General Questions and Info

Beachbum2, sorry for the wayward steelheaders hijacking of your post, they're quite well known on this board for being a bunch of a holes. I'll second Terry's idea of Rancho Seco. It's planted pretty heavily in winter and when the 'derby' is on they put some really large ones in there. You'll need a float tube or other small watercraft to effectively fly fish it. A floating line can work but an intermediate is the ideal. Small buggers and Wiggle Tails are by far the top flies. This is also a great warm water fishery. There are dinner plate 'gills and crappie, sunfish, and largemouth that push the world record weight. Also, look at a map. Every stream coming down from the Sierras has Smallies in the lowland areas. You'll find several in your neighborhood. Happy Hunting. Ed

Ed, you sure paint with a broad brush. I am offended by your comment and i don't believe you have the cojones to call me that to my or anyone else's face. The Internet is the coward's friend.

as I suspected, albeit with an attempt at wry humor by the Commission ("we can't make it rain"):

Oddly, I might have been tempted to start steelhead fishing with the systems starting to move in....but alas...not this year.

Ok, I'll agree that was too broad, sorry. So what's up with the hijacking of a newcomers thread? Go back to post one and give the guy an answer he can use to get started.

I'm using a Medalist right now myself but I find it more quirky than I'd like. Ed

Heh heh, I think the words of wisdom from the famous Sargeant Hulka apply: "Lighten up Francis."
