Current conditions on the Lower Yuba River have the flows back down to 1,070 cubes, and the water has some color to it with about 3 feet of visibility to it. Deer and Squirrel creeks are running fairly clear for the most part so the source of stained water derives from the upper forks of the Yuba River entering Englebright reservoir. 3 feet of visibility is all...

As of this post, rain is falling in the watershed and the river is forecast to begin rising overnight. Flows had dropped and stabilized with a nice green color and 4-5 ft of visibility near Healdsburg, and 2-3 ft near Guerneville. Tonight’s rain will likely make for rising water, followed by poor clarity, until early next week. We should see an increase in action...

Delta fishing is really good and seems to be improving with each time out. There are more fish and the average fish are larger. t'sWe must have a fresh run of fish that have come up from the Bay. New fish seem to hit harder and are much more aggressive. We are catching them on large Clouser minnows and using both fast sinking and intermediate lines. I have quite...

More unseasonably warm and dry weather this week in S. Oregon continues to keep the upper Rogue flowing low and clear. Fortunately, we’re now seeing a mix of late summer and winter steelhead in the system. As is the case every year, my season slows down considerably after Thanksgiving even though the Rogue supports a robust winter run of almost entirely wild fish....

The flows have dropped to 1,096 cubes on the Lower Yuba River. Water clarity is 2 feet and clearing. It should be a nice weekend on the river before more rain arrives.

She’s blown! Report below, pictures attached.

The dominate ridge of high pressure finally left the west coast allowing for the storm door to open last week. We got a...

Yuba Dry Fly Game

It has been a pretty incredible start to the year on the Lower Yuba.  This has been the best winter dry fly fishing I have ever seen when it comes to the action.  I think a lot has to do with the weather we had all December.  The warm days produced great hatches of the BWOs.   The fish responded well.  

Lately it has stayed steady until this week....

Had the boys from Lost Coast Outfitters & Painted Parrot come down and hang out over the weekend and man did we have a good time. I had the privilege to show them around some of our local beaches and we got to capture some great footage. Knowing the high tide wasn’t until early afternoon(4ft@2PM), we spent most of the morning exploring some gorgeous coastline and...

Delta Striper fishing is rated good for fly fishing. This week I spent two days on the Delta and thought the fishing was pretty good for numbers as well as quality. The water temperature is rising as we have had unseasonably warmer temperrature as well as warm rains. The water temps are hovering from 50 to 53 degrees. I have been using large flies and the fish are...

Mammoth Mountain received anywhere from a foot to a foot and a half of new snow on Monday-Tuesday, depending on whether they measured the depth or if they measured a patch of snow lengthwise. Regardless, we did get some new snow, the peaks look nice with the fresh dusting. The snow line was high so all of the road access to fishing is still okay, though perhaps a...

Finally a little rain and snow.

Kinda what we needed to give a little spark to the Truckee River.

Flows doubled up overnight the other night and are now back down. It will come up with this storm. So expect some higher muddy water until about Friday. Good, that’s what you want. Not the stagnant conditions we had all month of December. It’s much warmer now...
