It’s been nothing short of a festival at Putah Creek!  Henna-tattooers, face painters, and hula-hoopers;  partying glitter-faced people in costumes with glow-in-the-dark everything;  interpretive fly fishing happens at Putah Creek.  Fishing is great!
Nymphing, with or without an indicator, will result in consistent hook-ups. Streamer fishing has been as good as it gets...

Florida Keys 

March in the Florida keys is certainly an interesting time for fly fishing. Rotating wind patterns has made the fishing inconsistent, usually, the wind that comes from the east is best for feeding fish. 

A mild cold front has come in last week but tarpon has started to show up in the backcountry. Due to the high winds, we have been able to have permit 6...

Lower Yuba

The Lower Yuba River was fishing really well with the continued success that I have been getting my guests into for the last few months, then heavy rain slammed the northern California region and the river blew out big time. On the 14th the Yuba got up to 7,627 cubes, while Deer creek reached 2,859 CFS adding a whole bunch of muddy water. Typical of this...

Russian River

1.22 inches of rain at the Sonoma County Airport in the last 24 hours has the Russian River rising fast.

    The steelhead season is all but over.  With this storm putting the Russian out of shape until April.  Although fresh fish are occasionally caught, the low returns this year don’t hold much promise for a late season fish.

By the middle of next month,...

Monterey Surf

We have been getting out a lot these past few weeks and the fishing has been great for the most part. Last weekend we had plenty of perch on the deck with a few nice stripers in the 16- 22" class.

These fish have most likely washed out of the local tributaries into Monterey Bay and are cruising the shore chowing on sand crabs. I’m starting to see a few...

Delta

Delta Striper fishing has been good & should keep getting better as Spring spawn approaches. April & May are shaping up to be prime on the Delta so book your adventures soon. Water temperatures are currently 55 degrees & warmer weather will continue to warm the Delta. The fish have been biting pretty good some days & tougher other days but we have seen a few...

Lower Sac

 We’ve been getting pounded this week with rain along with an
impressive amount of snowfall accumulation in the higher mountain
areas above Redding. This precip is desperately needed all over the
State and it’s good to see that many regions in CA received their fair
share. We’ll take as much as Mother Nature is willing to dish out.
As for fishing this week… I dodged...

Kevin DeGulis reports on 3.16.18

San Francisco Bay has been heating up this past week. The shallow estuary is an ideal spawning ground for various migrating species.
Areas near the Golden Gate Bridge have been most productive for halibut and surf perch. 

To catch these, use OPST laser line and the Rio outbound short shooting head sink 3. As for flies, clouser chartreuse, deceiver chartreuse, stay...

Lower Sac 

The Lower Sac has showed us some extremely good fishing since the last update. Hatches of PMDs and spring Caddis have been driving the fishing most days. The last few days out; the hatches have started to wane quite a bit with fewer and fewer bugs coming off. The fish have certainly gotten a little bit quicker so having a ninja quick set will do you...
