Actually, from what I understand is there are only like 3 entities that raise these particular birds for those long hackle strands. These birds are not treated like their doomed brethren at Foster...

Funny you mention that.......

I was in the Eureka Flyshop the other day and in walks two young women looking for the long skinny strands of grizzly hackle. The owner, Mike, said he was all out. He...

Ralph's topic yesterday brought back some interesting memories about miner encounters. I've come across many a miner in my days, but for the most part, have never been hassled or confronted. Usually,...

Fished Tues afternoon. Saw a guy flyfishing Maple Ck upstream of the 101 bridge and thought I'd give it a shot for some cutts. Water was low, but there are some nice deep areas upstream aways. Didn't...

Ha! How did I know you'd chime in with your usual uplifting, supportive, and helpful contributions to this Board? What a suprise.......

Dude......please just go away. If you have a problem with...

The Mad below Ruth Lake, along with most waters up here on the northcoast, open up again at the end of the month. I talked with Mike at the Eureka Flyshop for while about the upper Mad. Got some good...

All three lagoons are still muddy. The wind up here last week really stirred things up. Didn't even bother blowing up the tube. Probably less than a foot of visibility. Quite a few folks at...

It was on at 8pm here in Eureka. It was a great show, as are all the shows in the Nature series. It's always appointment tv for me every Sunday.

When you think about it, Idaho is LONG way from the...

Our traditional opening day destination for many years is definitely not gonna happen this year with these massive flows (9300cfs at Rock Ck!!!! Last year was 350cfs and perfect).

If anyone down...

Well.......not much to report, as I never even got the tube in the water. Got up to Big Lagoon around 8am only to find it "blown out". All the rain on Friday turned the lake into a muddy mess. While...

I think many people's opening day Plan A's are descending quickly to Plan D's, E's, and F's due to blown rivers. I know my traditional opening weekend spot is definitely going to be a no-go.

I'm...

Thanks everyone for the responses. Very helpful info! Report and pics on Monday.

Taking the tube up to Big Lagoon on Saturday. Not much info on the internet about fishing the lagoons, but the little info I've gathered by talking to a local, I understand that the coastal cutthroat...

While fishing the Van Duzen in January, I had the distinct pleasure of running into a long time local ex-guide and an extrordinary fisherman (his name is Galen, if anyone up here knows him). Talk...

If you've picked up the latest Fly Tyer issue, you've seen this new product from Spirit River. Personally, I think it's extremely cool. The patterns displayed in the mag, using the Bug Partz along...

I grew up in Stockton (Lincoln HS, 1987). And yes, I can't see this going over too well. One suggestion I would have would be to re-name it the Salmon and Steelhead Festival. Over the years I've...

Thanks everyone who replied. All good info. The good thing about this Board is it seems there's rarely a body of water in the USA that nobody has fished or has info on.

Ok....time to start my...

Hey Ron.....

Don't bother with the SF. At 7000cfs it's completely blown and very big and muddy. It won't fish for a while.

I've never fished it, but I drive over it alot on the way up the...

Since the Board is kinda slow lately, I'll throw this out there......

I'm going to visit the folks in late June for a week. Unfortunately, they don't live in Graeagle anymore, but have retired to...

I've used the Simms carbide knobby studs on my Chota's, and they worked great and outlasted the boots. But now I have Simms regular felt soles and want the added grip of the studs. However, the...

Hey Kyburz. Since no one else chimed in, I guess I will.

As of today, all the rivers up here are blown out, and none of them will fish by the weekend, unfortunately. It all depends on how much...

Hey Jason....

When the flows are at that level, I always headed straight for the large side channel about 2 miles below the bridge on the south side access road. Just drive down that road until...

What about spraying on some of that Nightcrawler scent on my San Juan worms? Or what about smearing some roe-scented Smelly Jelly on my Glo-bugs?

Or........oh wait......nevermind. I already tried...

That's the same article I was given a link to on my "fishing bugs on the SF Eel" post last week. I believe I used the term "ABSOLUTELY ABSURD" to describe that very snippet.

It's things like this...

Before I started flyfishing for good, slinky's and mini-crawlers were the best fish catching rig I ever used on the American. In my opinion, there is no freshwater fish alive that can resist a worm. ...
