July 30, 2011Clavey River, CA
Went flyfishing with my family to Bell meadow, to the headwaters of the Clavey River. We fished for three hours before heading out. We caught three rainbows and one brook trout. The flies used were Stimulators and Hare's Ear Nymphes. I caught two rainbows, my dad one rainbow and the brookie went to my mom.

Went fishing to Bell Creek (near Pinecrest, CA) on 7/8/11 with my friend Darrel. It was his first time fly fishing.
Where: Bell Creek at Crabtree Trailhead
Who: Jon and Darrel
What: 9 Brook Trout (8 for me and 1 for Darrel)
Pattern: VFG Nymph
We fished for five hours along about a quarter of a mile stretch of the creek, near the parking lot for Crabtree Trailhead. I caught my eight trout all out of an eddie behind a large boulder partly lying in the river. The fish were small, the biggest being 9 inches long. But there were plenty and they were hungry!

The past week myself and my scout troop have been kayaking down the russian river north of Santa Rosa, CA.
We fished the Russian River at Alexander Valley campground on 6/23 and 6/24. During those two days we caught, between three fisherman, 16 fish. All the fish were a rare species for the coastal mountains called a whitefish.
Whitefish are a bottom feeding member of the salmon family native to the western half of North America.
The fish hit small nymphes and dries from sizes 12-16. The takes were violent and the fishing fun. I caught 5, my friend Zac 6, and his dad Troy 5. All fish but one were released unharmed, the other was fried for dinner that night. The picture is of Zac with the fish that was cooked.

Spend the day fishing with my friend Darrell, my mom, and Darrell's wife. We fly-fished at right about dawn but managed to not hook a single fish. As the day started to heat up we kept right on fishing until we had to come in at about lunch time. By then we had managed to bring in 4 fish between the four of us(2 for me, one for Darrell and one for my mother).
Number of Fish Caught: 2

Fished Lily Creek just below the log dam at Bear Lake, caught two trout, 1 rainbow and 1 Brookie. Fished for about an hour or two, but conditions worsened and we had to head out.
