No New Posts Fishing the Putah on Wednesday (6/17) (Preview)
Looks like I'll be able to take a half day at work tomorrow (Wednesday the 17th) and am hoping to head up to Putah for the afternoon for a few hours of fishing.  I've been up a couple times before but am still trying to figure out the best spots (I've fished off of #3 & #4 but not extensively). If any one wa...

No New Posts Waders or no? (Preview)
I was going to head up to Putah for my first time, is wading advisable? Will boots do? Do I break out the chest waders?

Had a few hours free Sunday and took a friend to Putah. I won't say the locations as I think that's the fun part of learning the creek but will report poor to okay fishing depending on how you look at it. In 3 hours we hooked in 6 fish. Only one being a solid 16" fought and spit the hook either taking a soft...

No New Posts Float Tubin' (Preview)
My dad gave me a used Caddis float tube. After patching a leak in the bladder and recreating the absent spreader bar and dripping apron , I decided to take it for a spin. I had so much fun floating a couple slow deep holes on the creek. There was a short window ~noon that the fish were obviously more active. I...

No New Posts Where have all the fish gone? ( 1 2 ) (Preview)
I spent 7 hrs nymphing and didn't get a single strike! I've talked with a couple of fellows on the river and they had similar results. Are the fish on a special diet? Have they left their usual holds and gone walkabout? Or is this typical for this time of year?

I took my new TFO BVK 8wt out to sling some nasty streamers.  After figuring out the casting, I was able to get some good drifts.  I was using a circus peanut fly...  The fly drifted right under a fallen tree and WHAM!!!!     I didn't think brownies were in Putah anymore.  This one must have been hiding for a...

No New Posts Found a nice watch (Preview)
Finally back to fishing, was on the creek yesterday and found a nice watch on a trail between access #3 and #4. Might not be fisherman's watch, kind of fou fou . On second thought might be a fly fishermans watch. Also found a jar of green power bait. Call the local DFG office to retreive it.

No New Posts Bug Bonanza!! (Preview)
Take your pick all the bugs were hatching today.  BWOs, midges, little winter stones, little yellow stones, big mayflies that look like March Browns, but are probably Pink Alberts and quite a few glossies.  I guess they had no choice but to hatch.  Flows went down about 50 CFS and it was probably hatch...

Went fishing a couple of days ago hoping to catch a few out of spot 4 and 5 but not a single fish hit my nymphs after 6 hrs of constant dredging. Water was not muddy, only a slight tint, but flow was pretty low. Are the fish hiding for some reason? Anyway, will follow suggestions from this forum and try agai...

No New Posts Creek blown out (Preview)
Took a drive to see what the creek looked like.  Very brown zero visibility.  Cold Creek and Thompson are both dumping in silt. Also getting a good amount of silt from a few new gullies around the burn area mid creek.  It is funny I saw someone trying to fish with zero visibility.
