wet wading the creek
(Preview)
Hey,
Even with the heat, if you are wading without waders it feels great. Two of the largest arteries
run down through the legs and guess what? The heat is very tolerable. I fished yesterday and
hooked up two which I lost but what the heck. I used a 16 hare's ear on the upper and a 18 micro mayfly on the...

Help on choosing a boat motor
(Preview)
I am interested in purchasing a new 15 hp four stroke boat motor for my 13 ft aluminum boat. The motor may also be used as a kicker for a larger Crestliner that I may be purchasing later this year. Does anyone have any advice on which brand motor I should buy?

July 5th report
(Preview)
Got out to the creek around 6:30 PM today.
Had the best day I've had on the creek in some time. Having just come back from a trip up north (Oregon rivers and the Upper Sacramento), I was of a mind to stick with Dry flies as nymphing putah can be such a hassle with all the brush on the banks and al...

Lake Solano

 Fellow Anglers,
Do any of you fish in Solano for rainbows and browns? If so what are the secerts? Sinking line? Fall River Long drifts with floating line anchored up? Do most go up to the mouth of Putah to start fishing? Never have fished the lake but thought it might be a goo...

Waterboatmen
(Preview)
I've noticed that there are quite a few waterboatmen and backswimmers in Lake Solano and the slower areas on the creek. Does anyone know of any good patterns to imitate them? I'm sure the fish would tear 'em up.

Why no posts ?
(Preview)
I see where a lot of folks view this site, but how come no one has anything to discuss or share ? Is it because we either fish Putah Creek or one of the local lakes/resevoirs and there really isn't much to talk about ?
I realize a lot of good trout fishing can be had up north and that we all are limited in terms...

I fished the creek today for a couple of hours. I don't think that I have ever had such a bad landed/hooked ratio. I hooked 8 fish but only landed 2: one a little hatchery fish, the other a 14 inch football. I thought the one was a lot bigger because of how fat he was. ...

Putah access
(Preview)
I was up at Putah for the first time a little while back and ran into a couple of fly fishermen who told me I couldn't fish from the bridge to the dam, that only members of the resort can fish that stretch. So I turned around and ran into another guy who told me I couldn't fish downstream from the bridge...

Putah Creek Flow Link?
(Preview)
I see that something has changed on the flow link. It no longer has the historical data and covers an entire year instead of 31 days. Is there any chance we can get back the original link?

Hot Flies ?

Hey Everyone,
I am heading to the creek tomorrow and I was wondering what flies I should bring. I always take some midges along, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other flies that I can tie up before I go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
