Quartz Creek Campground out of Cooper Landing has some great Dolly fishing. You might see some late Sockeyes in Sept. Some huge Kings late June/early July
Bull Trout were introduced into Star City Creek in 1990 from some Upper Klamath strain fish and were never seen again. If it could even possibly work you would need a Lacustrine population and that...
I caught a couple in the Middle Fork by Oregon Bar however that was 25 years ago
Gosh what happened to the old Steelhead Bee by R.H. Brown? I have caught 90% of surface Steelhead on that fly alone and it's the original.
Lower Yuba can be awesome for Shad below Daguerre dam if there is water, which there isn't much of this year. Not sure how far up they will even go but any runoff will be done in a few weeks. I...
In 45 years fishing the Sierras I have only caught 1 Juvenile Tiger (BrownXBrook). Parker Creek (below lake) Mono County. It is very rare to come across one
I honestly have never caught Shad at DaGuerre when flows were under 2K. That being said I only try when it's been at that level. Have tried only once at 700-1K and it was squawfish city. Curious...
God rest his soul. Prayers to Jon and may he be hitting the rivers in heaven with the best!
I just scored a classic reel on Ebay. Peaker #46 (John Emory Tarpon Clone) made in San Jose. The reel is a true beast and heavy. Was looking to pair it with a 10/11 wt Spey (13') for Large...
John Fabian was a true gentleman. I fished with him with a group on the McKenzie River back in May 2007 when he had a horrible accident hitting an underground rock. My buddies and John flipped...
Lower Yuba was always my favorite. Since Yuba Rec. Inc. Club on north side of DeGuerre Dam closed in 2017 I haven't been back and I so do miss it. Epic Shad fishing
I got a Thompson 100 a while back that was in horrible shape and sent it to Bill. He took it apart and made it into a wonderful reel I use for Shad. Guy is a genius and a super great guy. What...
Bill - From Fiberglass Fly Rodders Page
Mr. James LePage, who joined Orvis in 1990 and does not need any introduction, designed the Odyssey reel. He has been involve on every rod and reel for the...
I have an Orvis Odyssey II reel from early 1990s that was built in SoCal for only a few years. Fantastic Striper Reel
Call the Caddis Fly Shop in Eugene and get a Guide. It's worth the $$$ and will make for a much more memorable experience there. Took me a year to figure out that river when I was in college up...
Well the last El Nino that hit couple years ago I though all of the Sea Lion pups were starving to death. I guess give it some time, the whole food chain is so completely out of wack in the...
Fish Sniffer has always been full of propaganda. In 2000 they claimed a good Arctic Grayling population was still alive and well in Jackson Meadows Res. DFW Biologists will tell you otherwise
Morgan's Landing was always great for Sockeyes but that is done for the year. Kasilof River has a few access points for some Silvers and Dollies. Quartz Creek is fantastic but keep your eyes open...
I saw one guy catch a 4-1/2' Green Sturgeon on the Yuba right at the Bluff below Daguerre Dam while fly fishing for Shad with a 7 wt. single hand back in 2011. Water was really serious that Spring....
Go get em' and have fun! The NV Desert and Mtns are beautiful places

8' 6" 3 wt. and casts perfectly not to mention can take it anywhere. I love it!
Hardy St. John 3-3/4" from 1920-1930. You'll look super cool on the river!
Everyone needs to read "The King of California - JG Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire" by Rick Wartzman. That will open your eyes
