Curious for opinions
(Preview)
i have been fishing putah for a good time now and have seen patterns in bites with respect to the time of day. A good friend of mine said pepple use to call putah the 10 to 2 creek due to having much success during those times. of my own experience this tends to hold true. Not to say I haven't had success during...

A little help goes a long way
(Preview)
I am new to fishing the Putah and have found good success, from the first day I had tried. I have fared better at other rivers, however, I have been told catching 4-6 fish a day on the Putah is extremely successful. Here is my most recent report.. Have had success with PT, Copper John (Red),RS2 Olive and G...

With spring comes new bounties
(Preview)
A nice start to spring! The bites are great and ive ran into many nice fisherman who have been hooking up. The water was crystal clear Monday with beautiful skies and I had the great pleasure of landing a monster. Just thought I'd share the fun. I'm prepared for negative comments but here he is.

Grinding My Gears
(Preview)
In the past couple of weeks I have noticed in a few spots someone has taken a saw and shears and cut some branches and limbs in some key spots on the creek. Just because your flies end up in the bush does not give you the right to landscape the terrain to make it easier for yourself. I know this has happened in...

If you have plans to fish Putah this weekend I suggest you make other plans. I was out there today and watched the first mile turn to mud. The whole creek should be blown out by the morning.

How will the lack of rain affect Putah?
(Preview)
It has been an extremely dry winter so far. If we go into drought conditions how will this affect the creek flows for the rest of the year? I don't think this dry season will be comparable to the drought in the 70s but.. It's coming close. How did the creek hold up back then? Nic -- Edited by Xnjb707X on W...

Putah try Thurs 2/13

I gave Putah a try on Thurs. I haven't fly fished in a lot of years so I pick the one place in the world with the most trees and bushes to rekindle my passion for fly fishing (I did not lose anything to the abundant forest but I did have to learn how to roll cast). I did avoid the beds and hiked about half of the a...

Anyone use a 10 foot nymphing rod on the creek?

I'm thinking about asking Santa for one. Seems to me it would work well in the close quarters of Putah and get your flies into some hard to reach spots.

Is the flow report correct?
(Preview)
It looks to me like the USGS PC flow report is stuck again. The flow graph has been too steady over the last week. Has anybody been out there to verify? Would appreciate some feedback as I am thinking about giving the creek one more try before shutting down to give the fish room to spawn.
