It's been at least 10 years at least since I fished the creek in the summer time but after reading all the posts about how it used to be I decided to go today. I had the place to myself except there was a Subaru parked at #5. I never saw the owner. I noticed right away that there was a lot less trash everywhere. S...

I haven't fished this creek in a couple years. Still have a nice box of home tied custom favorites wasting away in a closet. I have to say that in my opinion this creek is a shadow of what it was years ago. My partner caught a 12 lb rainbow in there around 94-95 on a custom little caddis pattern. Curious to...

Hey there, I'm Craig and I am new to Putah Creek. I have made a few trips recently and really enjoy the waters of Putah. The tight quarters due to trees and brush remind me of my beloved Ozark waters, which after three months I miss tremendously! Anyways, I had a question or two. First off, I noticed som...

A good reminder to everyone to take an extra minute and make sure you pinch your barbs and pinch them down all the way. A friend of mine put a giant bunny leech in her arm and had not pinched her barb down enough. She ended up in the doctors office because the 30lb mono trick broke when trying it. The docto...

Flows are HIGH. I just couldn't stay away any longer. Had the itch. I tried a bit above and below the bridge and caught a couple 6", 10" below the bridge. Played a bit around Access 5, the only real wadable area that I know. No luck there. Anyone fish the slow deep areas during the summer f...

Have spotted several winter stones and a few little yellow stones lately. Try a size 16 yellow soft hackle to see if it works. Haven't found a good fly for the dark green to black winter stones.. They are about size 18

Had some luck today, a couple dinks in the afternoon below the resort bridge on a zebra midge. I've also been having luck with some pigs swinging big sculpin patterns on a sink line in some deep holes the few cloudy days we've had this month. Other than that, Olive mayflies, zebra midges, and yellow to ta...

I fished the creek today and got a few fish (although my usual Putah stuff wasn't performing too well), but I stuck around late enough to see a couple of fish rise. I threw almost everything in my box, and nearly took a swim trying to catch a hatching bug. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was hat...

Got out onto Putah after a long time away. The flows were high but the water was very clear and fishable. You had to know your access spots to get into good sections of water. Between me and my buddy we must have hooked around 20 fish between 10:00am and 4:00pm. Pretty much every fish came on a size 20 black m...
