Let's Go Fly Fishing In California

There's no doubt about it that some of the best fly fishing in California is located in the northern part of the state. The Sierra Mountains provide some great scenery as well as some great rivers and streams where the fish are plentiful and the weather is great. Because the California weather is quite static, year-round fly fishing is available to the fisherman.

Located above Crowley Lake, the Owens River is one of the best places to fish for trout in California. The river is one of a kind with a gentle current that flows through a glacial valley between mountains that are 9,000 feet tall or more. At one time, the Owens River provided water and power to Los Angeles. When they converted the gorge, much of the fish died out. With a restoration of the river back to a fly fishing destination, you can now find some beautiful brown or rainbow trout at any time of the year.

The McCloud River is one of California's premier trout fisheries. This River feeds Lake Shasta and was the breeding ground for rainbow trout that was shipped all over the country to stock other rivers and streams. You can find big brown trout as well as rainbow trout in plentiful supply on the McCloud.

In Northern California, the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River provides some great fly fishing for some excellent trout. This river is one of the few places designated as wild trout waters by the state. This area receives a lot of fishing, so it's a good idea to get there early in the morning to stake out your spot. Besides the normal species of trout, this river also boasts a hybrid variety of rainbow and golden trout with bright orange sides.

Hat Creek is another great place to fly fish in California. These, too, have been designated trophy wild trout waters, and you will find plenty here. This creek is very well-suited to both beginning as well as experienced fly fishers. The banks are laden with heavy brush that provides some great hiding places for brown and rainbow trout. Much of the creek is heavily stocked, but there is some natural reproduction that takes place making Hat Creek a very easy place to fish.

If you are looking to go fly fishing in California, you have a lot of options available to you. Much of the best fly fishing would be in the northern part of the state, but you can also find many other places where fish are plentiful and challenges about. You can't go wrong with a fly fishing vacation in California.

What weight fly rod for Largemouth Bass?

I'm thinking 6 or 7. I will also be fishing for bream. Thanks
Thanks. Pheasant tail, your assumptions are correct although I will try to flish off of my bass boat some. I will be getting a Redington RS3 rod but would you recommend a g.loomis venture reel or the pflueger trion? Mac

This is not an easy question, I'm going to be basing my response by what I gleaned from your question:
1) your handle is bassmaster
2) you mentioned bream, not bluegill
I could be wrong, but I'll say you're from the South
and you'll be shore fishing or wading, this is what I'm
going to predicate my answer on.

I'd reccomend a fast action 6wt rod, 9ft in legnth.
To turn over large bass bugs,poppers,big streamers/wooly buggers and the like a fast action rod is to be preferred.
Fast action rods "flex" in the top 1/4 of the blank and have a stiffer mid and butt section, they are a good choice for times when you need to put pressure on a fish.

Another thing to take into consideration is that you CAN cast
smaller flies with a heavier weight fly rod, but you CANNOT
cast (at least well) bigger flies with a lighter weight fly rod.
Without getting technical, it's just a matter of simple physics.

A 6wt rod is a good compromise and is what I use when fishing for smallmouths in rivers and even steelhead in
smaller (20-30 ft wide) streams. I have no problems tossing
the dreaded clouser minnow, big wooly buggers, large weighted nymphs or large bulky dries (stimulators).

Depending on how much you want to spend, here are some choices based on price:

+$500 - in aphabetical order
Loomis Streamdance GLX HLS
Orvis Zero Gravity tip flex
Sage TCR (may be the fastest, but is $750)
Sage Z Axis

$200-$400 in alphabetical order
Cabela's FT - I like this rod alot, built several for customers
Loomis Metolius HLS
Orvis Power Matrix tip flex
Redington CPS
Sage FLi - great value
Sage VT2
St. Croix Legend Ultra
TFO TiCr - chintzy components

$200 and under
Echo Classic
Fenwick HMG
Redington RS3

IMHO the Sage FLi is the best value for a fast action rod,
and if you want to build the rod yourself I'd choose the Cabela's FT. Under $200 hands down is the Redington RS3

Make your decision on how much you want to spend, and if at all possible, test cast the rod before purchasing it to make sure it suits your casting style and ability.

Now that you've done that, make sure you have a good reel that balances with the rod. Fishing for Largemouth bass you will need a reel with a smooth and substansial drag. Without breaking the bank, the Orvis Mid-Arbor is tough to beat for about $125. If you want to spend under $100 the Pflueger Summit is a great value for $80.

When fishing for largemouths with big surface flies/bugs/poppers use a 9ft leader tapered to 3x
so you'll be able to turn your flies "over". Anything less
and the leader will "collapse" when casting .

Smaller flies for bluegill can be used with a 9ft leader tapered to 5x

If your pursuit is for really large bass, consider a 7wt

Tight Lines !

I'd go w/ the Trion because it is a large arbor design
