Putah Creek Fly Fishing

vince · vince

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...

I finally convinced MX 19 to show me where the fish were. While waiting for MX 19 to show up African Angler and Rgloft spotted me on the creek. We all went fishing where we were all sworn to secrecy and I finally landed a fish. RG and the African angler were having fun as well. I was nearly swept down to...

Just as I was heading into a good spot, I ran into RG Loft - whom I'd never met. We went up stream and whacked a bunch of fish, but the fish got tired of us catching them so I moved further up stream. RG got to see me fall down smashing my right shin and hip and filling my waders part of the way up while fishing nea...

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. They were spawning so we thought we would try our luck with rainbow trout streamers and pissed them off. They hammered those streamers so hard and fought like no other fish I have caught on th...

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

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

Hey guys, I haven't posted much here recently for different reasons. It looks like the Winter fighting is already starting up. I just want to remind you guys that there are LOTS of other options for winter fishing other than Putah. The last 2 years I hardly fished Putah in the Winter and didn't really mi...

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?

Been havin some good fun lately in the warm water parts of Putah. Been scouting out some largemouth, and I think I found a good hole with some major lunkers. These suckers are huge! I've pulled out a handful of smaller ones 8"-12" but I need some tips on hookin up the big ones. I've tried mu...
