No New Posts creek flow (Preview)
Has anybody noticed that the flow has been at 700 or more CFS for days now? Surely that will help a little bit to get the mud out.

Let's all say a little prayer for the folks in Butte county. We may want the Gloryhole to go over but I sure don't want that dam to fail.

No New Posts Are these your indicators? (Preview)
I found these whilst wandering around the creek last Saturday. They are of such high quality and the smaller one is obviously a prized antique so I though that one of you old timers, or maybe a guide lost them. Shoot me a p- mail and I'll get them back to you.    -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 10th of February 2...

No New Posts Yet another clueless goober ( 1 2 ) (Preview)
Does anybody know this guy? I drove up and there he was, sitting on the bank and stressing out some poor TAILHOOKED fish by letting it sit in the current until he could get it in. The kid who wet wades and uses that is old bamboo rod said that he had already talked to him so I didn't see the point in engagement a...

No New Posts bad news for man made gravel areas (Preview)
the newly constructed gravel spawning bed that myself and a lot of others created is now completely covered with about 2-3 feet of mud. I took a ride up to the resort yesterday morning just to look at the gravel augmentation site just above the resort and was bummed to see the mud that washed out of the can...

No New Posts Trout streams near Novato, CA? (Preview)
Hi everyone, I just moved to the North Bay for a job and I am desperate to wet my line. I have no idea what the area holds, but I am eager to start exploring. Ideally I like to fish for trout in moving water. Does anyone have any suggestions for trout streams within 100 miles of Novato, CA? I am not asking you to...

No New Posts Size 20 Hooks (Preview)
I caught over a dozen fish last Thursday. None on my size 16/18 Hare's Ear or PTN, all on my size 20 midges. Of all the fish caught, mostly small to medium size, I was able to bring only two to hand; the rest were "self-release" at some point after the hook-up with the hook still on my line. I don't mind so muc...

I went to take a look today and the water from four on down was as muddy as the Mississipi below Memphis. And the flow was something like 40 CDs. this is fish killing mud if it doesn't clear up soon -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 16th of December 2016 03:36:22 PM -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 16th of December 20...

No New Posts Fishing Report (Preview)
Very windy and pretty chilly today. Casting was a challenge but fish were in a good mood. Brought a half dozen fish to hand (8" to 12 ") but still lost more than 50% within the first 10 seconds of hooking them. I tied size 20 patterns on a size 18 hook and caught a few but patterns on the actual size 20 hook a...

No New Posts Salmon or just massive trout? (Preview)
I grew up in San Francisco, CA and never fished Putah Creek. I'm back for Thanksgiving and decided to give it a shot this morning. Water was a bit high and I wasn't quite sure where to go, but ended up just hiking around and came upon a school of about 6 massive fish. Were they salmon. The glare was bad, but I s...

No New Posts Current flows (Preview)
This week flows were increased for 5 days to pulse more water down the creek channel below the diversion dam at LS. At the same time the flash boards at the Los Rios Check Dam in the bypass were removed to allow salmon to move up the channel for spawning this winter. Expect flows to decrease through Friday...

No New Posts Lost rod section (Preview)
Hi, As I was bushwacking on the highway side of the creek upstream of Access 1, I dropped a section just above the handle section of my fly rod. It's dark blue and has the stripping guide and one snake guide on it. "905" is hand painted on it. If you find it, there's a Berryessa Brewing pint for you and invalu...

Originally posted November 12, 2014- It's that time of year again: big fish are starting to move around in preparation for their annual ritual. Some sites already have fish and redds. Winter flows appear in place at 135 CFS already because of the drought. Hopefully, they will not drop below 100 CFS ov...

No New Posts Pinch Your Barbs (Preview)
ive been collecting a lot of flies out of trees on the Creek.  You just need to know where to look and you can get lots of free flies. Yesterday I found about 30 in various spots. 3 of them had pinched barbs. Police yourself and do the right thing.

No New Posts Volunteer help: the creek is in trouble (Preview)
 All: In early March this year a heavy rain storm cell sat over the badly burned Cold Canyon/Wildhorse Canyon watershed for several hours, dumping inches of rain onto the steep canyon slopes, and heavily eroding the burned ground. The result was a sudden high pulse of mud and water roaring down Cold C...

No New Posts Trout with white on its head. (Preview)
I was fishing this weekend near the bridge and noticed a white blob moving upstream and realized it was a fish. I tried my best and gave it some really good drifts without any success. Just wondering if any of you have caught that trout? I am so curious to see what was going on with it.

No New Posts Flows at 50 (Preview)
For unknown reasons flows were dropped in a few hours overnight to 55 cfs. Fishing is likely to be terrible until they are brought back up. Expect Winter flow levels (75-100 cfs) to be the norm within 2 weeks.

Hi Everyone! I've been fishing/learning Putah Creek for the last year or so.  Yesterday was my personal best.  From dawn to dusk I hooked about 15 in the 6-12" range.  Half of those I got in the net.  About 5:30 I tied into my biggest Putah Rainbow yet (see pic).  What a beautiful fish to end an absolutely...
