Today's Putah Creek Profile (PCP) is of local legend Orvis Remington-Peters. Petey, as he is known to his friends, is a PC original with close to 40 years of experience nailing those Big Monster Fish. Modest to a fault, he claims he has no special skills or techniques to account for his success: "...

Recently,? I have talked to a number of new FF on the Creek that were not aware of the NZMS infestation and danger of moving it to other waters in/on their fishing gear.

Forum Members: PCT needs help for a daily report on water clarity of the Creek for the rest of March. If you visit the creek and can do a brief post afterwards under this topic, that will be much appreciated. We are especially interested in how deep you can see into the water as we need 18"-24" o...

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.

Hi,? I am looking for opinions.? I am of the opinion that Putah is NOT what it was ten or 15 years ago and I am also of the opinion that it will continue to decline in the future.? I do not see easy solutions to too low flows in winter and excessive pressure and mud snails.? I think this fishery is one in decline...

The article states that no matter how well you think you are dead drifting, if you have an indicator tied on you are causing drag. You will learn...
