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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

Weird day on the Creek today?

So, I fished Tuesday and Friday this week and caught a bunch of bows each day between 6-14" fairly consistently on similar patterns. Toward the end of the day Friday, I used a slightly different pattern after losing my "good" flies, (within like 5 casts I lost 4 flies - I'm an idiot) and I landed 2 of the n...
