A few years back I tried fishing a fairly heavy intruder type fly on a scandi with a 5 ips versileader with roughly 4-5 feet of Tippett maybe more which gave me the equivalent of like a 15' leader....
My son is living up near Nevada City this semester and was wondering about flyfishing the South Yuba near Bridgeport and Englebright. Anyone have any experience or insights to share?
I've been out about once a week since late November and haven't had more than a bump. Last week saw a fish jump that we thought might have been an adult steelhead or a small salmon still in good...
Rad! Thanks for sharing. Haven't gotten out to any river other than the AR this season but managed about 5 nice adults on the swing and dozens of smaller juveniles that were for lack of a better term...
You know I think I have had more success with the nymph trailing the egg but before you do that consider what you have to work with in your in your fly box.....I think the entire rig will roll out...
I did! There were nothing but spawned out fish on the left there so I figured I'd catch a ride and try further down by the corner. Not a single grab all morning.
Where were you? Above the bridge...
On my way down there NOW! See ya on the water, I'll be wearing a black hoody.

I'm thinking something in olive, my most productive flies this fall right up till now have been olive soft hackles on the smaller side, long leader on a steelhead scandi. With the low flow and clear...
So just out of curiosity I thought I'd do a little survey of the forum here....with the January 1st opener on the AR swiftly approaching what's your fly selection going to look like? And more...
I was out on the AR last week and I was thinking to myself there's got to be something wrong with me getting excited over the smell of rotting chinooks on the bank.....winter steel is right around...
I don't know it well, but I did fish it for the first time last month when I drove up and found the east Carson blown out. Access is pretty straight forward, you can park there where the river passes...
Well....not so good. Got there bright and early nobody around hiked down from the airport access only to find the river was completely blown out! Blown out like a no whip mocha with bugs coming out...
Anybody interested in a day trip to the East Carson tomorrow? I'll be leaving from Granite Bay around 4am. Fish the morning, lunch/siesta, fish afternoon/evening, head home around dark:30.
Any...
Ok so in a nutshell(if I'm understanding this correctly), over-rotation on my sweep might be the cause?
I think I understand the 180 degree rule but can you explain a bit more about hooking the line behind you? I seem to do that a lot with the scandi but not so much with the Skagit. I really liked my...
I have a Fishcat that came with inflatable seat and back. While the inflatable seat was comfortable it seemed to taco a bit especially after I'd been in the water for awhile and the air cooled. I...
Yeah Jeff, I think I've seen the same thing, while we were still getting hits consistently in deep water a few times I've seen guys start to pick them up near the surface swinging nymphs with a...
I know where I've gotten into shad in the past as far as pools and tailouts but I've never been sure if it was due to the shear number of fish or if I was spot on. I guess what I'm asking is where in...
I would go with a selfbailer for the same reasons mentioned above and personally if I had to stand I would rather do it on an inflatable floor than a standard non-bailing trampoline. And as far as...
Hey Ron, how much do those anchors weigh? I was looking at the mushroom. I don't know if that would be suitable for the river but this week I'm looking at anchors for my raft.
It seems that in the press release they have eluded to making shift in terms of supplying fish from "sustainable fisheries". And in the second post Safeway was mentioned as having already gone in...
I've been really busy with work the last few weeks..........has the shad run already peaked out? From what I've read on the board it looks like it's tapering off and I haven't fished in about month...
When I looked in the stump hole of my tree that went down I was really surprised at how shallow the roots were and also how much water was in the hole.
I remeber when I was doing tree work...
I had some flooding as usual right in front of my house, and unfortunately had my favorite shade tree go down. It was about two and half feet in diameter, and about 60 feet tall.

Hey Matt,
I have tried diving fins, Churchills, Outcast fins.......what I have found that works well for me are the fins we use for water rescue in the fire department. Shredder SAR fins. They're...
