Just came back from Norway, and did a lot of saltwater fly fishing in northern Norway. You will have options for fishing trout in streams and rivers, but it's too late, and you may not be wealthy...

If we are bragging big truckee trout on dries, I advise February and March mid afternoon. Watch the temp gauge like a hawk, and fish the peak temp time after walking a bit. There is nothing like a...

Fluorocarbon effectively does not degrade, with the C-F bond the strongest possible bond for organic molecules.. Given the many decades and centuries it will last, consider whether you personally...

Incidentally, those were my first two steelhead ever, on my second steelhead fishing trip!

First trip there I landed two on the swing, back to back days. Next 10 years and counting, still haven't taken down the third. Goes to show you that you never know.

In my opinion, the EC has definitely declined over the last few years. definitely seeing smaller and fewer fish in my time there. Still some there for sure, but it doesn't get my blood pumping...

Just pretend you are a poor caster and basically out of control with your casting.. add large splitshot, triple up your droppers, and make nearby people within casting distance nervous for their...

I can't believe you are only seeing rattlers near dark there, every time I go I seem to see them all day long seemingly everywhere. One year my partner and I saw 5 different ones on one day, and I...

If you don't have some unique college years experiences burned into your memory for far longer than your first couple of steelies on the swung fly (as cool as that is), let me tell you that you are...

Anyone know if the lower Yuba got muddy again with this latest rainstorm? Trying to see if its worth the trip..

Thanks!

I'd say whatever you do, run the cost of ownership calculation with $7-8/gal gas, and maybe even $10/gal, because thats what it will cost in the last few years of your ownership. Make sure you are...

Just for the global warming sarcasm earlier.. No one winter or even series of winters has anything to do with a globally averaged climate. Mentioning global warming in the context of a big storm or...

As for real advice: Big fish are just the same as little fish, don't treat them or think of them any differently and you'll get them in. Its nervous hands and the death grip and worry of losing a...

By far, the most important factor in landing a big fish is to insure that you leave your camera at home.

I no longer bring a camera with me, and I seem to land nearly ALL the big ones once...

FYI, the LT is running close to 700, and scheduled to go over 1000 cfs in the next week. Neat to see the flooding happening up in the Truckee region, though its going to whack lots of the fishing...

Fluorine is the most electronegative atom in the periodic table, thus carbon in carbon-fluorine bonds is extremely electron poor because the fluorine pulls all the electron density to itself in these...

A couple boy scout groups have also been using the UC access over the last two months for entire weekend campout/fishing trips, in addition to the fishing club trips.

UC Davis access report from last saturday..

As I said, all the public access these days is through local fly fishing club trips. Clubs were there last Saturday, they will be there this coming Saturday. Contact any of the local Central...

For the record, I advocate you going and making the walk upstream as well. UC will not hassle fisherman on the river, other landowners in the area are less friendly, and most land along the river is...

Equipment is frequently within 100 yards, and sometimes within 100 feet, of the fishing access road. Not always obvious, but there if you know what to look for. Flagged sites often extend to the...

Also, it is not the UC property where you first trespass by walking upstream, it is the first big cliff band downstream of the UC property where the upstream walking angler first trespasses. No...

I actually participate in research projects on the UCD property, and have a quite different perspective about the effects of unlimited public access there. How would you feel if you had $100K+ of...

I caught a nice brown about 20" about 3 weeks ago up near the narrows on the Lower Yuba. First one in 8 or so years of fishing there.

DL,

With all due respect, you still seem focused on one small area, and what I consider the smaller picture. I won't argue the merits of CR and individual impacts on certain places, even for...
