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...

I finally caught my first trout ever she wasnt giant but I thought pretty respectable I was juiced and the about 20 min later I caught ANOTHER ONE! again super juiced, a little bigger than the first but again nothing gian...

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".

I have been to The East Carson twice in the previous months(amazing, if you haven't been) which had been my first dry fly fishing that made sense. Things clicked. I caught many fish, and haven't really been the same since. Dry Fly Fever, anyone...So as I stepped into the creek yesterday, I decided to tr...

Hi all, my name is Chris. Im a new member here and was hoping to get some info on fishing Putah. Form research and sources, Ive seen the bigger fish enter the river with the spawn, though I usually won't fish spawning fish if I can avoid it. Currently the flows are around 200 CFS, and seem to be dropping bit b...

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...

So last week I was able to sneak away for a little fishing. What I didn't realize was I was going to come home a week later with one less friend. My old girl, Brown and a little banged up would not be making another trip for the rest of her life. It's crazy to think how many trips and fish we had seen together...

Made a late afternoon run to the creek..Fishing over the last few weeks went from great to poor..It wasnt the silt , lack of bugs, over growth of grass or my fishing buddy for the day...I can only blame my lack of success on one thing...That stupid float tube Otter gave to JL....My hole has been raped.......

Hello all, Did it again, lost my fly box. Access #5, under the big oak on the hwy, Wed, the 11th. I have my old, discontinued phone number on the box. If anyone picked it up, I would be stoked to get it back. Your reward will be nagotialble, good karma, six pack of your choice? Thanks

Fished a few hours in the evening on the hottest day of year. Tons of bugs, which was nice to see, and one of those days on Putah when you realize what a great fishery it can be. I hooked into at least 30 fish, with lots of LDRs in fast water, most fish in the 10 to 13 inch range with a couple bigger and several s...

We've been up to Putah a couple times this summer and as most of you know, we always bring our dog, Rusty with us. He mostly sits in the car but also I walk him around while Richard is fishing.
