I would vote against using scotch guard, Thompson's waterseal or any other kind of petroleum-based product. I did this with a few dries several years back, and when the fly hits the water, there is...

Thank you for posting this! I linked it to https://www.highsierratopix.com in their fishing section. It would be nice if Ms.Garcia's inbox was flooded with emails in opposition to this...
I was up that way maybe 15 years ago. Good Cutt fishing, but no Bulls, and it wasn't from lack of trying. The BC non-resident fishing license back then was about $55 for seven days and then the...
As I was planning my annual fishing trip to the Rockies, I was hearing tales of warm water, hoot owl restrictions, big forest fires and tons of smoke. I was deterred a bit at first, but I figured...
The EC starts in CA and eventually flows into NV. It flows more or less north east and when it gets close to Gardnerville it flows north. The water there would be even warmer than the stretch near...
Gardnerville is about 20-25 minutes away from the Hangman's Bridge. Plenty of places to park there and easy to walk downstream. The Airport is the Alpine County airport, which is little more than a...
If you are referring to salmonids, then there does not appear to be much modification to bring back pure species, just the opposite. A book came out a few years ago by Anders Halverson called "An...
That is my understanding as well. Tigers are a cross between a brown trout and a brook trout and since that doesn't happen naturally, they are indeed sterile. They exist because of "fish hatchery...
I agree that the Hailey area is much nicer than Twin Falls and it is easy to get there in a (long) day of driving. I have never rented any places to stay up there, only camped, so I don't have any...
I volunteered with the CADFW a few years back to help with an electro shocking fish count on Putah. We only did one section of the creek, pretty much 100 yards downstream from the highway bridge....
Awesome! Great photos and write up. I've only been to the Winds once and I definitely need to go back. The fishing was OK for brookies and grayling on some east slope lakes, but I've heard some good...
That is AWESOME! I saw the signs saying that it was a wolf reintroduction area, but I didn't think much about it. I would absolutely LOVE to see one of those wolves in the wild. I got a glimpse of...
Most of my fly fishing trips are focused more on a wide variety of salmonids instead of huge numbers or size of the fish. Fortunately, there are several Fish and Wildlife departments in the western...
The trout are in CA. The info is out there, it does take some research, though. Fair warning: the hike in is REALLY tough and the dues to be paid to get some of these trout are high.
There is a Japanese proverb that says: “A wise man will climb Mt. Fuji once; a fool will climb Mt. Fuji twice.” I know that where I was is no Mt. Fuji, but perhaps I still fall into the latter...
It looks like we have to wait a bit longer to find out CADFW's decision: ...
I enjoy the challenge, that there is so much to learn and every time you hit the water you have to figure out "the mystery" of how to catch fish at that time. Very often, once I've figured it out, I...
X2. Since I started using tippet rings, I through a lot fewer leaders.
For those of you that like a Fish and Wildlife sponsored salmonid slams or challenges, the latest state to offer one up is New Mexico. Details here: http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/fishing/nmtc/...
Hey John-
Yeah, I'm all about the native trout. Searching for them was required me to drive or hike into some really remote places, like you mentioned. I try and anticipate everything that might...
My typical M.O. when it comes to my big fishing trip is I travel to some Rocky Mountain State, fly fish for a couple of weeks and then swing by Oregon to see family that resides there. This time I...
Thanks for passing along the link. I spent some time typing and letting them know what I think about these new regs. We'll see if they actually do change things as a result of public input. Time will...
Glad you're back online again. :D
Hi Steve-
It sounds like you're talking about a PLB (personal Locator Beacon), right? I haven't ever used one, but I know that they can be pretty pricey and many (if not all) require a yearly...
