Baja, NCL- replied to you both about the same time. If there's another buyer for one of you, cool. If not, don't want to leave you guys hanging and I'll take 'em both and to give one to a buddy.

You could mix it up a little and use the Upper Sac as your basecamp, but hit the McCloud for a day or two. My general plan is to hit the Upper Sac on the way to the Mac, fish Ah Di Na for a couple...

If I haven't come across one by then, I'll be sure to give you a shout!

Thanks, Darian. There's a similar product that I'll probably end up with, the Sealevel, but I'm hoping to score a Mangrove.

Hey gang,

I've been looking into stripping baskets and think the Mangrove looks ideal for my needs (MD/DE/NJ surf fishing) and stripping style (definitely down and to the left) but as they're no...

Jerry, where'd you hear that? My understanding is that this is a three day-ish pulse to clean gravel beds that haven't seen high flows in years, and also that Shasta is so likely to fill that we may...

Showing up way late, guys, but as a longtime salmonid catch and release guy in the Valley who now lives in the heart of striper territory, I'm just going to leave this graphic here and state...

10864I'd head North, swing by and see Bob Grace at Ted Fay, then cruise down to Ah Di Nah. Pop a brew when you hit the dirt road - if it ain't spillin' then you're not going too fast. Put in some...

I've seen plenty of pop ups down there, a little caution on the way in and you should be fine. Tip: concentrate on not spilling the Mt. Shasta Brewing Mountain High IPA in your hand, and that will...

Let's not do this here, please.

The federal government/UN/etc. is not spraying rural California with weather-/mind-/whatever-controlling chemicals.

Mike Powers at American was an absolutely fantastic guy, though I don't think he's worked there for a while. Mike got me into Winstons after we spent an hour, easy, fooling around with eight or so...

In terms of learning about our region's larger trout rivers, Seth Norman's Flyfisher's Guide to Northern California is a must-have. Another great one is Stephen Haggard's Fly Fishing the Tahoe...

Pretty skinny, but a nice small-stream experience. You might have a bit of trouble getting around due to brush and gradient, and Squaw Valley Creek could be a more interesting option. However, if you...

Bill,

They are running in the Potomac right now, mixed in with the American shad. They're smaller but still a blast to catch. There's a third shad out here, the gizzard shad, which has a much...

I've been slaying 'em a few days a week for the last two weeks - swinging a skagit w/ intermediate or fast sink tip, pink, white or chartreuse Bloody Maria-ish flies, most takes on the swing. It's...

Having recently moved to DC from Sac while continuing to fish in CA, I've flown several times with a an 11', switch rod four piece rod tube in hand with no problems. It's my "personal item",...

Holy cow, I'm out here in DC, receive my Cal Fly Fisher (lifesaver!) and who's on the cover with a great looking American steelhead but Andy G! Too cool.

Damn. I leave town in January, guess I won't get out there again.

Price dropped to $150.

Price lowered to $150. I've got about two weeks and do need to part with this.

Hey all, I've got to part with a few things due to a pending move to the East Coast. In effect I'm trading the American and steelhead for the Potomac and, um, carp? If that sounds like a good deal to...

Dec Hogan's very thorough book in excellent condition. Moving and need to thin the herd a bit, otherwise I wouldn't part with it.

Goes for $60 new, I'd like $40. Preferably Sacramento pickup,...

Jed, I'm with you on that one. My buddies and I put in a hell of a lot of time with not much in the way of returns. Granted I fish the lower river almost exclusively, but it can be rough on the...

Very cool photos, Tony. Can I ask for any tips you might have on what sort of water to fish and whatnot? Tailouts, drop-offs below riffles and similar places?

I'd be interested in some thoughts from the board as to how to target salmon with a fly rod, single- or double-handed. I've been swinging big egg sucking leeches and streamers with a fast sinking...
