Bugs – The Blue Wing Olive Mayfly. The last few times that I’ve fished the Lower Yuba River I have run into a fairly strong hatch of Blue Wing Olives or BWO. 8217;s as we affectionately call them, most of the time I call them “those darned BWO. Anyway, this brings me to thinking about what I should be attempting to do when the BWO. 8217;s start coming off and start catching some fish instead of laughing at my buddies. Entomology of the Blue Wing Olive Mayfly. 8211; Baetis, Diphetor, Acentrella, Plauditus.

Fishing Techniques from the Fly Fishing Traditions Blog. This page will share articles and specific Fishing Techniques from the Fly Fishing Traditions Blog. Last winter, in November, I took part in a Spey Clinic on the Lower Yuba River with Ryan Miller and Adrian Putsey. It was a warm and clear fall day, which was spectacular. I’m talking about the weather and could use the same expression for the clinic. I guess I could also use the words, informative, enthusiastic, fun, enlightening. On my last article...

Chasing Steelhead and Monster Trout. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Smallmouth on the Fly. I lifted the rod and hooked into the smallmouth bass pictured here. It was 16" long, fat like a football, and easily the heaviest smallie I've ever caught. I got another little smallie about 8" long that completely inhaled my streamer. I've read that Lake Natoma at one time was considered a great smallmouth fishery, and we are definitely going to target them more often. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Chasing Steelhead and Monster Trout. Thursday, August 4, 2011. Me and the family decided to go camping for a few days, so we headed up to Truckee and camped on the Little Truckee River at Boyington Mill Site. The weather was outstanding, the fish were flying out of the water chasing emergers, and I figured out fairly early what would work. We hit the Truckee River on Thursday on a side trip into town, but at midday the water was too warm, gotta hit it early or late. Labels: Boyington Mill Site.
