The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Fall Fishing. This weekend Fall definitely took center stage over fishing.

Hit the Truckee Sat afternoon. I do believe I saw Frank (CyberFly) guiding. I did not stop to chat as Frank seemed pretty engaged with his client. But I gotta say Frank was doing a great job from what I could tell.

Anyway, never saw a fish rise in time I was there. I fished from about 1-3. I fished a double nymph steup with a bobicator (YIKES first time bobber fishing in a long time). But it was effective. I got a few grabs and one fish, along with lots of hangups for fishing with 2 weighted nymphs. Most successful were a October Caddis Pupae, and a Prince. The day continued to warm up (up to about 67) and though it seemed like there would be a hatch any moment, it did not happen. I checked a few spots and it was all quiet on the western front.

But the fall color was spectacular. I seem to be picking up the camera as often as the rod now. Sat AM the Mrs, faithful oggie doogie, and I went on an archaeological walk at the George Donner campsite. Very cool.


This is the meadow where they supposedly camped (looking out towards Prosser and beyond the hill the Little Truckee). Folks are working this history hard, but there seems little evidence remaining to base any new conclusions on.


So we decided to drive home the back way, through Sierraville, Sierra City, Downieville, and Nevada City, and all I can say is nature was in all its glory!

This is along 89 not too far north of Truckee.



Believe it or not, this was literally right across the street from the first pic.


This was on 49 heading to the pass.


This was down further in the canyon along the Y.


Get out there now! Fall is a great time of year.

EDIT...

Thanks for note below Greg \/ \/ \/

OK Here is what I figured out. NCFFB will let you post ONE pic from your hard drive and it will post it for you (I assume somewhere on the NCFFB website). But for MORE THAN ONE, we need to provide website, not just a file location on our computer.

I think I am good now.

Hey Robert - nothing really new with posting pics. You have to host them on the web somewhere (try using your profile - there is an option there to do that) and then you can "rlight click" the image when you are viewing it to get the URL path. You can cut/paste that inbetween the tags.

When you post you have the option of uploading one picture - but for multiple pics, you need to host them somewhere on the web (nothing new here).

I noticed that right now in your post (from looking at the "edit view") that you are referencing the pics like this:
d:\data\rburks\Desktop\Pics\Post Pics\Fall4.JPG
This won't work because they are still on your computer (and not the web somewhere).

Hope this helps!
