Has anyone read some of his books ? I was thinking about purchasing a few, trout bum diary's, standing in a river waving a stick, or death taxes and leaky waders. Is it good reading material ?
Well I went to Putah with my buddy on Sunday and we both agree "what a beautifull area".? We arived at about 7am and parked in the lot at #5.? We fished around #5 and made our way about 1/4 - 1/2 mile upstream using the path that's not really a path it's more like a jungle path.? We were jumping over...
nice to meet both of ya, captain and Emerger. even with 5 people wishing me good luck today i got SKUNKED (but no surprise. i've only caught one fish on the putah). i started at my favorite quote "crappy day" spot. i saw 12 fish. i started fishing, then i saw a hen digging a hole, so i stoped and wa...
well just wondering if anyone watched it this morning, they had a great show on the trinity from a few days ago. man it was fishin great. learned a few things that i am gonna try on putah when i hit it up on tuesday. we shall see. dont know how well they will work. on is having a lil bit longer leader to flyline h...
I am acting on a request from a few people who wanted a little more info about the spawners in Putah,and I felt it was a good time as well because it's that time of year.I'm sorry this may be a little redundant for some of you,especially the senior members of this site.The spawn usually starts around late N...
Ever hear of Didymo or Rock Snot? This is an algae that is spreading accross the country in major trout waters. It has been reported in the South fork of the American River in California and I had the displeasure of seeing it in the SF of the Feather below Little Grass Valley Reservoir. It makes NZMS look l...
This is the first time I've been compelled to post. I fish Putah regularly and some of you have probably seen me out there. Back to the report. I did pretty well yesterday. The higher flows have helped the fishing quite a bit. The real reason I am posting this report is because the 'sporting' fly fisherme...
gonna be ordering a few well actually a bunch of flies for xmas, and lookin to get a few orange eggs for putah, and wondering what hook sized eggs to i need to get. all my flies are coming from bluefly so here is the link to the eggs if it helps. thanks brian http://blueflycafe.com/product/Glo_Bug_Orang...
Jesus H...Got to my favourite hidey hole last week and counted maybe 14 monsters in full spawn colors "doing their thing". The largest was a whopping 3-4 pounds easy, all I could do was admire them until the sun came over the hill tops and glinted me away from the scene. Cold, real cold, like f...
Got my butt kicked by the creek today.? Wheewwwweeee!? Cold cold cold and it only seemed to get colder.? Spawners and redds everywhere.? Very cool to see, and watch your step.? Small olive mays and midges, some were large too.? I dunno where the bite went but I only saw a couple rises today also which mig...
I talked to the Putah stream biologist last week and the fluctuating flows came up. He said the reason for up-down-up is the maintenance work going on with the Putah South Canal-all 30+ miles of it. They cut the flow, work on a piece, then increase the flow (to flush it out?). He thought this pattern coul...
I just fished Baum Lake last saturday.? Lots of bugs coming off but the most and biggest fish were? caught on a black bead head wooly bugger.?Got fish almost every cast from a canoe with the bugger.
Hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving and are enjoying the incredible weather we're having!?Looks like it's going to hold through the next several days. I'm going to try and make it to Putah on Sunday and will probably start around the bridge. If you see a?green 2 door Tahoe lisence MATUKA1, I'm there...
well i might be hittin up putah on the 4th of december, that will give the fish time to adapt to the flows and it should be good. if anyone wants to join let me know. either pm me or email me at bclemens81@hotmail.com should be some killer times with the higher flows. i hope. eric i know you are down just hit me...
just wondering if anyone knows how this is fishing. my boss that i took out a few weeks ago that caught fish wants to go fly fishing again, and also wants to bring his son. figured id bring them to amador since you can bait fish, fly fish, and just plain ol fish without any wading, regs or anything like that....
Howdy All, Needed to get out today ... bailed on work, couldn't get to the creek til about 3:50, 4:10 by the time I got in the water. Couple of casts, didn't like depth ... adjusted, 1 foot shallower, and hit this bad boy on second cast!?(on the swing)?This is my new personal best! I'm stoked! It's funny wh...
unfortunatly my opinion was just confirmed! "The salmon just aren't showing up" . Thats what the Green scene on CBS was about tonight. The yuba is wasy behind and so is the Russian river. The Russian has had about only 100 fish in total. ?o y'all think this is just a late season or is this gonna...
so now that the flows are back up to 80 again. what are the chances that they might actually stay up there this time through the weekend. or will the raising of the flow in the middle of the week and lowering them at the end keep happening. wish they would just stay at 80 at least over this weekend.
Yes, I need to redeem myself from my skunking on Sunday.? I fished all day and did not land a fish, and only had one hook up.? I fished most every type of fly in my box - but nothing.? I think I was the only person on the creek not catching fish.? I saw some huge logs swimming around but they would not look at my fl...
There are new regs this year and if you don't like heavy crowds there are lots of other options that fish well in the winter. For example, last weekend I fished the Middle Fork of the American and did really, really good on dries towards evening. I won't say specifically exactly where but Mosquito Ridge...
well made it to creek for a full day of fishing. lets just say i have been home for 3 hours now and i am still defrosting. damn it was cold today. well?it was me and my fishin guru cappy. thought it would be crowded, but wasnt really that bad, we hit the spots we wanted to hit at the perfect time, everytime we go...
it was nice meeting some of you today. puttin faces with names. it was so funny when a few of us were cleanin up above one and saw about 3-4 fly fisherman say hey thats a nice thing for you guys to do. there is more trash on this side. i almost wanted to go off. then they asked why are you guys doing this you didnt...
I hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving.? I was up in Washington State spending some time with the in-law and fishing.? Weather was nice and clear with a little bit of wind.? Temp ranged from 15-30 degree's.? Needless to say it got real cold at times.? At one point during the day I moved to a new hole and bu...
Think you know all there is to know about your quarry? Go to www.bcadventure.com/ronnewman/rainbow.phtml and find out just how "smart" these fish are. Scary.
?I was fishing the creek on sat morning? and found a net? caught in a bush. It's shown a bit of use but still in good condition. Anyone ought there lose it?
I lost a white scientific anglers fly box today somewhere above the bridge right around were the dry creek bed enters putah, It's full of mostly midges. So if anyone happens to find it, Would nice of you to return it. The fishing was pretty slow today, Just some planters landed, Alot of fish hooked and lo...
Any one been fishing this year yet?? Status and especially location would be good.? Since the flow has been fluc. so much, wonder if fish are early this year but then again, isn't it always questionable to outflows in every past year??
