Hi all, Just found this forum. I just moved to Davis (to finish my Ph.D. at UCD) last year but have not been able to wet a hook since then due to my research obligations down in Panama for the past 8 months.? I don't want to get in anyone else's way on the creek, but I'm wondering if there are recommendations f...

Tired of flinging nymphs? Try a spent mayfly in the evenings. If you see trout sipping on bugs, they are usually sipping BWos in the evening. Tie on an olive BWO with spent wings and drift it just below the surface. Hold on for the big swirl, and the ensuing battle. ...

I decided to get to a spot today, no matter how wet I had to get to make it. I got wet. I also had the best day on Putah I've had since last fall. In 2 and a half hours, I must have hooked 30-40 fish.? Landed about half.? Average size was about 13 inches.? Had several pigs on, but in fast water they are hard to land....

Otter · Otter

I found a pod of big fish in some very fast water last weekend.? The first fish took off like a rocket and spit the hook.? The second one was landed.? From then on it was broken tippets and spit hooks.? I even switched to 4x tippet and they were snapping it like butter.? I have never used 3x on putah, but I may h...

Hi, I'm new to fly fishing and live in the bay area. What would be some good lakes or streams to fish around silicon valley? Also, I have researched about Putah Creek, and if I were to go there, where would be a good place to start and what would be some good flies to have there? Thanks!
