Goobers galore
(Preview)
Get to the creek at 5: 30, suit up and head on down. By 7;30 , the 1'st person showed up. By 9:00, there were two guys fishing across from me. By 10:00 there were the two guys across from me, one directly above me, three down about a hundred yards and three up in the first pool with more headed down from the park...

Putah nymphing rig tips
(Preview)
My last 2 trips have come up short, and I need some help/tips. I fished a 9ft 4x tapered leader and put on my first fly(wolly bugger or large nymph for weight). I put 2-3 small split shots above the first fly. I tied 12 inches of 5x to the bend of the hook and tied on a 2nd very small fly (wd 40, PT, etc). I used a wh...

What flows do you all like to fish on Putah? Personally, I prefer it when the flows are a bit higher - closer to 500 CFS.

First time on the creek in over a month
(Preview)
There's a lot more water! Fished pretty hard today - landed one decent fish, one baby par, and lost 1 small guy - so generally unsuccessful. But, it was awesome to be back on the water! I've been too busy to fish lately and it sure is nice to get back out. Hope some of you had more success than me today!

Viable Flows?
(Preview)
Hey Forum Folks! I am a newcomer to this discussion, as I have finally begun making visits to Putah with some measured success. I'm just curious... what's the CFS zone for "ideal fishing" on the creek, and when does it reach "utterly un-fishable?" I see that the current flow is pushing 680, but I don't k...

To the two dudes at the #4 riffles late Monday afternoon

I’m pretty sure that river etiquette is that when someone is tying up their rig while standing in front of a hole that you’re not supposed to show up, step up to that exact water and begin fishing that hole.Thanks,Kevin Even after suggesting that I was just planning on hitting that water, these two pol...

Anybody care to chime in on how the fishing has been the last couple of days? Are the Flows at their summer level yet? I looked at the charts but those things can be quite unreliable.

Really?
(Preview)
I caught a fish yesterday for maybe the third time. He came in really fast and I realized that I knew this guy. I let him loose as fast as I could ( thank Hod for barbless hooks ) , but it left me with a hollow feeling. I don't mind annoying the trout, but I'm not into abuse. Have any of you encountered the same si...

Measure C ?
(Preview)
I've read the language of it but most of it seems insignificant vs the amendments made since 1968. Besides most winery owners say early nineties was too late to put in vineyard /winery on a slope.

Do you find this rude?
(Preview)
Personally, I love helping a nearby angler get a picture with their catch. A recent experience left me wondering if some folks might find it intrusive to ask them to stop fishing and come take a shot of a quality fish. It honestly hadn't occurred to me as I am happy to take a minute to help out. How do you...

Cicadas at Putah Creek?

I was fishing the deer sign access yesterday afternoon and a Cicada landed on my friend's pack. Is this a normal thing at Putah? I've never seen one here before and wonder if the strong wind gusts blew him in from somewhere.. Got me thinking if I should tie up some foam cicadas lol.. In other news, fishin...

Fish with parasites on base of dorsal fin

When Will They Raise The Flows?

Went to the bridge this afternoon and fished the turn and then was walking down to below staircase rapid. There is a big tree down across the trail that is blocking it completely. Had to hike up and around to the right over some sketchy bushes. With the low flows the best way down below will probably be to c...
