Hello, newbie here. Was thinking about heading up to Putah this holiday weekend.?

Wanted to know if you guys thought it would...

Yesterday I went near the bridge to do some after-work angling. The flows were up, the fishing down, and the trash all around. After nymphing and streamer fishing for a bit, I switched almost entirely to trash collecting. Does anyone have any luck/tips when the flows jump up a bit? Vince

Spent a wonderful A.M. on the creek. Cold, grey and windy. Not a thing. Threw everything in the box and nothing.

Went fishing yesterday with my nephew who is visiting. Caught one of the strangest looking trout. Thought I share. As for the overall fishing, I only landed two hooked, a few more. Fishing came to a crashing halt when the flows increased. -- Edited by flyfishingjunkie on Thursday 19th of March 2009 07...

I was use Google Street View to scope out some sections of Putah Creek, and I noticed their camera snapped a few photos of some fly fishers in one section (takes a few seconds to load). Is this you? -- Edited by vince on Thursday 19th of March 2009 09:09:31 PM

Not a big one but it works for me. You won't see me put a split shot any further up the line than 4 inches from the point fly. It tangles less and the fish are not bothered by it at all. I don't false cast very much but when you need to it makes it less likely to knot up.
