The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Had some buddies come up to learn to fish yesterday and we headed off to the West Carson. I have driven past the WC many times, but never fished it until yesterday. Pretty little river for sure. After a kind of slow start we started getting into fish. We even had a hatch of largish light colored mayflies around 1 or so. My two new fly fishing friends landed 1 and 3 fish, their first on flies. Pretty cool stuff. I landed a grand slam... brookie, brown, rainbow, which was fun as well.

We then went to a private pond that I got permission to fish and had a lot of fun catching Large Mouth Bass and Bluegill. Lots and lots of fun doing that and my two buddies racked up more fish to hand and new species on a fly rod. I threw some deer head/rabbit fur streamer and was really amazed at how lifelike it was... it really swam like an injured bait fish. The fish agreed and I must have landed 30... what a great, great day!

Happy Fathers' Day!

It was a long day, spent driving back from Lake Davis, through Truckee, then Reno, and back over Carson Pass. Stopped into Cabela's to get lunch and did some walking around. Luckily for me more walking than shopping.
