The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Well, spent 5 days in norcal this past weekend. Fished Feather, Hat up by Lassen and Silver Fork of the American on Monday (Mon. was free fishing day, caught 2 and missed a bunch of strikes, and they was all FREE). Fishing was slow, probably because of the minor heat wave and warmer water. My brother hooked into a pretty large trout up by the long tunnel near Cresta on Feather (16" ?) but it broke him off or threw the hook right away (we were fishing legal with small barbless hooks). My first fish there, suprisingly, was a small bass about 8".

Tied a few flies for a friend up in Seattle area. He did pretty good over Labor Day weekend with those flies up on the Kettle R. about 1/2 mile below Canada border. Caught his biggest fish on a peacock trude I threw in the box as an afterthought. Feel pretty good about that!
