Monsters Be Thar! V.2

Got on the road this morning at 6.00am. Almost said "nuts to fishing" when I got an eye full of the wind and wet. Arrived in a strange misty dawn at my favorite spot on Putah and proceeded to step ankle deep into fresh mud. So much for the dry socks. Opened with a Tan Fox Pupa and some heavy weight t...

This is the first time I've been compelled to post. I fish Putah regularly and some of you have probably seen me out there. Back to the report. I did pretty well yesterday.

Jesus H...Got to my favourite hidey hole last week and counted maybe 14 monsters in full spawn colors "doing their thing". The largest was a whopping 3-4 pounds easy, all I could do was admire them until the sun came over the hill tops and glinted me away from the scene. Cold, real cold, like f...

Fluctuating flows
(Preview)
I talked to the Putah stream biologist last week and the fluctuating flows came up. He said the reason for up-down-up is the maintenance work going on with the Putah South Canal-all 30+ miles of it. They cut the flow, work on a piece, then increase the flow (to flush it out?). He thought this pattern coul...

flows are back up a lil bit
(Preview)
so now that the flows are back up to 80 again. what are the chances that they might actually stay up there this time through the weekend. or will the raising of the flow in the middle of the week and lowering them at the end keep happening. wish they would just stay at 80 at least over this weekend.

For example, last weekend I fished the Middle Fork of the American and did really, really good on dries towards evening. I won't say specifically exactly where but Mosquito Ridge...

White trout?
(Preview)
I fished with a friend over the weekend and we spotted a white fish, that my friend thinks is a brown trout? Is he correct? The fish was definitly feeding, but we through everything we had at him , but never hooked him. The fish would even tug on my fly, and i would try to set it , and nothing. Any secrets?
