Putah Creek Fly Fishing

SK60 · SK60

Like MX19 yesterday, went to the creek with a friend at Midday today. Was slow, although we both lost a few small (first year) fish using bead head may fly patterns. 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 thew a caddisfly nymph about 2 feet under a dry caddis which I used as an indicator. Every fouth cast we had a fish on. What a day. A c...

I, like most fly fisherman, practice catch and release fishing.? I've never kept/eaten a fish I've caught, even when DFW regs allow it. Are there times that any of you keep and eat what you catch?? I've heard some people say that they find it irresponsible to release hatchery fish, as they'll muck up th...

Hello: I'm new to the board, but I've been fishing Putah on and off for about a year now.

However, I realized...

Hi everyone, new to fly fishing and heading out to Putah Creek on Sunday for my first day of actually fishing. I've fished (not avidly) for many years and always wanted to learn what I consider the 'purest' form of fishing. On a recent trip to a non fishing lake I bought a $29 blister pack to learn how to cas...

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...

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...

The creek is still fishing pretty well. The flows are high, but the fish are willing. I fished all of my go-to spots and found that I had the most action in shallow pockets and runs.
