I find I have most success where there's a little break in the water surface. ON Baum and the Fall they have all day to inspect the fly, and they get a good clear look at it, in the Hat Creek riffle...

From what I've heard Tracey Diaz former head of Marketing at Cal Trout will be the editor and George Revel from Lost Coast Outfitters will be the Publisher.

Shasta Pines is what you'd expect for an inexpensive motel in Burney. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable, but pretty basic. They try to keep it nice, every time I stay there they are painting...

Nothing special, size 20 black thread body, slightly fatter thorax and you can add a little dubbing for that if you want. Three synthetic mayfly tails and the wing I tie sparsely with white antron...

I was up there this weekend. Stayed at Shasta Pines and had dinner at the Outpost! Stayed away from the steak...had two teeth pulled last week so it was soup and pasta and Hexagenia IPA! I try to...

Does seem odd that the population of greater Denver a 2-3 hour drive, is about 3.5 million, but its about 10 million for Pleasanton/Bay Area. Definitely a much bigger market for vendors and...

Hi Jay,

I picked up a couple of hackle saddles from you Friday morning. Putting them to good use already.

I couldn't help but notice that the show seems to be getting smaller each year with...

I got my rod back after about 2 weeks with a new tip. Pretty good service, though I think I prefer the Reddington model. My Orivs repair, while very timely, cost $85 for a new tip. Reddington...

I have a 10 year old Arcteryx Sidewinder goretex shell, which is just about the best piece of outdoor gear I have ever purchased. Great for skiiing and I wear it wading too. It has a Recco tab built...

Luckily both rods are under warranty, but its still a hassle. Orvis wants $60 for the repair, postage will probably be another $15. 6-8 weeks until I get it back. Redington has a short cut. Instead...

Had the day off today (THANK YOU VETERANS) so got up at 5am and drove 3 hours to my favorite fall spot for BIG browns. Got to my spot and the river was in great shape and nobody was there! Got my...

Thats a real bummer. I have a stack of them 2 feet high and every time I fish somewhere new I know if I dig through them there'll be an article with advice. The national magazines, Drake, Fly...

We had a young kid still in college, Caleb...didn't get a last name. It was his first season guiding, but no complaints he put us on a lot of nice fish....though my daughter did learn a lot of new...

Just got home last night after a 14 hour drive from Ketchum...would have been 11 but we hit Truckee at 4pm as everyone was leaving and it was stop and go all the way down the hill! My daughter and I...

We fished Silver Creek this morning and if there's a more perfect trout stream on planet earth I haven't seen it. We fished the Nature Conservancy for 3 hours and had 3 small fish each. I had a momma...

I've been very lucky with guides in the past. I've only once had a bad experience with a lazy guide, which ironically was in Idaho, and every other time they've busted their tails and earned every...

I'm headed your direction in a couple of weeks, a few days in Ketchum a few days in Victor with my daughter. I'm suffering severe sticker shock with the cost of guided trips...any tips on where...

I'm planning a trip to Idaho with my daughter before she goes back to school in a couple of weeks; a few days in Ketchum and a few more in Victor. We want to check a few bucket list rivers. Without...

I've fished with Art on the Fall and he definitely knows every inch of the river and he'll throw bobbers if you want or swing wets whatever you want....but he's old school, don't expect Chamber of...

I was up there Monday and it was a 3 ring circus. 2 rods in every run.

I fished the LT yesterday, which was my first mistake! There must have been 50 people in the meadow section. It looked like every guide in the Tahoe basin was out there with 2 clients! Fished the...

They also tend to kill the weaker members of the deer herd, the ones that are diseased, so that in the end makes for an overall healthier and larger deer population. Species with no natural...

Bear hunting is permitted in the Burney area so they are very wary of humans, unlike Tahoe or Yosemite where they stroll around in broad daylight breaking into tourists cars like its San Francisco or...

I was up camping at Burney State Park this past weekend and saw not one but two dead lions roadside. One was about a mile short of the Hatchet mountain summit on the west side and the other was...

I'm guessing that for years it was just fishermen going down there and a few years ago people started putting in there to float down to the park. That attracted a different element!
