A Question
(Preview)
Not sure if this is Putah specific, but maybe it is so here goes: I was fishing the creek yesterday and had a fish on for about 10 seconds then it spit the hook. I kept fishing the same hole, with the same flies for the next half hour after that with no luck. So my question is; when a fish gets hooked then gets ...

Spawners on the redds
(Preview)
PCT is interested in finfing out if you have seen active spawners on the redds at the usual places. Much of the best areas appear to be weed choked and the one fish I saw today was finning up a cloud of silt every time she made a pass over the gravel-not a good sign. This is an informal follow up to last years SC...

Just wanted to hear peoples predictions on how they think putah will be fishing in the coming years since we have the new regs? Will we see a dramatic improvement in the fishing or is it going to be a slow process? Will there be more or less fisherman fishing putah now? Will putah ever be planted again?...

So I hooked up a real fighter Friday. As soon as I set the hook I could see it's silver flashes as it gave me some nasty head shakes. I was surprised to see the color of this guy once I got it closer. It went 16"-17" and was a beautiful silver and green with a big pink stripe. I'm assuming that...

The real fishing report

Since the winter spawn is on, I am suggesting that people just write in how the fishing trip was. Many of the regulars have figured this out. It will be somewhat informative, but will not give out locations, and will not have photos of locations. If any photos are posted they should just be a close up o...

I'm new to the board and read the threads about baitfishing out of season and posting signs with interest. The current regs have been in place for at least 30+years while the usage of the creek has increased a lot. I personally would like to see zero limit for the whole stretch from dam to dam year rou...

It seems to me the fish population is way down from what it used to be a few years ago. I have 40 years FF'ing experience includi...
