Front cover of California Fly Fisher - January 2026 magazine issue

California Fly Fisher - January 2026 : The Winter 2026 issue of California Fly Fisher celebrates the seasonal diversity of the Golden State's waters, highlighting the quiet rewards of year-round trout fishing along the snowy, willow-lined banks of the Upper Owens River in the Eastern Sierra. This edition serves as a comprehensive manual for cold-weather angling, offering expert perspectives on swinging flies for "chrome" steelhead on the North Coast's storied rivers and a detailed "411" guide from Conway Bowman on the surprising urban fishing opportunities in San Diego's stillwaters and bays. Readers will discover technical insights into the advantages of tying and fishing tube flies, a review of Robert Macfarlane's latest book Is a River Alive?, and a firsthand account of the "shamanic insight" found in the wilds of Shasta. With the debut of the 2026 online Gift Guide and a dedicated section on meadow restoration projects benefitting native fish, this issue combines practical shop skills and fly-tying tutorials with a deep commitment to conservation and the vibrant community that defines California's unique fly-fishing heritage.
