What are you guys using? I'm in the market for a new pair after running over my Smith Guide Series while in Bridgeport. I liked the lenses on the Smiths but they were pretty close to my face and my eyelashes would rub the lense. Looking for suggestions on replacements. It was getting dark so I moved my glas...

Just another reminder that Saturday, November 21st is another Putah Creek cleanup day . . . MArk your calendars!!!!!!! The creek looked cleaner than normal the the other day, so I'm guessing that actual necessary cleanup time will be less than the past. I propose that we get a good crew out there, f...

I fished from 1 to 2 miles below the bridge today from 8:30am to 1:00 pm. Did not land, hook, or see a fish all day. I fished the same areas a couple of weeks ago and had one fish on. 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...

Heard on the radio the other day that some dude pulled a 5lb Brown out of Lake Solano. Too bad it's not swimming there anymore... I know that there used to be a decent Brown Trout fishery at Putah. Anybody know when that population started going south? Any other reports of Browns hanging out in Solano/Pu...

Here's a little known change to next years regulations (Section 700): beginning in March, you no longer need to display your fishing license. You must have it on your person or in your immediate possession.

To: members of the Flyfishing Forum It has been a very busy year for Putah Creek Trout. We are beginning to be recognized around the state as a solid conservation organization focused on protecting, preserving, and improving our Wild Trout fishery. In just a few months we have gained the trust, c...

I know this is not the for sale section but I never get any action there... I have a box of approximately 90 hand tied flies for sale (including the box). I went through all my flies and these are extras I'm willing to sell. You get the whole thing for $40 shipped, that's about .40¢ a fly....can't beat that....

Thinking of going to the creek maybe next weekend, just wanted to know what people are using for set ups. I useally use a long leader around 10 to 12 feet 5 X and then 5 X tippet, usually swing flies. i know that asking people to show you a thing or two on a body of water is kind of like asking someone to tell you...

Greetings to everyone! I thought I would throw in my first post. I'm new to the creek, but throwin' fly's for a number of years. I ran across this site and have read past entries thoroughly when I realized how passionate you folks are about conservation, reds, clean up etc. I'm impressed and consider my...

I also fished Putah today, its the first time ive fished it in about 4 months. I struggled, 4 small fish to hand. Not very crowded which was nice this must be due to the poor fishing.

I decide to hit Putah today, giving myself only a 1 hour drive for some fishing. I think this was the first time ! fished Putah in 11 months???? It was like seeing an old friend again. There were only 4 other cars parked along the road, I'm curious if this is because the egg bite is happening on other riv...

After being skunked numerous times at Putah, I finally got into a few today. Nothing huge but nice wild fish. The wind was howling in the trees but right on the water it was fairly calm.

I am thinking about hittin it up tomorrow, any ideas of what the flows are supposed to be like? Wondering if it's worth the drive. I looked at todays flows below 100. This is my first year fly fishing, so I am trying to figure out the flows and relating it to what I can expect! Any ideas? Thanks

Ty · Ty

I think this is a stickleback. Caught it the other day by access 5. It was only about 2" long and uglier than a mo fo. This is not the actual one I caught but this is what it looked like. I false hooked it on a midge.

I hit the creek today around noon to check out the flows and throw some flys and was surprised to see flows I thought they would be lower then they were so I put on a san juan and a dropper of some kind Im not sure what and landed my biggest to date on the creek maybe 17 or 18 inches and about two to two and a hal...

Yesterday Richard, Sarah, and I headed out for a quick morning outing. I had great luck in hooking 8 or so fish, but horrible luck bringing them in. The normal spots with the normal techniques were slow (probably from pressure this week), but some high-sticking with no dropper and a lot of weight produ...

Just as I was heading into a good spot, I ran into RG Loft - whom I'd never met.

Hey All, I finally decided to stop working around the clock and spend some time standing in the middle of a river waving a stick around. Richard, Sarah, and I hit a "top secret" (not really) spot on Putah and we all had a good afternoon. We ran in to JL on his way out too - hopefully he'll share his...

The flows are really coming down. The creek looks very different from last week. After I finally found the fish I landed 4 out of 6 hooked and got this little beauty. My best of the season so far.

It appears to me that the weed growth in the creek has been expanding each year, covering more area in its usual slower water sites and expanding into faster areas where it has been absent or almost so. This year it appears particularly bad. We would like to hear your views, since it is one more environ...

Well boys, we me and my buddy were down fishing Putah Creek and hammered some huge trout in the Riparian Reserve.

Rgloft and I both hit up the creek today. We each caught a fish, mine was a dinky yearling and his was bigger, 8-10"? Did see an Osprey out there too, I guess they wouldn't be around if there were no fish. -Jon

JL · JL

If you go to the right spot right now, you might catch more than you can count, ranging from 6 inches to 16 inches, as I did from 5:00 to 7:00 last night. JT special and a grey zebra midge were killing them. If we get the regs passed for next year, perhaps the entire creek will reemerge as stellar. JL
