Fishing SF Bay Area

I'm completely new to the whole fly fishing consumer market (please read
with intended sarcasm). I live in San Francisco. I'd like to know if
there's anywhere within 30 miles to cast my line and actually catch a fish.
I'm looking for someplace with a small stream or a stocked lake or pond.
Don't laugh too hard when you read this. Thank you.

Try Lake Bon Tempe in Marin County.

Summer is the wrong time of year for the Russian River. You have
already missed the (puny) shad run. Flows are regulated for the
recreational user, not the fishermen from Memorial day through labor
Day.

Do you know how far the RUssian River is from you? I hear it has a good
shad/steelhead/salmon run.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out Lake Bon Tempe. I also
appreciate the info on the Russian River. Since I'm new to this whole
thing, any help at all is a great help.
