Haven't been here in a while and just saw the thread about Yolo County closing the creek. A few weeks ago I tried to go to the creek and found all parking areas chained off and had signs posted the entire area was closed, mention of COVID and too many people on narrow trails. About 2 weeks after that I see a Ro...

A member of Granite Bay Fly Casters has lost his fish pond vest with flies and associated gear on the Creek 2/24/20. This was a father to son gift, so there's additional value attached. If found, please send me an email and I'll put you in contact with GBFC. Thank you

I spent some time out at the creek today. I didn’t catch anything but someone else obviously did. I found this one high up on the bank at the bottom of the staircase. It looked quite fresh judging by the color and that rigor mortis hadn't set in. I measured it at just under 18”. This is the second time t...

As I was walking up to # 4, I saw a bald eagle sitting in a tree across the creek. He looked at me and with two flaps of his wings was GONE! That really made my day. -- Edited by mudhen on Monday 18th of November 2019 05:48:03 AM

What’s with the 40 cfs flow? Are they cleaning the lake? I was on the creek today and water level went from normal in the morning to a nearly dry creek by 4 pm. I hope fish are ok with this.

Hey Guys, So I am sure most of you have seen all of the people on the creek recently. It seems that your typical runs that are easy to access are always filled up bright and early and it's like a race to try and get to the run first or you are out of luck. I have had to think outside of the box to get to some spots tha...

Since I couldn't bear the idea of a crowded Putah on a high water Saturday, I went to the Yuba instead. The water was high but really clear and still wadeable in the bridge area, (but not beyond the whitewater run ), and March Browns and even a few Caddis were coming off. I however, a charter member of the Ca...

Are the current water flows for the creek correct? I’ve been watching the flows return to normal as Berryessa’s level comes down but 91 cfs? Or is there a sensor malfunction? -- Edited by Mike42 on Wednesday 8th of May 2019 09:32:21 AM

I normally have no problem with the guides, and am friendly to them, but I want to say right here that anyone who brings more than two clients is not being ethical, and anyone who brings a string of them to the creek NOT EVEN FISHING, but playing tour guide is shi$%^& in their, and everyone else's nest...
