About 2 weeks after that I see a Ro...

What's going on?

I spent some time out at the creek today. I didn’t catch anything but someone else obviously did. I found this one high up on the bank at the bottom of the staircase. It looked quite fresh judging by the color and that rigor mortis hadn't set in. I measured it at just under 18”. This is the second time t...

eagle!

As I was walking up to # 4, I saw a bald eagle sitting in a tree across the creek. He looked at me and with two flaps of his wings was GONE! That really made my day. -- Edited by mudhen on Monday 18th of November 2019 05:48:03 AM

Water Flow

What’s with the 40 cfs flow? Are they cleaning the lake? I was on the creek today and water level went from normal in the morning to a nearly dry creek by 4 pm. I hope fish are ok with this.

Knowing Putah Creek
(Preview)
Hey Guys, So I am sure most of you have seen all of the people on the creek recently. It seems that your typical runs that are easy to access are always filled up bright and early and it's like a race to try and get to the run first or you are out of luck. I have had to think outside of the box to get to some spots tha...

Yuba...Saturday

Since I couldn't bear the idea of a crowded Putah on a high water Saturday, I went to the Yuba instead. The water was high but really clear and still wadeable in the bridge area, (but not beyond the whitewater run ), and March Browns and even a few Caddis were coming off.
