Best bet may be Wades Lake, accessible from the Jamison Mine site near Graeagle. Here's a trail map (https://caltopo.com/m/G1T03) from Cal Topo. Note that the lake is 3 miles and 1,300 feet up from...

Cleghorn Bar might be a good place to go if the the road is open. Takes a reasonable 4WD vehicle to get there and back out. (Cost my nephew $1,500 20 years ago to have AAA come out from Portola to...

Independence Lake is in pretty good shape and should stay that way - Reno says they won't need any of it...this year. Check it out at this site.

Thanks to all for your replies. I took off Tuesday AM before seeing any of them. Have to say that the first mile or so downstream of Ash Camp was not so good. My van has been to Ah-Di-Na once, but...

Saw a photo from 8/17 here that shows a very cloudy McCloud. Does it still look like that? I've got a couple of days to fish this week but won't make the 5 hr drive to McCloud if it looks like that.

A friend in Idaho remarked recently on the effect of geology on fly fishing. It made enough sense that I asked M. Google about it and found this very good article.

Among other things it helps...

Bill,

Thanks for your insight. As one who calls the Truckee River his home waters I've been looking for alternatives this year - the Truckee looks so sad. I'm also only a couple of years younger...

Scouted the Pit today. The road is closed 2.5 miles downstream of Pit 3 Dam at the DeLucci Ridge access. A sign there says the road will be closed until 9/20. One can drive upstream from Big Bend...

A revisit of a frequent topic...

The USDA Forest Service has online updated topo maps for National Forests. The link is here. The maps are updated USGS 7.5 minutes series containing National...

Many years ago I ran into a guy who told this story - He was hired to write a review on some new piece of gear (probably a float tube; don't remember what for sure) for fishing in the back country. ...

I was up at Ash Camp right after opening in my 19' Roadtrek. Avoid the weekends if you can - it gets pretty busy. Best spot (but possible challenge for backing-up) is the third (of four) site. ...

Thanks, folks. You're right - it's clearer in Truckee today. Plus, Ms. Asthma pulled the plug & decided the McCloud was too far to go. But south of Mammoth sounds good. We were there when the...

My asthmatic wife would like to escape the smoke in Truckee for a few days. She suggested a few days at Ah Di Nah - bonus! How is it up there now?

Thanks.

...in a parking area near the Boca Bridge on the I80 side of the river. Last Thursday (7/18), around 11:30 AM - looked like they'd been there for at least a day. I've got them now. Are they yours?...

Thanks for the tip. I wonder about that stream every time we drive by. I like having to work to get to places to wet a fly.

Thanks to all for the encouraging words. It's true - we do find we're close to the median demographic in Nevada City. And Nevada City is far more preferable than another alternative on the table -...

As an aging Truckee resident I'm starting to look for places to live where I won't have to drive down Northwoods in the snow when the amateurs are about. Fishing the Truckee is an important part of...

Doh! Please note corrected date.

I'm thinking of heading up to the Middle Fork Feather on Tuesday, 6/19. I figure on leaving Truckee around 5 AM - it's >= 2 1/2 hrs to get there. Return to Truckee by 5 PM. Got room for 1 equally...

Had it been Bigfoot, she surely would have noticed it at the time! Probably even made record time climbing out of the canyon, too. But no, she had no idea it was there.

While fishing the North Fork of the American upstream of Euchre Bar yesterday, my wife was shooting pictures of running water for her photography class. When she reviewed the shots last night she...

Tom Stienstra's column in the SF Comical on Thursday reported that someone had tried to get to Grouse Ridge last weekend. The road was blocked about 3 miles from Bowman Rd. with about 3' of snow.

On Sunday I checked the flows for the Truckee at Boca - 45 cfs. Thought I'd go see what this looked like since it was maybe ten percent of the summer average. And I always want to have my rod with...

Note that clicking on any of the maps will display only a portion of the map. The portion displayed will be the section revealed in the "Tool Tip" when the mouse pointer hovers over a section of the...

Why the Flathead? Clark Fork and the Bitterroot are right there out of Missoula!
