Putah Creek Fly Fishing

I was wondering if I can walk across the bridge and fish that bank and downstream, or is that part private property? Thanks

There's a dark green full size pickup with a shell and lumber rack and tons of Fly-Fishing stickers on the back which has been parked under a big tree on the northwest side of the bridge? Sarah and I saw it yesterday and I was thinking it has been there a few days now--could someone have hiked in and gotten h...

It seems to me with drought projecting into the future, it doesn't make sense to see the current release pattern. I understand that demand drives the releases but it seems shortsighted... The median release for today should be ~270 and here we are at 360! There goes the storage for the future.... Of c...

I'm novice to the fly (only FF ~1-2x a year). I've fished Putah a few times in the past, never with any luck. Well, I'm going to give it a try next Tuesday. If anyone (new or experienced) would like to meet up, let me know. I'd love to learn from someone. Thanks, Joe

Many 6-8 inch fish which to me is a good sign for the fishery. Red midge nymphs and wd-40s did the trick. I suspect I wasn't getting deep enough to reach the bigger fish, but who knows. Anyone else have days like this?

Thanks to whoever found my son's sunglasses and left them on the kiosk at the bridge parking lot. He was very happy to get them back. (so was I!) Philip PS. Fishing was really fun today (9/28).

I lost a Folstaf wading staff today on the river near the parking lot at #3, or maybe slightly upstream of it. If anyone finds it, please message me. Thanks! On another note, a friend and I each caught around a half dozen or so fish, primarily on midges. All on the smaller side, maxing out around 8-9 inc...

Hey, guys and girls. I am a fly fisherman from Arkansas who is visiting Napa Valley the first week of September. We have trout hatcheries here that are very productive (Little Red River and the White/Norfork Rivers) and I've only ever fished those waters. However, I am VERY interested in going out to...

In case anyone wonder after the last time, Floating the creek went well. There were some spots that needed to be walked through, but you can cover a lot of water.

It's been a while since I've logged in here. I hadn't even fished for over a year until this past Saturday. I was able to sneak away for a few hours, and thankfully the creek didn't disappoint. There was a lot more vegetation than I remember (both on the banks and in the creek), but that didn't stop the f...

I made the unfortunate and ignorant decision not to button up the pocket on my cargo pants while fishing below the ladder. Went to change flies and it was gone... Worst part is I know better and thought to myself that I should button it up and didn't. I think it found its way to the bottom but if anyone fi...

- One of the most common mistakes I see Putah Creek anglers make is fishing water that is moving too fast. Yes, their indicators are moving at the same speed as the current. However, I can see that their indicators are moving downstream too quickly. They might be able to catch some small fish, but the odd...

What are the current regs for "lake" solano? I fished the creek today and ended chucking a sculpin all the way down to the solano bridge where I had a really big fish take my sculpin. After landing the fish I noticed that I had the attention of some of the other (spin and bait) anglers. They came...

I'm looking for a 10' 4wt medium action rod. It seems like manufacturers are making mostly fast action nowadays. Redington used to have the RS4 which fit the bill perfectly but don't make it any longer. Ebay has some but not in 10'. What's out there? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone been fishing on the creek in the past few weeks? Any news, good or bad? I was considering driving up from SF this weekend, but might look elsewhere if the fishing has been sub-par.

Wanted to see if I can gather some opinions on attempting to float the creek. I recently aquired a creek company 12 foot 2 person drift raft. I like the raft because I generally like standing while fishing. Recently with the high flows I have been paddle board fishing some sculpin patterns and buggers a...

I fished access 5 the other day and ran into a pod of fish. My heart skipped a beat in anticipation due to their number and size. I had never before seen such a concentrated group of large fish. There must have been 8+ fish. They were holdin IN a riffle - very unusual for trout in my experience. Of co...

Went out Saturday and there are tons of ticks out. Been combing my dog and finding ticks up to this morning. I also ran into a rattler at access 3 with no rattle!! It looked shriveled up or burnt. Not sure but it wasn't normal and the snake was at least two feet long. Luckily it wasn't aggressive cause my dog...
