Hi, everyone. I'm gonna go full sob story here to try to pull on your emotional strings for my personal benefit . My wife and I and our two cats (Party Charlie and Giza) were all able to escape unscathed. But, we lost just about everything. I woke up around 12:30 at night. I thought my cats or a raccoon, per...

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...

dinks on top
(Preview)
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.

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

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.

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...
