All: Yolo County has closed all Fishing Accesses due to the rapidly spreading County fire. Highway 128 is closed at Pleasant Valley road and at Markley Cove. YC's notice says the closure is in effect until "the fire is out".

I’m pretty sure that river etiquette is that when someone is tying up their rig while standing in front of a hole that you’re not supposed to show up, step up to that exact water and begin fishing that hole.Thanks,Kevin Even after suggesting that I was just planning on hitting that water, these two pol...

So has anyone floated down the creek in a small raft and been succseful catching fish?

Anybody care to chime in on how the fishing has been the last couple of days? Are the Flows at their summer level yet? I looked at the charts but those things can be quite unreliable.

I caught a fish yesterday for maybe the third time. He came in really fast and I realized that I knew this guy. I let him loose as fast as I could ( thank Hod for barbless hooks ) , but it left me with a hollow feeling. I don't mind annoying the trout, but I'm not into abuse. Have any of you encountered the same si...

I've read the language of it but most of it seems insignificant vs the amendments made since 1968. Besides most winery owners say early nineties was too late to put in vineyard /winery on a slope.

I snagged 2 lines yesterday. First, was about 50 feet of nylon/mono/fluoro. I'm not sure what it was attached to as I had to break it off. But, 50 feet worth? What the heck is someone doing? Anyway, next was at least 100 feet of braided line I think, almost like a dacron backing. This was attached to...

While fishing today at access 5 the passenger's side window of my car was shattered. Time was somewhere in between 10:30am and 11:30 am. No fishing gear was taken, but a Black Backpack with my school supplies was taken. I am posting this as both a warning for anyone who leaves gear in their car. Be carefu...

Personally, I love helping a nearby angler get a picture with their catch. A recent experience left me wondering if some folks might find it intrusive to ask them to stop fishing and come take a shot of a quality fish. It honestly hadn't occurred to me as I am happy to take a minute to help out. How do you...

I was fishing the deer sign access yesterday afternoon and a Cicada landed on my friend's pack. Is this a normal thing at Putah? I've never seen one here before and wonder if the strong wind gusts blew him in from somewhere.. Got me thinking if I should tie up some foam cicadas lol.. In other news, fishin...

we lost a set of keys yesterday and are hoping they may turn up. We were at #3 on the upstream side of the parking lot and fished mostly upstream from that lot. Please keep an eye out if you are fishing there. Thank you.

Fished yesterday and caught a fish with visible copepod parasites at the base of the dorsal and adipose fins. Wondering if anyone else has seen this on the river. I pulled them off. Kind of gnar.

Hows it going guys, wondering if anyone has fished the creek last couple days. Hows the water clarity, wondering if these recent rains have muddied it up or if its still fishable conditions. Also curious if anyone has tried any streamer action lately especially down by the slower water -- Edited by d...

Any word on when the flows will be raised on Putah? I've been wanting to fish it for the first time this year but 80CFS in my opinion is just way too low.

cjkohen · cjkohen

Went to the bridge this afternoon and fished the turn and then was walking down to below staircase rapid. There is a big tree down across the trail that is blocking it completely. Had to hike up and around to the right over some sketchy bushes. With the low flows the best way down below will probably be to c...

Hi guys. I would love your help finding a Sage reel I dropped in the parking lot of the first turn out with bathrooms. I lost it February 5h around 10am. It’s a five weight with a rio line. I appreciate The help. 775 813 1910 thanks!

2017-2018 Spawn is in full swing! Please consider not fishing the creek until after it's over. The fish you catch now will have less success in producing the next generation of trophy fish. Lactic acid is toxic to egg viability. This is a small and delicate fishery that has been through a rough few year...

If you tie your own you can make stuff that works sooooooo much better. imo the creek you don’t really cast. Get down from the butt as quick as possible and make a long section of flexible line like 8 lb. So much easier to get a good drift and also sinks way faster with less weight. Modern round bobber indic...

The creek's water flow chart has flat lined for the last week or so. Is the creek still alive with fish? Any concern with the spawners?

Went to the creek today without the fly rod. Took the wife and introduced PC to my 1 yr old daughter instead. Picked up two garbage bags full of trash. Saw maybe 3 redds today. Walked around rattlesnake island and access 3. Not sure where the fish are spawning or if numbers of breeders have dropped consid...
