All this fly tying talk. I'm breaking out the old vise. These days however, I am more interested in stripers. Time to tie some big clousers and top water foam monsters. This may end up being a...

I have caught a trout out of hot creek on a bright dot. However it's not a fly I fish there. I had it tied on from the day before and was just making a few cast before I switched to my hot creek...

Can you tilt it up a bit?

I have had a few back country trips where they wanted the sierra bright dot. The attractor patterns can be epic but its not always what they want. That being said I have never been at a high sierra...

Hydroxychloroquine has ZERO clinical studies showing it cures Covid19. It has anecdotal evidence of helping infected patients recover. Not a cure. Listen to the CDC stay healthy.
I just want to...

Please tell me the name of this medicine that cures Covid19? If you can make it and have it widely available for the public you will surely win the Nobel prize and save humanity and the economy.

COVID-19 UPDATE MARCH 26th
Attention...

I had a co-worker buy a nice live aboard in napa. We had already been in cross contamination distance for months. So seeing his new boat was ok as long as we sanitized. He asked me to come take a...

I agree my social distances would be appropriate but it's the little things like I need to gas up the boat and truck. Gas stations are a hub for transmission of germs. (Pro tip: Wear gloves at the...

As much as I was hoping to go out and was planning on it. I'm calling it off. If this is serious enough to shutdown the state then I can be responsible and stay home and work on the house. Some...

Had to go over the Benicia bridge to pick up some supplies and saw 3 boats out for sturgeon. I think fishing is exactly what I will be doing this weekend for social isolation. Would like to hear...

All sorts of colors on your Yozuri's. Any produce better than others?

To expand on Hookems post. He talks about getting his kids involved of all aspects of boating and fishing this is important. Kids want to learn, and making sure that they are involved in the whole...

I was planning on never responding to this post ever, but coming from a miltary family and seeing the response it's sad. I saw my grandfather have his Medicaid cut because his service injury didn't...

Just going drop this here. Two party system is broken. No side has the solution. All I ask is that we have a moral law abiding President. Not too much to ask. Know I will get lit up for this in...

Very unlikely. Unless they really just wanted to steal the 16mm nut and not the prop. Does not make sense.

This fall has been slower than normal for me as well. Spring bite was 10x better this year.

We were through the gate. I think our success had to do with good bait and location. We had a variety of scent pouring out of every pot. Salmon heads, halibut carcasses, squid and chovie/herring...

Opener was fantastic for us. Sat the offshore wind made things a bit more sporty than the forecast mentioned but got our limits easy pulling 6 pots for 40 jumbos. Sunday was even better with an...

Thanks all. Yeah it is just those o'dark 30 departures duck hunting that make me think about safety. Life jackets and smart decisions is my motto. I have run boats for 20 years but the delta can be...

I recently purchased a 17ft aluminum tracker John boat style. Setup for both bass and duck hunting. My question is with the low freeboard what do you all consider safe swell and wind conditions in...

Yup, it's a good time. Get yourself a 9wt and some clouser patterns and start casting. It helps to have a basket on a belt or a bucket at your feet to help control stripped line.

How many of you tie your topwater straight to the braid? I always have a 20lb leader off my braid. Is this necessary?

Jealous of those albie carcasses. My one chance for tuna evaporated last Sunday do to weather conditions. Now the water pulled back. I will be crabbing through the gate and looking forward to...

Thanks @dsa2780 I will be trying those flukes. Tough for me to justify baits over 25 bucks a pop.
