New regs for Putah
(Preview)
Silly maby. But the regs say as of November 15th. Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used. So I guess a multi fly set up is ok? Right. I am still stuck on the old regs single barbless hook. And zero limit!!! Sound right.

Fishing Report 11/14

Subtitle: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The Good It was an absolutely beautiful day with no crowds other than the usual gob-lobbers at the resort hole above the bridge. I think they were trying to squeeze in another day of fishing due to the Nov 15th regs. I took my newbie friend Bob out and we had alm...

Monday report
(Preview)
Fished most of the day today from 11-5. Seemed pretty tough today. Lots of bugs and fish rising in all the areas I fished. That seems like about the worst time lately to be on the creek for me, mid day like that. I finally got a 17" native right below the bridge in some slack eddie behind a rock. Fi...

Indicator or not to indicator, that is the question.
(Preview)
Hey everyone, Lately I've been using a dry fly with a dropper rig since the flows were so low, but since the flows are up a bit, do you think I should go back to an indicator? I'll be there tomorrow, and hopefully they don't bring the flows back down to 46.

Today's flow was a tad higher than the previous 4 Sunday midday trips at my spot. Wading wasn't a problem but today I only witnessed a baitchunker catch one small planter and that was it. Not alot of fly fishermen. I didn't spy any fish in the water, only one maybe breaking the surface, and of course a skun...

Too Low Flow?
(Preview)
The flow at the creek is super low and some good runs are now exposed. Do the the flows stay this low all winter or do they let more water out? How can i find out when/if they are letting water out?

Hit the creek at about 10am, weather was pretty nice, lots of bug activity in the air. I found some risers, but it took me about 6 or so patterns to match what they were taking. It's hard to tell sometimes when there are 3 or 4 different mayflys hatching along with caddis and midges. Once I started using a l...

I snuck out of lab early again today. I made it up to the creek about 4PM and fished for a little over an hour. The fish were doing a lot of feeding in the upper half of the water column which made it easy to get to the fish. I landed quite a few fish and hooked into many more. The biggest to net was 15", b...

Hit the creek at Noon and fished till dark......a few bait fishermen, but not too bad as far as being over-crowded for a nice Friday afternoon. I tried my usual favorite patterns for this time of year and the fish seemed keyed in on my #24 RS2 with no weight attached. When I tie up these small RS2's, I like...
