That section is in town. A little bit below the Donner Creek confluence.
Woolhead sculpins (olive and black) worked pretty well yesterday afternoon. Two nice browns in the 14" neighborhood.
The...
Thanks Dan. I'm committed to becoming a better streamer fisherman right now.
When I head out now I only have two fly boxes: weighted and unweighted streamers.
Simplifies things so much and SO...
Ripped streamers down in the canyon yesterday afternoon.
Damn pretty out there and fishing wasn't too shabby either.
Landed one nice brown on a streamer. Especially cool because it was a fly Andy...
Thanks fellas. Upon the recommendation of a friend, we ended up hiring Quinn Styles from Country Pleasures in Calgary.

Excellent guide and really solid...
Looking to do a float trip. Anyone have guide recommendations for this area?
Flows look high and access looks dodgy due to flooding.
Any insight on this or other advice would be appreciated....
Dan...I'm actually on the Tahoe Nordic SAR team. I didn't make it out on the Alpine County search but talked to a couple guys from my team who did. Sounded like an ordeal. Nine hours to drive...
I hear what you're saying ycflyfisher. I agree all the bad elements are there but on your initial post it sounded like you were already writing this guy off which seemed premature. It seems like...
You never know. I went out on search yesterday in Desolation Wilderness for an overdue backpacker. He went out Friday and was due to return Tuesday. He had no idea about the approaching storm and...
Thanks EO.
A twelve pack of Torpedos was going for $12.99 at the Safeway in Susanville. How could we not stock up on such a fine ale?
Bigfly - Glad you had a great time. Let's do it again...
It was pretty much a steady diet of IPAs.....Sierra Nevada Torpedos and 21st Amendment Brew Free Or Dies. We were also occasionally accosted by a bottle of Jack Daniels that snuck into my truck...
A couple buddies and I headed to the McCloud on Wednesday morning. I was curious to see what kind of damage the fire had done. I'd seen some photos of the area on the Cal Trout website but was...
Nice man. Skates shoes earn you big soul points.
It'd look a lot better if someone did some logging in there.
Too much underbrush.
Well how about that...
"When the Stagmomantis Californica mate, the mount can last for hours. Often during or after mating the female S. Californica devours the male, allowing the female to have...
I wish I would have brought my camera yesterday. Regular Wild Kingdom down in the Truckee River canyon. Saw a coyote, a mule deer, a rainbow, a brown and this guy. I didn't know we had mantis in...
I also wondered if it was normal wear and tear but I decided I would send it back anyway to see what they would say. When they offered me a brand new rod for small change I wasn't going to argue...
Some of the cork on my Trilogy (about 10 years old) came off last summer when I was fishing the E. Fork of the Bitterroot. It was still fishable so I didn't send it back until this summer. I paid...
Shook hands with an 18-20" 'bow this afternoon near the water treatment plant. It was actively feeding just a few feet off the bank in slow, shoulder water...almost no current. Gentle, sipping...
My wife is a good woman and does the back application.
The tricky part is getting from my house to the river without getting the body paint all over my truck upholstery.
Naked tenkara.
But with camo body paint for a stealthier approach.
The Truckee fished pretty well yesterday. One of my better days lately. I started at 11AM and hooked and netted two nice 'bows in the first half hour of fishing. About an hour later hooked a nice...
This movie looks incredible! Giant Alaskan pike on a fly, butchering moose with an ax, surly local boys with shotguns, drunk skinny dipping....what more do you want?
Here's the trailer:...
Thanks a bunch, Ralph.
Already well established but I'll say it anyway: "You're the man."
Yes, you got where I was coming from SHig_Speed.
I'm not doubting the rivers are there but when you look at DeLorme's Northern CA Atlas & Gazetteer or Nat Geo Topo! the rivers are listed as "North...
