Fish with parasites on base of dorsal fin
(Preview)
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.

river conditions
(Preview)
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...

When Will They Raise The Flows?
(Preview)
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.

Tree across the trail
(Preview)
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...

2017-2018 Spawn is in full swing - let them be if you care about the fishery
(Preview)
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...

Leaders for nymphing
(Preview)
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...

Is The Creek Alive?

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?

Spawn?
(Preview)
I've seen a number of posts on this thread referring to a November / December spawn on Putah Creek. My understanding is that generally rainbows spawn in the late winter or spring. Is this different on the Creek? I certainly don't want to fish over spawning fish. Thanks.

I fished all evening (fish were biting pretty well!) and the rod was still there when I got back to my car after dusk. I debated leaving it there but would hate for it to be sto...

Why the huge CFS drop?
(Preview)
It appears someone closed the faucet yesterday... A 170-cfs change seems drastic for a smaller drainage. I know flows drop during the fall/winter months for a variety of reasons. But this fast? From archival research a change of 100-cfs in a 24-hour period seems normal. I imagine fishing is go...

a-hole kayakers
(Preview)
a big pod of kayakers came right on up as I was fishing the turn behind five. Dude in helmet ( on Putah?, Really? ) comes right on up on where I was casting. I asked him to show a little class but he just sneered at me. Next time that happens I am gonna start casting right at the guy. What a bunch of jerks.
