I'm new to flyfishing but used to fish with bait on putah creek (i've taken a 20 year break), particularly what we used to call the island. I've have a couple of basic questions. Is it necessary to wade or can I be reasonably successful from the bank? Is the entire length good or just up by the dam?? The area...
We worked the third shift of the DFG fish rescue today from 6 till 2. Over a thousand fish were electroshocked last night and were then placed in holding pens. The average size of the fish we saw were ten to twelve inches most were rainbows some browns.The larger fish were mostly browns , twenty to twenty...
Well, I didn't kill it, but got some good numbers. Last few times out have been pretty slow, but like MX-19, I decided to redicate myself to technique, quit being lazy, and really focus on fooling the fish. Somehow, that paid off. I fished five ways. Dry dropper (no luck, but man did I have some nice drift...
I have not been out to the creek in a few weeks...My wife and I have been busy enjoying our little boy who was born on my birthday earlier this month..
I had a few hours to kill around mid day.. So I made my way up to the creek.Not going to say what stretch or water I visited today ,but I will tell you that my good...
Can someone tell me the limit regs for putah (no..no..no.. not because I want to keep fish, I am strictly catch and release) but because I have been to putah and sometimes seen bait fisherman walking out with a stringer full of fish the size that I know they are over their limit .? It pisses me off and I woul...

My family is looking for locations for up to 20 people to spend a week together each summer. House keeping cabins on a lake preferred, but nearby access to water OK. Units sleeping 4-5 each optimal. Within 150 miles of Sacramento best. Any suggestions are most appreciated.

I slipped and fell backwards and my??head met granite, Very hard, Was like getting hit in the back of the head with a sledge hammer. I hit hard enough that I could not move my arms o...

In my introductory post, I said that this fall will start my first season?on Putah, but I'm not new to fly fishing.? A fishing buddy?will be introducing me to this body of water.? My wild thought is whether an 11 foot 6 weight?"switch" rod might be overkill for Putah.? For the past two years,...
Just about everyone has spent hard earned money to buy quality fly fishing tackle.? A North Carolina man bought a "toy" setup for his granddaughter.? He caught a record Channel Catfish with it while she was on a potty break.
Does anyone ever fish Putah above berryessa?? Or is there even any public land to access the creek from? I was looking at the stream on google maps (satellite), and it looks pretty cool.? Lots of boulders and nice riffles, and probably has a nice flow when the tailwater is roaring in the summer. http://...
Headed out for a 1hr and 30min drive up the dinkey creek and Wishon Res. First stop was at dinkey creek, it was just crowded but there was about 20 stock bow in one large pool.. the fish show no intres in eating there plus it was crowded.? I figure that wishon would be better, so i went up to wishon.? I spotted...

I went out today with my gf cousins, their third time fishing. I got out to solano park in the mourning. there were fish jumping everywhere and a lot of them looked to be a really good size. unfortunately I didn't have my fly rod cause the youngsters don't fly fish. so I tried everything I had and even bough...
As for me being able to save dough on tying my own trout bugs.
I guess I would have to tie constantly for a couple of decades to make up for my modest tying kit. I tie for fun and variety, and to understand the fish/prey relationship better.
Has anyone ever done a count of the # of flies they actually lose...

I'm heading out to the Paso Robles area this weekend to hang out with some friends.? We will be hanging out around Lake Nasamiento, and I was hoping to get away one morning or evening to do some fishing.? I was looking through google maps and it looks like there is some decent water coming into the lake.??...
As most of ya know caples is pretty much being drained, But did you know rumor has it silver lake is next, probably next year some time. It needs the same repairs done that caples needs. Hell, I say drain more lakes and smash some dams !
so a very close fishing buddy of mine said he wanted to go fly fishing. which he has only done once and that was in the winter time for steelhead. so figured why not hit the yuba. so we did. we walked all the way up to wht weir and fish ladders just to take a look. and what do you know not one single fish. and not ev...
