Fall Fishing Update

Wow...what a season we've had!  We have fished through every type of weather from cold, rainy days  through 100 degree heat waves and every system in between!  The last few days have been warm, but for the most part I think we are well on our way to Autumn.  With Autumn comes the tail-end of our general season, so I thought it was high time to post an update on the Nor-Cal fishing... Fall River- The Fall has been really good...we've picked up good numbers of fish, fairly good-sized, too.  To … [Read more...]

Big Trout on the Fall River

fall-river-rainbow-trout

Fall River has been kicking out some really big fish lately, and in good numbers. The weeds are starting to come up higher in the water column, which means the break-off has started. The days are starting to get hotter and longer, which also means the window on the dry fly fishing is starting to slow down a little. However, when one window closes another one opens, and so does the opportunity for other styles of fishing. Here is one of my favorites…. Most people - if given the chance - will … [Read more...]

Small, Thin, and Simple Flys

As a guide, one of the things that I dread to do the most is to come home late after guiding all day and have to tie flys!  So, I have learned to make them simple and fast... something that I like to call "guide patterns."  This might be something as easy as using thread to tie the bodies of my midges or smaller drys.  Another 'fast' tip is to keep the glitz and glitter down in order to speed things up a bit.  One of the first things that I notice while looking into other peoples' fly boxes is … [Read more...]

“Off the Beaten Path”

Art Teter - Fall River Fly Fishing

The major fisheries - Fall River, Pit River, McCloud, and Sacramento River system – seem to get hit with the majority of the fishing traffic. However, there are many out-of-the-way destinations that do not receive the fishing pressure that blue-ribbon streams seem to get. The fish may not always be as big, but they are as plentiful and just as eager to take a fly! As with all trout fishing areas, these waters are often hidden away in the back country. They may take a little more effort to reach … [Read more...]

Spring Fever in Northern California

Well, it's hard to tell if winter is over or if it just hasn't yet got under way! Whatever it is, these spring-like conditions have been pretty good for the fishing and fishing conditions. The Lower Sacramento is fishing well and Baum Lake is doing EXCELLENT! I took a drive up to Lake McCumber and there was still a lot of ice up there. When it breaks up enough to fish, it looks like the lake itself will be low. The Trinity River is in dire need of rain in order to get a fresh run of fish coming … [Read more...]

Northern California’s Winter Trout

Lower Sacramento River With Art Teter

It seems like after the general trout season is over, people put there trout rods away and head for their favorite piece of steelhead water.  Last year the Northern California river of choice was the Trinity River with a run of some 60,000 fish!  The only thing that could equal that was the number of anglers that showed up to fish it.  This season, however, the fishing on that river has been more realistic and back to normal.  Steelheading is a lot like duck hunting.  If the birds aren’t down … [Read more...]
