I've always fished it on my own. I was curious about guides, after reading your post, and did a quick search on Google asking for: "steelhead guides on the Russian River, CA" and up popped several:...
Looks fishy to me. I copied the recipe and will tie up a few.
Catching small trout may never be the same after catching two steelhead.
With all the rain the Eel won't clear for quite awhile. If and when the rain stops the Gualala will come into shape much sooner.
I use and old big rig snow tire chain cut into short segments. I found the chain while fishing along highway 80 near Truckee River. Use the following link. Cut the number of segments you need to...
Looks like it would work anywhere there is an October caddis hatch. Good luck.
Fished the S. Fork the last two days. The water looked great. Very few fishermen and no fish. Didn't see anybody doing anything.
It looks like it could be an Abedus water bug. Look at it on google. I found one about 50 years ago on the Yuba River. It was so large, probably well over an inch with eggs all over its back, that...

Finally returned yesterday. Had a great time. Talked to guides, The Fly Shop, and Bob at Ted Fey's and decided to stay and fish the upper Sacto around Dunsmuir. Drove down stream twice but it was...
Thanks for the info. Have fished a lot up there. Will check around. Hate to drive in the wrong direction if nothing is happening once I get there. I've always had a good time on the Upper Sacto...
My buddy finally retired so we will head up to his Dunsmuir cabin and fish for a few days next week. Will check in with the Ted Fay Fly Shop, but any info for that area would be helpful. Anyone...
Try to google the full name. I just did and came up with recipes and pictures:

I'm sick of this state giving water to big agri business/corps at cheap prices, especially at the expense of our natural resources. If you feel the same way please sign the following petition to...
You're right the fish is a hog and Dante was right saying that gluttony was a sin. The pikeminnow was enough, but, oh no, he turned around and ate the fly. The fish paid for gluttony.
I tried tying a couple of them yesterday. It was also featured in the the online magazine: MidCurrent Fly Fishing News.

Check out Albright. Their top of the line rods are on sale at great savings right now. You might want to check them out on line.
Thanks for all of your help. I've been tying steelhead leaders using the traditional blood knot. About every third knot has been slipping. Not sure why (I don't have the blood knot tying tool),...
I'll be nymphing. Main fly and an egg dropper.
Thanks Rick. Sound good to me.
In this day of upscale equipment and state of the art fly rods, vests, etc. I find myself getting a little upset. Maybe its because I'm older, retired, and a cheap skate. Anyway, I decided to start...
Bill, you may feel lost for awhile, maybe a week or two, but looking back at retirement I can't understand why I wasted all those years working. Yeah, I remember having to eat and pay the bills, not...
Bob, I understand what you're saying. It is beautiful and a joy to get out and fish, but I would never gladly pay $500 to have access.
