Awesome report and photos! Thanks for sharing!

The snow never was.

It's open throughout it's length.

Watch the water temps as Bill says though. Might be a little chilly this week.

This one.

If we are out fishing and we go fishing, we go fishing. Walk and wade, my water or theirs, etc.

If a guide buddy takes their boat, and their rig, etc...then like any friend I pay...

Oh yeah, I should also point out that even when I fish with a guide that's a buddy I PAY THEIR FREIGHT....meaning of course I buy lunch, provide snacks, give money for gas, pay shuttles, access fees,...

I've had this conversation with one of my best friends, who incidentally is considered pretty much undisputedly the best guide in my local area.

He always gets $60 from me, regardless of the day....

Sold! Lock it up!

Sold! Lock it up!

This is a brand new fly line, still in the package.

Sells for $90 literally everywhere.

Buy now for $65/shipped. FYI, I bought this brand new from Kiene's in February and never used it--and...

Never sold these, so still looking at getting them sold.

FYI, either $$$ Face to face in Elk Grove, CA or Paypal plus shipping....

Bill:

Seems like a perfect boat for someone north of redding perhaps? I know if I lived up north this would be on my list....

Eggs, Mono, weight, bobber. That's all you need to know for the fall, right? :)

I've only caught a dozen or so adults on the Trinity--so take this with a grain of salt--but the majority of them came on the surface. So yes, it can be done and it is effective.

Bill, I take it you haven't been to the San Francisco Fly Casting Club?

The clubhouse living room is a veritable museum of the origins of California fly fishing (and Truckee river fly fishing in...

What a beautiful wild summer run fish. Good on ya!

Yes, any switch rod is too big for 12-15" trout.

That said, Two hand fishing is not about the fight. It's about the cast, presentation, tug, and method.

Jeff C, your fish looks eerily similar to this one....definitely looks like the same run/type of fish.

Aron:

The Portland/southern washington runs starts heating up right now. Long way to drive, but there's fish...

Great trip report. Thanks for sharing.

Two winter fish is a season. Consider yourself done good!

I use my 5119 TCX and a rage with a home-made leader (maxima 20-15-10) for dry fly work, and then add a clear int. tip for sub-surface work for fall fish.

Typically, though, I'll go through once...

Actively seeking sponsors. Donations available to my paypal account. ;)

The yuba was my first swinging river experience. First it was with a single hander swinging softies just under the surface during a caddis hatch, then it graduated to full blown two hander fishing. ...

My favorite is fishing in the rain. People ask "are you really going fishing in this downpour" and I reply "the fish are already wet, they don't care about a little rain"

Jason--no argument here. And I'm a golfer. (or used to be)
