Thanks all. I hear they increase the flows on the weekend for the kayackers so weekdays are the beat bet. Guess I need to stop by the shop and pick up a few flies this morning. I think I will hit...

I always thought this area was closed but I met someone on the lower AR around this time last year and he showed me some pictures of some beautiful trout. After reading the regs it appears the river...
What should I be using on the American right now? In the past I have swung leach and egg patterns because I am not great at nymphing with indicators. What should I be throwing if I am cannot get a...
Water level is pretty low in Yosemite Valley so I didn’t make it out fishing. Talked to one guy I saw with a fly rod and he said he could see hundreds of trout but they were not biting anything he...
Heading to Yosemite tomorrow for a week. Any worth while fishing inside the park? I really don’t want to go outside and have to deal with traffic coming back into the park. Will have my rod with...
With that info I assume CA will start regulating cardiovascular health very soon like they do guns. I mean if we can save just 1 life I think we should just make sure our kids cannot “get” a...
I have been there 10 times in the last 3 years and never had a problem with my car getting broken into either. There are browns in the rapids (if you want to call it that) but the bows are getting...
Yes those bait buttons are pretty cool. Make it easy to fish barbless in almost any situation. So far my skills with a fly rod are probably a 5 out of 10 and I do actually practice at the local...
I figured I was going to get hammered on this board when I mentioned worms. Thats why it took a week to respond about my trip. I wasn’t sure if I should and even tell you all I was drifting worms. ...
A week after I got back but I wanted to share. My fly fishing skills are probably to blame for the lack of fish on the fly so I switched to conventional gear and drifted worms. My guesss was 60-70...
Haven’t been this year but over the last few years it has gone down hill. Used to be a go to spot but now not so much. I haven’t fly fished it but even with conventional gear it is tough.
Thanks Bill. Sounds like i am setup right now I just need to find the fish. The hunt continues .....
I have a 9’6” rod with floating and sink tip line. What flies do you use to target stripers? I have tried minnow and shad patterns and haven’t had much luck. Been trying to find deeper holes...
Well packing up and heading out on Wednesday. Any tips on where I should park along the river? Planning on fishing to part of the river south of Topaz Lake and around Hwy 108.
Thanks for the intel guys. I’ll report back after the trip at the end of the month
I agree and forgot that Red gets that algae bloom in the summers. I always try and have plan a, b, and c when I leave for a weekend fishing trip. Was thinking about the Truckee too but that is a...
I am planning a trip at the end of July and need some help because I have never fished that river. I know the part in CA below (to the south) of Topaz Lake is barbless and artificial which would be...
Yupp still Kiene....just stopped by. Opens tomorrow
Same question and same experience for the last couple days. I’m going to drive by the new address today and will let you know unless someone can answer the question for us.
Besides I need some...
Just wondering if you guys think color of the Shad fly makes a big difference? I was using a double fly setup yesterday and the only one that was getting bitten was a red one with a iridescent tail...
I am not a purest fly guy but I have been enjoying myself the last month getting back into sync with my fly rods. The problem is I have been getting crowded out by conventional guys fishing the...
5 hours on the West Carson nymphing and tossing spinners and even drifting worms for nothing. Better then sitting on the couch!! Hope to get up to Hat Creek in a week or two.
I’m heading to west Carson this weekend. What flies and nymphs should I bring? I’m still new to the fly fishing scene and need help picking out patterns. Plan on starting at 88 & 89 bridge and...
Went to the Herrington access for well let’s say casting practice yesterday. I didn’t catch anything but a couple guys with spinning gear landed a few in 2 hours. This was mid day 2-4pm so not...
On the American the last couple years I was using a 6’6” spinning rod with 8# test, barrel weight and about a 3’ leader. Used the small curly tail plastic grubs I think they were about 3/4” in...
