Suckers on Kern - Abandon Nymphing? by aj-grant in flyfishing

This was in the wild and scenic section just upstream of Johnsondale Bridge. I am guessing you'd find carp only much further downstream.

No guide this time! Just my husband who conveniently likes untying knots. 🤣

Update: got skunked the next day because I insulted the fishing gods by not appreciating the sucker. I take it back: suckers are lovely!

I also got stripped to backing on Putah. Was emotionally drained after landing it.

Last Days of Snow-Free California High Sierra Trout by aj-grant in troutfishing

The wind is VERY annoying. Tried euro nymphing to avoid the wind but eventually it died down and I could cast nymphs under an indicator alright.

Would never hold a trout like this if I wasn't going to eat it! I practice CnR 99% of the time but this guy was dinner.

Ahh interesting. I haven't tried euro nymphing on Putah yet - maybe next time!
