Putah Creek Fly Fishing

Need2no · Need2no

Hey Anglers, I have been reading the forum with much interest and this is the first forum I have ever joined so in advance, excuse me if I am long- worded. I am interested in fishing Putah Creek tomorrow, Thursday December 30. I want to get 1 last day out of my 2010 CA license and get my new Simms boots wet...

Cliff, Alastair and myself met at Putah today to conduct some study work at the creek that we are doing in coordination with Fish and Game. In conjunction with this, we make an effort to converse with people out fishing on the creek about what is going on at Putah. First stop, 4 teenagers are fishing wi...

One Weight had a great idea to settle the Redds discussion. I will use my considerable clout to bring some celebrity contestants for an exhibition to our octogon. The octogon will be smaller than usual so talk will be cheap and there will be no running away.Actually the octogon will have four sides ins...

Landed this fish today. Bright and silver. I thought I was on the Yuba. Jumped four feet in the air. I think it was attacked by an Otter.... Had a little chunk of skin missing....

I might as well get this topic started. A few fish a starting to pair up in certain areas of the creek getting ready for this spawning season. Usually spawn goes in full swing in December through the end of February. So on that note, if you care about the creek just flat out don't fish it during those 3 month...

The silt is coming down Cold Creek. The creek will be blown with the remaining rain.

From a quick glance, Lower Putah Creek extendeing from below the Lake Solano diversion dam all the way to the sink hole in the marsh seems to falls under Article 2: District General Regulations for the Valley District (all Solano and Yolo County): (3) All strems except anadromous waters and those lis...

So to try get away from our mud-slinging post. how's everyone doing?? Hows the weather?? I was up at the Yuba last week and had a pretty good time of it. Fish are fat and happy.... post all the caviar they have been munching on. So wait for the rain to settle down, and if you have the time drop me a PM as I would...

From what I uderstand they had moved the flows up to help with the salmon spawning, but now they have reduced them to below 60 cfs. Does anyone know the reasonong for this?? Also at 60 cfs isn't that going to put some of the trout redds high and dry??

Is it just me or does it seem like the snails are dissapearing? I remember seeing them covering every rock in the creek. Now I haven't been seeing any. Can these things die out on their own?

FYI: The flows will be at 90 cfs for the next week to aid the movement of salmon up the lower creek from Sac the river.

This week PCT assisted Roger Bloom's crew in surveying the creek for young of the year and safe harbor habitat for small fish. Several PCT members volunteered, including Dave M, Brian C, Bernie W, Jordan R, Greg B, Jacob B, Chris Y, Michael F, Richard L, and myself. A great time was had by all and target...

As I wrapped up my last session out at the creek for the next few months. I was crossing back across the creek and grabbed on to a branch and caught a handful of flies in my hand! Ouch, not to mention they still hand the brabs on them... Shame on you whoever didn't pinch down the barbs... It was not fun to pull a...

Hi everyone. I new to the creek and your forum and wanted to say hello. I have had good luck the few times I've been up to the creek, and I would like to get out as much as possible in the next couple weeks before the fish (and I) start to get busy. On that note, I have a question about brown trout. Since dayl...

Hey everyone: the Cleanup was canceled by FFD due to rain in the forecast for Saturday. However, it will go on without the food and drink and be sponsored by our group. So plan to come out in your rain gear and go fishing afterward-the creek is fishing real well. We can also do a quick survey for redds/spaw...

I've been going to the Putah roughly once a week for a month now. Skunked x4. I'm a bit discouraged. I'm trying #18 dark bead head nymphs behind a leading fly of various configurations - small san juan worm, wooly worms. Mostly I've been dead drifting with an indicator. I'm using 4 or 5x 9' leaders on...

Went out on Sunday morning and found some small fish. Not a bad way to spend your Sunday morning. Steve: an email is on the way with the pix and locations.

Probably not what you were expecting, but I thought I'd mix it up a bit before the shananigans start up again. Caught these feisty little bass in Davis after work yesterday.

Hi there forum members: Fishing is picking up, if you don't mind small fish. Reports are that multiple hook ups are the rule, although many of the fish are going airborne on the set. Rumor has it that Shon is hogging his hole again-another good sign that fishing is getting better. Flows should be coming...

Partly world Series, partly rushing and mostly just boneheaded stupid I lost my Sage rod and Ross reel while at putah saturday 10/30 evening. If anybody comes across it or someone talking of finding a rod would dearly love to have it back. It was a gift from a friend.

So for years my dad and I used to fish the Pit River in the summer months. But that was when we lived closer. After moving to the Davis area years ago we took up trolling Lake Berryessa and spinner rods were not any good on the Putah. He's been fly fishing mostly the American and Yuba and Feather for the past...

Flows took a major dive today. Droped from around 200 to 39 in a few days, Thats friggin ridiculose ! I assume its the normal lame excuse "flows drop so they can clean out the canals around the diversion dam".

My largest to date (18"): I am finding alternating above (trout) and below (pikeminnow) the dam to be quite enjoyable. In truth, the Pikeminnows are more "fun" at this point because I can get them to hit just about anything I throw at them I broke in my new fly rod set up; 8'6" St Cl...
