FF close to SF in April?
 
Quick question: is there any fly fishing a drivable distance from San
Francisco in April? My vague feeling is that the logical closest areas
(the sierras is where I went last year) don't really start until July.


Am I wrong? Is there someplace good I might get to with a reasonable
drive (and/or hike) from SF in april?

Thanks, Tim

Have you considered fishing sal****er ? I would guess that striped
bass should still be in the bay in April.

....how about the Russian river, probably less than a hundred miles north of
San Fran.

Normally there would be a few options .... THIS year the water is very high,
thus far, at the ones I sometimes visit

http://www.ncffb.org/

So is everything blown out, as far as you know?

Thanks for the info, guys. I'll take a look at that website...

Now is not April, but, now you'd be hard pressed to find anything too
exciting. The general season won't be open yet in April but there are
several decent to good streams that are open all year ( or only closed Oct
to Jan for salmon ). I live very near one of those, the Stanislaus, and it
is currently VERY high and dirty, my guess is that all the others are too
.....as I said .. now..... but things change fairly fast

If I am still in this part of the world in April I will be going up to
Clear Lake. I haven't been there for years but in my misspent youth I
caught many bass, crappies and bluegills while floating around in the
tulies.
I understand now it suffers (like all Califonia) from to many people.
April can be to early or just right, depends on the weather.

Don't eat the bass from Clear Lake -- mercury poisoning.

I suggest that you ask Bill Kiene what fishing is available in April --
.
