Thanks all. Based on your comments, I think I'll launch out of B&W and go north from there when the water clears a bit.

I used Rio t-14 beginning last November coupled with my 8wgt TFO rod. I really like it to the point that I'm going to retire my lead core heads. I never really liked the loop system and rarely-if...
I seem to recollect a posting touting the smallmouth bass fishing in the upper Moklumne. Is New Hope Landing a good jumping off spot for this and is the water clearing in this streach? Wouldn't...
According to heir website,Tuffleye will cure in direct sunlight in about 10 minutes. A tube of the stuff costs about nine bucks. It may be worth the effort to try it in sunlight rather than pop for...
Really nice fly rod fish. We were in about Franks, Mildred, the SJ flats, etc Tusday and scored around 45 fish, 10 of which were largemouth. All on Clousers. Only 3 of the stripers were around 4...
Your experience is why I pointedly avoid the Delta, or the foothill lakes for that matter, during a summer weekdend. Happily I can fish during the week and find that my prefered time is during a...
Good looking bait and will work just fine as is. Like others, I use EC jig hooks which helps to avoid snags. Also I tie in a few strands of pearl and silver flashabou in the tail. Length of the...
Your bug should work just great! It combines the advantages of the gurgler and the KD frog. Frankly, i have trouble casting some of the good looking top water creations but the jurgler looks as if...

Here below is my attempt at this style of pattern. I was somewhat taken aback when viewing this picture that they appear so ragged. They do seem to present a better profile when wet. Also, they...
Thanks all. I will now begin a quest for Photobucket. Bob
I was inspired by earlier postings to try my hand at tying a few Puglisi style flies and would like commentary, suggestions, etc. on the results. Can't figure out how to attach a photo to the...
Paul,
Having never owned a motorguide unit, I can't do a comparison. My Minn-Kota motor has worked without problems for the last two years. Prior to that the compass card that controlled the...
Does anyone have a feeling for the wind conditions after this storm for the next day or so? I go out of Stockton and no furthur west than Franks.
Thanks Bob
