Lots of heat and lots of bugs...
(Preview)
...but not many fish. I only caught 1 fish. Wet waded because of the heat. The good thing is that there were tons of flies coming off. BWO's and some other tan and olive mayflies. And they were coming off consistently from 3-8 PM. I'm not sure why I couldn't find the fish, though, because there were...

Power Bait and Worms
(Preview)
Hey Guys, caught a guy using power bait at section 1 on Friday. I informed him of the regulations and he apologized and left. He said he had no clue it wasn't allowed. Right after that I found four containers of worms and other trash left on the bank (I filled my net up with all the litter). Can we get more sig...

Skunk Job II - Skunk no more
(Preview)
Finally found some fish! I caught 4 out of a little riffle with a nice little ledge/chute in it. Then I went cold for a few hours and then it turned on! I caught 4-5 fish on the next 10-12 casts. It was super fun! Most in the 12" range.

...at my feet and actually in my net...partially. Long stupid story about why I was hand lining him in the last few feet to get into my tiny net...but, bottom line, he broke my line off while actually in my net and flopped out. At that point, I trapped him under my net and tried to scoop him up, but came up w...

I have seen 5 people over the past three days wading with no wading belt on . In each instance I have warned the person that in water like this if you fall in you will DIE. While I fully understand that we are free to do as we wish regarding personal safety, the dad in me insists that I at least say something. I r...

Fishing Report May 25
(Preview)
A chilly and windy day at access #5. Wind blew relentlessly all morning and early afternoon. I did manage to catch 3 fish on small nymphs (the usual 18 to 20 size nymphs) and one fish swinging a wet fly, one of my favorite methods to fish for trout. It was a smallish fish, quickly in and back in the water, but...

I was fishing out in bolinas this morning in the lagoon and caught three lincod on streamers. I had a blast feeling the fish attack the big flies. Has anyone ever fished Putah with streamers or tube flies? I feel it could be an effective technique at the large pool below monticello. I have personally nev...

Summer Flows Approaching
(Preview)
Looking at the annual flow chart, mid-April is when summer high flows start. It appears that we will be transitioning from this winter's high flow right into summer high flow. I will miss the easy 100-200 cfs waters.

When will the creek be fishable once more? I looked at the USGS graph and estimated by the end of the month the flows should be below 1000 cfs. I was looking to fish below monticello on Monday, however.
