This reply might be late, but be careful in the Canyon with your driftboat. The river is fairly low now. As mentioned above, there's a strainer below the DC bridge. I ran it in a driftboat last...

I also suggest DIY if you're just repairing chipped gel coat and not fiberglass. I bought a used/refurbished clacka from clacka, and I've repaired the gel coat on the chines twice. If your hull is...

Thanks for the report. I'm headed to the Madison, Beaverhead, Ruby and Big Hole starting this weekend. I was planning to check in with Mark "Fast Lane" Lane as well, although we aren't staying...

Plus one for the standard side. For our area, my favorite Clacka is the WF. In the interest of full disclosure, I own one. I have never owned an Eddy, but I've rowed one. My impression is that the...

I would say American or Lower Sac. Do not, I repeat, do not do your maiden voyage on the Trinity right now. The restoration program flow schedule is in effect, and it's a very different river than...

I believe Clacka also has a video (for what it's worth). You might also consider finding some tame water (a brave soul to join you), and going for it. In Redding, the stretch from Posse Grounds by...

Skagit Scout 330 is great on that rod. 360 is too much. Not sure about Scandi.

PM Sent RE Big Game 7

I'm always in favor of going even if the conditions aren't great, but, based on flow forecasts/hydrographs, I'm not seeing a single Northern California or Southern California coastal river that will...

I fish beads and Boles Bazooka-style eggs occasionally for fall run steelhead (typically in buckets behind active salmon redds) and for winter steelhead. About a month ago there was a warden pulling...

I haven't cast it, but I've heard nothing but rave reviews of that rod. I think most people set these up with either skagit heads and sink tips (for streamers/bigger stuff) or a scandi line and...

The Shasta-Trinity-Cascades Chapter of Trout Unlimited is proud to host the 2017 Fly Fishing Film Tour (“F3T”) at the Cascade Theatre in Redding, CA on Friday, October 27, 2017. Doors open at 6:00...

Here's a little background on my boat buying/use history and my thoughts on your situation. I used to live in San Francisco with a very small garage with room for a compact car. I bought a 12 ft....

I would start with Headhunters Fly Shop. They are very knowledgeable and eager to help. I think it's a little slow this time of year, so they should be helpful if you call. Also, they have a very...

I agree with the others--either a floater or intermediate. The switch rod is fun, but a single hander is great too if you have a boat to get yourself out onto gravel bars where you have tons of room...

I'm planning a backpacking trip to the Wind Rivers in early September, and I might be kicking around Pinedale for a day or two on the front and/or back end of the hike. I might send you a PM as the...

Hmmm....maybe I'll give it a go down in the Delta.

It does not, but I always use sinking lines anywhere from intermediate to a 30 foot head of 6 ips, so it tracks fine. I'm debating whether to add a third shank/segment to get more of a wiggle...

Here's a bluegill pattern I recently came up with (for muskies). It's still in R&D / swim tests, but you get the idea.

Agreed. The CNRFC has the South Fork (Miranda) at like 3K next weekend. That's no bueno. My guess is mid to late next week (a week from this Thursday and Friday). The main stem will be a few days...

Replied to your classified ad.

It's a little early to tell, but the upper sections (Indian Creek and up) could be in play by the weekend. I'm planning to check it out Sunday unless I hear it's nonstarter.

I might have a couple options for you in Redding. Both Clackacraft WFs, 2001 and 2011. The 2001 is in great shape for its age, the 2011 is basically mint (fished a few times on the Lower Sac). The...

He's ruined. Poor kid.

Yeah, no one has any gripe about the upper Trinity being crowded. There are several websites, maps, outfitter's materials that highlight it. On the other hand, filming and expressly stating your...
