8/24 Report
(Preview)
Fished a few hours in the evening on the hottest day of year. Tons of bugs, which was nice to see, and one of those days on Putah when you realize what a great fishery it can be. I hooked into at least 30 fish, with lots of LDRs in fast water, most fish in the 10 to 13 inch range with a couple bigger and several s...

My First Putah Trout
(Preview)
I am predominately a kayak fisherman, but have a history of occasionally fly fishing. It has been probably 5+ years since I last had the fly rod in my hands. After a stressful week, I fly fished the Lower reach and landed 2 Sacramento Pikeminnows. I figured I could try above Solano tonight. Now it has...

Putah Creek Ticks
(Preview)
We've been up to Putah a couple times this summer and as most of you know, we always bring our dog, Rusty with us. He mostly sits in the car but also I walk him around while Richard is fishing. One of the days he stepped on a nest(?) of ticks-- they were all over him-- and I spent half an hour picking them off and...

fundraiser
(Preview)
I just want to take a moment and thank everyone who came out to the fundraiser. I realize Healdsburg is not the closest place for some of you. I had a good time chatting with you all, meeting some new friends, razzing the old ones. It was a blast and I cannot wait to make it bigger and better for next year....

New to Fly Fishing

Hello Putah Creek Fly Fishermen, Once upon a time, I did alot of bait casting, and then, . . . . . . . . . . . . . I woke up from my dream and realized that fly fishing was the only way. I just got started on fly fishing. I took a beginners casting course, so I got down most of the basic casts. I live in Davis, and P...

Summer Dry Fly Fishing
(Preview)
In the last few days, from 7:30 PM til dark, there has been some electric dry fly fishing. I've been a few times and was reminded of nights on the upper sac or mccloud rivers in Nor Cal south of Shasta. Only issue has been size of the fish. These are mostly 9-12 inchers, but there is nothing more exciting...

I enjoy fishing the creek this time of year. Higher flows ,warm weather, no people. The creek forces me to fish hard. Adjusting weight, leader and changing flies at every hole. I put in a few more hours again today. I fished each spot until it gave up its secret. Plenty of little fish (6"-8&qu...

Putah Report for 6/13

Man - no posts for a long time. Guess all of you were bait slingers after all and the new regs have crimped your style! In any event, has anyone been out lately? Flows are way up (which I like) and the temps are hot. Last night (got there about 6:15), there was a very nice baetis hatch (I think they were baetis...

Yesterday were two firsts: 1) I saw what looked like a Warden's vehicle parked at Access 3 and 2) I had my first opportunity to tell a fisherman that using bait and barbed hooks were illegal on PC, also at Access 3.

What's the "ideal " fly rod for Putah creek?
(Preview)
May sound like a silly question, but I've only fished it once. What would some of the more experienced Putah veterans call the perfect rod (weight and length)? I'm going tomorrow. Should I bring the 4, 5 or 6? They are all 9ft or better. Any more info helps. Thanks.
