Omnibus Public Lands Bill is still alive and to be voted on Monday March 16! Thursday 12 March was a sad day for Americans who enjoy traveling the great outdoors and for international observers of the US law making process. One of the biggest land use Bills, the once named Omnibus Bill, now tacked onto H...

I was just wondering what you guys thought about rivers that allow bait fishing, but are catch and release only. Why would DFG allow bait fishing if the fisherman can't keep any? The steelhead are gonna swallow the bait and now after having a hook remover down their throat they're gonna be released bac...

The new California Fly Fisher has a great write up and painting from? Yukon Mike.? The painting is of the Silver Fork.? Great job on the painting!!?
