Thanks for the info Bill. We focused on the fly only water and had a great trip with lots of fish to net/hand. The first fly was hatching all day from about 11am till we walked off the river anywhere...
Farming is lumped in with mining and only accounts for about 2% of California's GDP. For him to say farmers are essential is just a lie. When it comes to water usage, residential use accounts for...
Wow! Great story, beautiful fish, amazing photos and very interesting rod/reel. Care to share the specs?
I just got home last night from the Trinity. Here is a pic of the lake. Not sure how 'normal' this is though as it is the first time I've seen it.10635
A fellow fly fisher said he heard they were...

Do these turn a metallic green? I saw them in swarms earlier this year.

My buddy and I are planning a trip to Patagonia this year. First of all, I can't believe how expensive it is down there to get a guide!
Anyone ever book with this guide Nico from Trouters Lodge?...
I've been fishing this small stream up in the mountains for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen these bugs. Any idea what they are? There were thousands of them; on the trees, rocks,...
Maybe a dragon fly? There are some huge ones buzzing around. The only other bug I know that might be this big is a salmon fly, but I haven't seen any of those around.

I took...
My buddy was out on a motorcycle ride and drove by the King River. He said it looked like a good place to fish. Anyone have any info about it?
I found this little guy (girl?) crawling up a small stick very close to the edge of the water. I'm thinking it is a Yellow Quill. It was about 4PM and it looks freshly hatched.

I am trying to learn my aquatic insects. I observed these today on a small, fast flowing mountain stream in Southern CA. The only book on entomology I have is Hatch Guide For Western Streams. I...
Thanks Bill. I'll be on the west coast in a pretty rural area. I'm sure that doesn't mean there will be fish there though!
I am headed to India for a few weeks and will be on the beach. (It is much nicer than you are probably imagining.) Not wanting to go so long without fly fishing, I decided to pick up a 7 piece travel...

I got it off a submerged log. Pretty cool looking and fun to learn about. Thanks for the reply. I used a dry with a Flashback Pheasant Tail dropper. I tried a Gold Ribbed Hair's Ear first, but no...
Trying to learn my bugs. I found this little guy up in a creek in the San Bernardino Mtns. I pulled out my Hatch Guide For Western Streams, but can't tell if it is a Western Green Drake or a...
