Stripers on the fly on the Stanislaus river 5/3/2013 (non-Yak)

The Stanislaus River is currently at 3,000cfs, a little high for the yak. Got out for a bit after work. Managed one 16 incher on the flyrod.

Cool looking water, I haven't fished down that way yet.

Cute little one.  Thanks for the report and pictures Bill.

The flow is supposed to drop to 1,00cfs after may 10th. At that point the fly fishing should be ideal. It's a great spot to fly fish because the channel isn't very wide so there's no need for 100 foot long casts.

That's cool Bill.
What part of the Stanislaus where you on.
I was down on the river Sunday not fishing just enjoying the floating scenery.    

We Launched at Jacob Meyer's Park and Drove upstream. Some of the best Striper fishing I have had is between Jacob Meyer and McHenry Rec.
