Sorry for the belated update…been busy fishing of course! Last weekend I dusted off the ol' drift boat and floated the Yuba with my family. Bows, steel, kings occupied the best runs in the river. Big rigs, 10-15 ft leaders and 3-4 size AB's to get the flies down. Egg's and legs as they say, did the trick. The LT has been producing nice fish as well. A lot of brightly colored bows in the 16-19 inch range are being netted. You can't go wrong with BWO's or caddis. Dry fly is still hit or miss, were just waiting for the temperature to drop a bit more, high 50's is prime. On Thursday, I headed down to the NV side (east of Sparks) to find some big fish. Temp's were ideal, as well as the water clarity. Big stones, anything with legs, and very small BWO emerger patterns netted several decent size fish. Hard fighters down there…don't go lower than 5x. Here are some shots from the past few days.
Bent ass rod with cigar, love it!
