Jim Stimson reports on 1.5.17

We seem to be off to good start with the weather. Here is the current local forecast. Of course, read it with a grain of salt, anything can happen but it does appear that the Sierra will be heading into a prolonged period of wet weather. For the next week the Town of Mammoth could receive 5-8 feet of snow, 12-16 feet of snow at the higher elevations! You read that...

Rick Mazaira reports on 1.5.17

This week I had the opportunity to speak the the State Water Resources Control Board along with Tim Hutchins, Sam Davidson, Cindy Charles, Kelsey Linnett and Sean O'Rourke . The good was to be able to share the negative impact low water flows have had on the fly fishing community and the fly fishing industry and get to advocate for higher flows. The bitter side was...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 1.5.17

The Lower Yuba River is blown out again. Flows reached 19,000 cfs on Wednesday evening, and are currently at 16,700 cubes. A pineapple express will engulf northern California Saturday night into Monday with heavy precipitation, and high snow levels. Many say this storm may replicate the 1997 floods with rain melting the snow that is now on the ground. We will not be...

Gilligan reports on 1.5.17

First report for ’17, and all I can say is heavy, heavy dumpage of snow here for the Truckee River.

The storm door has opened. We have over a foot here in the Hirsch, which is good for us. We get shadowed a lot and have more cold than snow usually. Up on top of the hill they have been getting pounded! We could get all of our seasons snow in just this one week- if it works...

Anthony Carruesco reports on 1.5.17

We are getting a lot more precipitation up north here than we’ve been used to the past few years. It’s stayed nice and cold for us too to keep some of that snow up in the higher elevations. As much as it hurts having to cancel trips in the winter due to rivers blowing out - It’s nice to know that this rain and snow is ensuring us a good spring and summer water...

Cory Godell reports on 1.5.17

I want to thank everyone who fished with us in 2016. And for those of you who weren’t able to make in out to the Deschutes or the Owyhee with us last year we hope to see this year. 

With all the snow we’ve been getting here in Oregon for the past month and a half, we’ve been hitting the slopes more than the river. But if you are like me, now that the holidays are over,...

Ryan Johnston reports on 1.5.17

Lower Sac- The Sac continues to fish average for winter conditions. Most days we are hooking 20ish rainbows from Redding down to Anderson. As typical we have been catching some true slugs out of the river this winter. Winter time we might not catch as many fish as the spring or the fall but if you are into hunting for big rainbows then it doesn’t really get any...

Hogan Brown Reports on 1.3.17

Lower Sachas been tough…Pays to be patient though as the fish we are catching are really good fish just not many hook ups. Though that is pretty standard for the winter. I have not been on the river since the flows dropped again from 10,000cfs so that may kick things back into gear but the cold weather can’t help either so who knows what is going to happen. It is the...

Conditions are prime!

Russian River a little high and about 1 foot of vis but fish have already been caught. 

Smith River I have heard of a number of fish caught on the Smith. 

Looking forward to getting out this weekend!
