As we were about to leave, Mike caught a 5" brown trout with nice bright red spots-the first juvenile I've ever seen on the creek. We we...

I've heard some people say that they find it irresponsible to release hatchery fish, as they'll muck up th...

I'm new to flyfishing but used to fish with bait on putah creek (i've taken a 20 year break), particularly what we used to call the island. I've have a couple of basic questions. Is it necessary to wade or can I be reasonably successful from the bank? Is the entire length good or just up by the dam?? The area...

Pretty good night on the creek for August (8/6)
(Preview)
Well, I didn't kill it, but got some good numbers. Last few times out have been pretty slow, but like MX-19, I decided to redicate myself to technique, quit being lazy, and really focus on fooling the fish. Somehow, that paid off. I fished five ways. Dry dropper (no luck, but man did I have some nice drift...
