd like to take a minute to rave about this guy that repaired my Thomas&Thomas rod recently. I tore a guide off and the others were wearing nice grooves into them so I decided it was time to get the rod rewrapped with new guides. Tough decision wether to send it in to have the factory do it or have it do...

This is nuts. Please help out. If you wheel in CA you NEED to do this. Not only that, you NEED to pass this on and get more people to do it. (Actually, even if you don't wheel and just want to access to dirt roads in CA in Prius, you need to do this) Not gunna bore you with all the details, but here's the jist of i...

Dear Sir, I would like to address the attempts being made by the Putah Creek Trout foundation (P.T.C.) and any affiliated fly fishing groups to make Putah Creek a dedicated, no take, "wild fishery". I would like to start by saying there would, in all likelihood, be no wild trout in Putah C...

I had a chance to go to the Flyfishing Show in Pleasanton today. Once again, fewer rod and reel manufacturers and fewer outfitters as well. No DF&G booth either. No Leland or Western booth as well.

I just want everyone to know that you can support the game wardens. They are doing their best on a limited budget. If everyone gives five bucks it will make a difference!!!

Ducks are laying an egg!! I saw a fish caught and kept today on Putah. The offender was some type of raptor. Not sure what it was. White and brown fairly large. Not a Red Tail, not a Bald eagle. Something in between. A raptor has to eat... Any bird people out there?

Try to rap your brains around this one...If your local safeway closed, you would drive to the next closes store to buy your food...You would not starve and die.

I talked to DFG today to see what was going on across from the campground at Access 1. I have been seeing DFG people at the Audubon Gate.
