Northern California: , by Andrew Harris: Snow!: 3 stars We've had a bit of a cold spell up here in northern California. Our guide school students have taken the weather in stride, though. On Sunday we fished the Pit and Burney Creek. Both rivers produced fish. A brown rubberlegs and a size 12 prince nymph worked great. Burney Creek is high but very fishable. Same for the Pit River. With the high flows it's much harder to get around, but every pocket that isn't raging fast has a fish or two in it. On Wednesday the weather is supposed to change and we're anticipating nice warm spring weather by Thursday. A lot of the big bugs (green drakes, giant stoneflies) are still yet to hatch, so late May and early June should be pretty awesome. Fall River is in great shape and has excellent hatches of PMDs mid-day.
