Went up to the Delta near Stockton for a couple of days. Took some rods including a #6 fly rod, and a wide assortment of flies (floatable, nymph-type, and various others. Got in a lot of practice, hooked into a couple of small mouth from what I could see, three LM, fortunately not too large. (Weird to say that, but the leader and tippet was only 6lb and 3 lb respectively). What a sensation getting a fighter on a fly rod. Great experiment, will get better at finding the right fly for the conditions and situation. There was a lot of weed, a lot! Early morning and still evenings are best I found for the insect feeders.

Can't beat the feel of a fish on a fly rod!

Agree. I probably had the wrong flies - some shown on websites were very different than those I had. But, it was fun for sure. The wind was up later in the day, so I had to caste on the lee side of the islands.
I’m going up to Redding to fly fish on the Sacramento River (new to me) - apparently the trout are rising very nicely. We are using a guide for one day. Expensive but they know what to look for and are dialed into the food chain.

Nice Fishinfoolyes! I have an old fly rod I haven’t used in 30 yrs. You’ve inspired me and I may have to drag it out and play with it a bit, maybe even actually fish with it !
