newbie help! american river nimbus flat

[noodleculture]

Hi,

ok this is embarrasing but man i suck, i have no idea what im doing, people catch fish around me and i can't! lol

i need help and tips on what to do. im trying to fish in sacramento american river nimbus flat right of the hazel ave exit.

i see people fly fishing, standing in the middle of the river, fishing off the side next to the dam, catching fish, striper and trout i think.

i think i have the wrong pole, line and bait and stuff.
all i do is get my line stuck and think i have a bite but im really fighting a rock and lose to it.

please help, any suggestions
