I had another great day in the Ten Mile area of Lewiston Lake. I tied a bunch of peacock patterns last night, only to find that I should have tied 12’s and 14’s instead of 10’s. Oh well. There was not a lot of activity of fish jumping out of the water as seen the…

A Gentleman and a Scholar on the Water.
I fished in the 10 Mile area again today, for four hours. I was using the Black Mohair Sparkle Leech that was in my last post. I hit the area at 1:00 in the afternoon. There were 3 fly fishermen in a pram and two pontoon boats in the center of the 10 Mile area….
Fishing is going well at Lewiston
Not the best picture above, but it was taken with my phone. I misplaced my Olympus TG4 waterproof camera somewhere in my house several months ago. After searching very hard, I purchased a Fuji XP120 at about 1/3 the cost of a new TG4/5. I figured I would find the TG4 after I had a…
I’m Back. July Fishing
Okay. I’ve been living in Lewiston California for 9 months. Lots of things have happened since my last post, but I have my health so all is well. I’ve started July 1 as the start of my fishing year, and I’ve been on Lewiston Lake fishing 8 of the last 10 days. The net above…
The Herniator
My friend, Mike K., used to own the Eureka Fly Shop for 30 years, retiring from the business a year ago. Mike guides on the lower Klamath from August to November. The fly that he swears by is known as the Herniator. If you come from the coast to fish the Klamath and / or…
Fun Trip To San Diego Part 2
On the second family day of our vacation in San Diego, Alex, Julie, and their mother, Nan, joined me in enjoying the SD Zoo Safari Park (formally the Wild Animal Park). Nan and I went there a couple of time 30+ years ago as my field research for my Masters program was located near San…
Fun Trip To San Diego Pt 1
A lot has happened in the last 3 weeks. I joined my kids, Alex and Julie, in San Diego over the weekend of October 18 – October 22, along with their mother, Nan. Alex flew down to celebrate his 30th birthday. Julie was in town presenting a poster paper at an international genetics conference. Their…
My New Home Waters Fly Shop
My new home waters fly shop: The Trinity Fly Shop. I’ve been stopping in a couple of days each year to gain current fishing information. I didn’t fish the river much as I was usually here in the summer, fishing out of my boat on Lewiston Lake. However, I was always treated as if I…
I Went Fishing, Again
Well, I took a day off from fishing to rest my legs, and back, and hips, and brain. I drove yesterday down to the last place I fished on the Trinity River about 5 years ago. The riffle above leads into a glide on the far edge. There is a small pool formed between me…
I Went Fishing
Today I had my first time on the Trinity River since I became a full time resident of Trinity County. There was only about 4 feet visibility because of a slide near the fish hatchery on Thursday. Above is a picture of paradise, also known as the stretch of river near Junction City with my…
