The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Yes Jay Fair is still kicking and is still the best guide for that area.

I usually rent a cabin in Spaulding, prices are reasonable.
The motel there did not have television the last time I stayed there 10 years ago.

Rust colored wiggle tails are still a good choice.

I use a floating line. usually you are fishing in water less then 6 ft deep.

From a boat, float tube, or just wading the shore are all productive methods. The fish will be in the tules.

Good luck
