Putah Creek Fly Fishing

jvento · jvento

Last year I was unable to be apart of the Redds 101 class and was wondering if you are going to be hosting a similar class this year? Would only seem fit since we are trying to get the regs changed. Perhaps we could make an outreach to others not just on the board? The more people know about the redds the bette...

Putah has many different species of fish other than the beloved rainbow trout. I'm interested to know how many of you guys are mainly trout anglers, or if you use your fly rod for other species? I'd prefer trout any day for their beauty and fight, but I've been using my fly rod for every thing else too.

This time of year...& for the next month what would be good to use in the Putah Creek, such as in flys? I always have great catch rate using a #12 hook w/ salmon egg. What does it mean by patterns? Is it the way the fly is tied or is there a certain casting pattern from fly to water?

Fished Putah for the first time today. Beautiful and fun place to fish. Didn't see anybody else out there. I have no idea where the good spots are so I spent a lot of the day exploring. Caught a lot of fish but most were under 6 inches. Here's a pic of my biggest one. Impressive huh? Well, I'm sure I'll b...

Saturday was hot, and the creek was looking good. We did manage to catch a few small fish on mayfly patterns, but nothing bigger than 12". I did see one guy hook into a large fish above the bridge, but it threw the hook. Apparently he had landed a fish over 20" earlier in the day. I tend to fish e...

Took my nephews out to the creek in Winters and found a beautiful little spot with clear water, gravel and sand bottom and riffles.
