Wind, Rain, Snow & Fishing

Weather played a big role in the fishing since the last post; never the less, the waters are still fishing good.  Head hunting on Fall River has paid off big, with the best day for drys being the day that the snow was coming down so hard you could hardly see the fly!  There have been a number of fish taken in the 19- to 20- inch range using  a dark olive body dunn tied with a black or purple wing.  They tend to show up better on gray days when tied that way.  Hat Creek has been doing well … [Read more...]

A Day on Baum Lake

Unlike the economy, the fishing seems to be on the up-swing. I just fished Baum Lake with a friend of mine who works at Fall River Outfitters, the new sporting goods shop in Fall River Mills. The fishing was real good - a successful day with landing at least two dozen nice Browns! The Calabaetis have not yet started, but it won’t be long. The fish seemed to be very eager to take any nymph we swung or fished under the indicator. There was not a huge amount of fish on top but those that were there … [Read more...]

Big Trout on the Fall River

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...]

“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...]

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...]
