Met a fellow named Jerry. Good talking with you if you read this board Jerry! Said he hit 2 X?12-14" earlier. Only fished 5:15p...
FISHED THIS PAST SATURDAY NEAR OLD STATION WITH MY WIFE. WE JUST BOUGHT A TENT TRAILER AND IT WAS OUR MAIDEN VOYAGE. LANDED A FEW SMALL HARD-FIGHTING 6" BROWNS AND BOWS ON AN ADAMS AND BROWN HACKLE PEA****. MY WIFE ISN'T INTO FLYFISHING SO I PUT AWAY THE ROD AND BUSTED OUT THE OLD ULTRALIGHT SPINNER...
I'll be up by Whiskeytown Dam this weekend and plan on hitting a couple of spots on Clear Creek for the opener.? Last time I was up there I did a fly-by of the section down by the Bridge in Igo (Placer Drive, I think), it looked promising?but didn't have time to wet a line.? Has anyone ever tried that area?? I...

I fished Putah yesterday, Sunday 4/20, for a couple of hours.? I saw at least 15 people fishing during the time I was there. Today there haven't been any online Angler Surveys received, except mine.? I hope that everyone else is filling out the surveys that are located at the Survey boxes?located alon...
Hey fly swappers, I don't have my list with me but I think there are still 3 or 4 guys who need to get me their flies. If we could try and get this wrapper up by next week that would be great! If you know you owe me your set please let me know when it's coming.
Thanks,

?Whats going on everyone? I am going to the Fort Bragg / Mendocino area this weekend&next week. I was wondering if any of you would know some rivers or spots to fish up there? Thanks in advance, Worthy
I have heard through the grapevine that there will be a new and rather large campground at access#4.I dont know when the project will comence but they have already put in the bathrooms and drilled the well.Personally I would really hate to see another campground go in on the banks of Putah,we already h...
Hi Guys, In recent years I have been getting into Freediving and Spearing fishing more than flyfishing. My main fresh water fish of choices is the squawfish. ?Does anyone know if it is legal to spearfish in the creek? I know that the laws are very strict when it come to freshwater spearfishing. Thanks,...
Well, I read Bono's post and thought I'd go out this evening (Sunday) and see what I could dredge up. Aside from a few fish rising spordically in the lake near the bridge at dusk, I didn't see a trout. I did, however, see three large Pike Minnows (that's what I believe them to be - Greg or someone else - do you...
Three of us made a run to the East Walker last Friday and Saturday, then hit the Yuba on the way home on Sunday.? I had never fished the East Walker before.? We fished the Nevada side at Rasaschi Ranch.? It reminded me of a desert version of Putah.? It was pretty small water, with tons of brush around the ban...
Guys, my daughter is in the hospital so there will be a slight delay in getting the sets out. Since I don't have them all yet any way it might end up that there isn't a delay. Packrat
Hey guys .....my first post here..just wanted to share some photos of some chunky fish caught on the Yuba in the last few weeks.....Flies used:? Hogans s&m, San Juan, Hogans March Brown Clinger, PMD Comparadun, and The WDW......"Wack um"
In 2003, there were about 70 salmon spotted in Putah below the diversion dam. There have been relatively few since then. They have closed or will likely close both commercial and sport salmon seasons this year all over because of poor returns. Since there was talk of a possible salmon sighting in Put...
I would have to say that i have never in all the 30 years of fishing Putah experienced such sh---y or should i say crappie fishing!I'm happy these last few days to even get a grab!I'm not catching or even seeing the small 5 to 8" fish that are normally so pleantyful this time of year,this really worri...
Ken Davis, stream biologist, has reported the presence of fingerling trout in Cold Creek.? These fish will he come trapped and die when the creek dries up later.? If you have a fine mesh net and are there, you might want to try a different kind of trout fishing to help the population grow.? It is particul...
i know its the last saturday in april, does anyone know what day they will stock, i would really like to take my girlfriend out there with either a fly rod in hand or some light spinning tackle with a woolybugger and let her have some fun. but i want to take her either the day of stocking or the day after. so do...
Fished the Yuba with Captain and Otter on Sunday. There was the usual PMD hatch around noon with intermittent March Browns and then a light Caddis hatch in the evening with another mayfly that I could not ID. The unknown mayfly was about #16-18, rusty brown with a creamed colored body. Anybody have any...

It's running at around 90 cfs right now, and it's supposed to be cold during the week but warming up for the weekend.? Reports seem k...
I have not been on the creek since Dec/Jan.? With flows at 400, is it worth the effort? It's always been <100 when I've? been there and I'm concerned about access and taking a dunk with one mistep. Thanks, Eric
as i grew up in the YC i decided to make a trip up to see the family and well....hit up the yuba of course.? What can i say i have been addicted to that river since i was a kid (for those of you who just started fishing it, you should have seen it 10 years ago, amazing).? I used to fish the hallwood area but? since t...
