No New Posts My Favorite Time of Year (Preview)
I love this time of year.  My favorite time to fish the creek is when the flows are around 400 cfs.  I have been hooking into some really nice fish the past couple of weeks.  They haven't planted any fish for a while and the bait fishermen have been pounding away all Spring and Summer, so t...

No New Posts Labor Day (Preview)
When I pulled up on Labor Day, it reminded me of winter with all of the cars.  There were quite a few people early, but luckily they didn't stay too long.  They must have had barbecues to go to.  It was a pretty good day on the creek.  I hooked 12 fish and la...

I haven't been able to fish the creek for a couple of months but made it out today.  I fished for a few hours near the bridge and landed a fat 22" rainbow.  I caught him on a #18 beadhead baetis nymph.  I hooked a couple of other fish but didn't land them.  I coul...

I was able to get up to the creek 2 days in a row.  It was ridiculously hot, though.  I sweated like crazy any time I wasn't in the water.  I think next time I'll try wet wading.  It will be nice and cool in the water but bearable when I'm walking from spot to spot.  Anyway, I hooke...

No New Posts Wading access? (Preview)
I am hoping to stop by Putah on my way home from Chico and was wondering if there are any other spots besides #5 and below 128 to wade fish.  I remember #4 fishing great this time of year last year, but I almost killed myself trying to cross above the riffle.  Any info. will help.  Thanks. ...

No New Posts Fish of the Day (Preview)
Here is the fish of the day.  When I hooked this fish it went crazy.  It screamed across the creek one way then the other.  Usually I lose fish when I get this much line out, but I managed to land it.  I tied up a new fly.  Fox poopah on a size 20 Tiemco 100.  [img]https://i4...

Second time fishing putah creek.  I hooked 3 and landed 1 all above access point #1 in fast water.  I was using a tan fox pupa with a wd40 on the dropper.  All fish seemed to be planters.  Does the slower moving water right below access #5 produce or are there any suggestions on wher...

No New Posts wet wading the creek (Preview)
Hey, Even with the heat, if you are wading without waders it feels great. Two of the largest arteries run down through the legs and guess what? The heat is very tolerable. I fished yesterday and hooked up two which I lost but what the heck. I used a 16 hare's ear on the upper and a 18 micro mayfly on the...

No New Posts Help on choosing a boat motor (Preview)
I am interested in purchasing a new 15 hp four stroke boat motor for my 13 ft aluminum boat. The motor may also be used as a kicker for a larger Crestliner that I may be purchasing later this year. Does anyone have any advice on which brand motor I should buy?

Got out to the creek around 6:30 PM today. Had the best day I've had on the creek in some time.  Having just come back from a trip up north (Oregon rivers and the Upper Sacramento), I was of a mind to stick with Dry flies as nymphing putah can be such a hassle with all the brush on the banks and al...

Fellow Anglers, Do any of you fish in Solano for rainbows and browns? If so what are the secerts? Sinking line? Fall River Long drifts with floating line anchored up? Do most go up to the mouth of Putah to start fishing? Never have fished the lake but thought it might be a goo...
