There's a fairly large number of shad in the river but I agree that another week or so and there will be double or triple the amount. Colder water and about 1/2 dozen very active sea lions are...

Yep, the 13 gravel augmentation projects over the last 15.5 years was destructive enough but now, it is greatly compounded (especially from Watt down) with the levee expansion project. The river has...
Hello fellow anglers,
I am trying to help a buddy of mine by listing a rod he built and is wanting to sell.
Let me rephrase that... he is NEEDING to sell.

Winter Steelhead are not here in any numbers yet. What fish are in head straight to the basin now that the river has dropped to 2000 cfs. I can tell you that the river is absolutely PLUGGED with...
I got to see Joe at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center just weeks before he passed. He was walking with Andy Guibord along the nature trails and I was headed to the river to fish for stripers. I think it...
Well put... and so true. Kiene's was a much friendlier and more respected enterprise when Bill was at the helm; I'll just leave it at that.
I'd guess 7-8# but it's beauty and wildness far outshines its weight.
Also, thanks for proper handling and quick release.
Problem with this site?
Almost everybody left?
Hey, it's all good Brian and it's praise well-deserved. You have developed and nurtured quite the reputation. Yesterday, a buddy of mine dropped by my house. I hadn't seen him since just before my...
Actually, in most cases, I believe they failed from the sides and/or the front insertions points. For each time I lost an insert... there were several times I ALMOST lost an insert and in those...
Typically, August is best month for steelies on Klamath, no? BUT... THIS YEAR, with all the snow runoff, full reservoirs, etc... the season will likely be later so September 5-8 should see the...
I really loved that film
That it was 30 years ago already>? Not so much...
Thanks Bill ;)
My experience is similar to what I have read from many others... I LOVE the comfort and convenience of the concept BUT... I bought their top of the line, Devils Canyon boots and within a week, I lost...

YEP... and that hatch will surely be a few weeks later this year with all the snow we got...
Glad to hear you had a good day with your companion and the fish, Tony :) As for finding stripers to play with... My fishing buddy and I call it RUN & GUN. Stripers are generally not shy nor too...
A friend of mine who is a certified rod builder for Gary Loomis, suggested the following:
"To me, that doesn't look like it's near the tip. It also looks like rod finish that was overheated,...
That's AWESOME! and it just goes to show that the world of fishing is a small one and that the good guys always seem to find each other on the water pursuing our piscatorial passion...
Marty...
I made room so try again :)
Yep, I was for a long spell... a member of the Fish Guru, Cabbage Head, Joe Rivera, Marty Lentiny Posse. I'm grateful to have experienced the best days of AR stripers, from our generation, with...
American River mostly. Until 5 years ago, I ONLY fished the AR.
In a typical year, the AR gets its first schoolies migration in March/April and the action is best on the lowest sections. May...
There is always soft enough water somewhere... you just need to scout new spots. I don't shad fish but I've been catching quite a few striped bass for the last month and 90% have been caught in...
Glad to see you still at it, Tony. I've never fished a minnow for stripers in my life... I can't match the numbers of the guides using them in March-May but I catch way more and way bigger bass than...
BWAG was right and oh yeah... forgot that trick but it nailed it to the 2-salt tube fly for sure...
Looks like a variation of a Conehead Maribou Muddler?
