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...

I lost my drivers license at putah today. my best guess would be in access 1 in the back corner near the port-a-john where we got set up. I usually take it out of my wallet to put in my waders incase F&G ever asks...

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.

0wt
(Preview)
The intent was using dry flies or emergers but there was very little surface activity compared too 2 weeks ago and after a couple hours I succumbed to the bobicator and a #20 midge. The 0wt has no backbone so I figured if I hooked anything big I'd just break it off rather than kill it trying to land. I end...

Does anybody have a pattern/size suggestion for the little dinks that are rising in the morning? There were plenty of rises at all of the places I fished today. It would be fun to target them with some light gear. I fished for about 4 hours this morning for two decent fish. The catching wasn't the gre...

Fish Handling

I've been watching a bunch of YouTube fishing videos for an upcoming project. I am amazed at the lack of awareness anglers are posting with very poor fish handling techniques. There are a ton of videos where guys aren't even wetting their hands before touching the fish. Also, dangling small fish in...

Anyone ever fish crayfish/crawdad flies?
(Preview)
I was wondering if anyone ever has success using crayfish flies, either dead drifting or as a streamer. I see the little things all the time at the creek and know that fish love them elsewhere (e.g. Truckee).

Record fish in the creek?
(Preview)
Been fishing the creek for a few years now and today had easily my largest trout ever on my line. 24" roughly and fat as hell! Unfortunately after a few massive jumps it spit my hook out. I've seen others catch that size and a couple larger but what is the biggest caught out of here? Curious.

Cool Photo
(Preview)
My lovely aunt sent me this picture of my grandfather after a morning of fishing at Putah. She believes the photo was taken in the area of the now Lake Solano park circa 1967 or 1968. The dirt road is certainly interesting! Looks like a Chinook to me

Slab on the swing
(Preview)
Landed 2 on the swing (my first purely swing-targeted fish on Putah Creek - I had 2 nice tugs each of the previous two times I swung, but no connections). Then, I lost two nymping. Then, landed 2 more on dries - again. All decent fish. Attached are the swung up 'bows.
