 Putah Creek Council is sponsoring a Creek Speak with Peter Moyle.  He is going to talk about native fish in Lower Putah Creek.  I would guess it will be mostly about how PCC is trying to get salmon back into the creek!  http://www.putahcreekcouncil.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=283

What's that hatching?
(Preview)
I fished the creek today and got a few fish (although my usual Putah stuff wasn't performing too well), but I stuck around late enough to see a couple of fish rise. I threw almost everything in my box, and nearly took a swim trying to catch a hatching bug. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was hat...

Between me and my buddy we must have hooked around 20 fish between 10:00am and 4:00pm. Pretty much every fish came on a size 20 black m...

Flows up

Unless the guage is off, the flows are way above typical it seems to me. Â 358?! The median is ~ 100 for the previous 52 years. Â I mean, there can't be that much demand this early in the growing season can there be? Â Won't they need that water later on when we've had ANOTHER year of low precipitation?! Â Not t...

New to tying. Any suggests on beginner patterns to start with?
(Preview)
Just starting to get into fly typing after fly fishing for 12 years. Any suggests on good "beginner" flies that would work well at Putah? I'm tempted to start tying up tiny midge patterns, but I was advised that I should start with larger flies, maybe in the 12-14 size. Thanks.
