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.

Contrary to popular belief, dry fly action can be great! Caught 5 and had at least 10 hits.

Bass population
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I've heard that there's a lot of spots and smallies that got washed into the creek from berryessa. These guys will hurt this fishery big time. Anyone else seen the pods of bass? I believe there's no special regulation for bass in this body of water. I'll be bonking ones I catch.

Wee Bit Of Fun This Morning
(Preview)
Early start before the heat wave sets in... Broke in the new Fish Pond Nomad as the smaller net just wasn't cutting muster.. A total of 5 good grabs with three landed. Nothing spectacular, but I'll take a 3-fish morning any day on Putah! They were between 13 and 17-inches... One came on a size 16 olive...

Nice morning on the creek
(Preview)
Late start and lots of anglers, but the fish were taking a variety of flies. This one took a #20. Makes my landing net look like a toy. Had to use it like a tray rather than a net.

Caught 2 and moved one that was easily over 2'. Didnt see a whole lot of fish activity. Not sure if this is concerning especially with the bass population? Did manage to pull a 23-25" to make up for the low numbers. I'll take that one fish any day of the year. -- Edited by Rossflyguy on Saturday 19th of Augu...

PC's unique bows.

Always been curious as to why a lot of the bows I catch at PC have large orange slits under their chin. I've seen it almost exclusively on all the fish I catch larger than 16". I know they aren't cutbows, just thought it was interesting and haven't seen it on any other large Bows I've caught in CA. Could it be...

I was fishing between access 4 and 5 last Monday and had pretty good response from the fish to the flies I was offering. It started from the time I got there and lasted to the time I left. Caught 13 fish in 5 hours. Not a impressive amount but a lot better than I have done lately. It was actually the best day at P...

Tan Mayflies coming off
(Preview)
Anyone know what fly these are? They kind of look like PMD's. I also saw a couple nice sized caddis, much bigger than the bugs I normally see. Olive bodies with black heads and darker wings. I tried fishing a fox's caddis nymph which matched it really well, but no hookups on it.

I was driving home from Deer Creek when I saw a big plume of smoke over Winters. And now I hear that yet again, there's another grass fire. I wish that God would cut that place some slack.
