Fishing season: General
Tips:
Favorite lures or bait: Most Sierra creeks are too small to fish effectively with lures and spinners. Your best bet is to poke and dab using salmon eggs or worms. Small weighted jig patterns, especially grubs and very small tube worms work very well, and do not over look live terrestrials if they are allowed. If you are partial to lures bring along small Panther-Martins in a variety of colors. (See Category: Fishing Tips – Best Lures and Bait)
Favorite fly patterns: Using a poke and dab presentation, small Woolly Buggers, Girdle Bugs, Yuk Bugs and terrestrial patterns always work well on creeks. Dry fly patterns include Royal Wulffs, Parachute Adams, Humpies, Renegades, Stimulators, hoppers, ants, beetles and sometimes a Bead-head San Juan Worm. (See Category: Fishing Tips – Best Fly Patterns and Techniques. Also read the article on fishing creeks if you are new to the sport of angling.)
