So, one other reason I love Putah is the wild blackberries.? Man are they good right now.? As I got to the creek, flygirl was hiking out with a giant ziploc full of them.? I was quite jealous! anyway, we chatted for a while and agreed to meet up for some evening fishing sometime soon. Headed down and had the...
Got out to the creek Sunday evening around 5:00 PM.? There were a few mayflies in the air, but it was pretty windy.? Tied on? my typical tightline rig for my usual access 5 loop (similar to MX-19's access 5 loop I'm sure), and had at it. Well, I got two decent fish to hand (12-14 inches) in one pool, and then s...
Well i am back at EZ Auto Solutions once again. If you need a car truck mini van or suv now is your time to buy. We have now teamed up with Paul Blanco Chevy (the original fresh start program) and have the Fresh Start Program running full force (and its better than ever). We have over 40 Banks at our disposal f...
I've been lurking this board for awhile, and I have finally decided to open a membership.? I'm AbelBoy.? I fly fish like all of you.? I have never fished Putah, but from what I read, it's great water.? One of my friends fishes it quite a bit, so I'll be fishing it with him. I usually fish to the north and east...
Not so sure I'd want to fish across the puddle--my waders are dirty, hat soiled with sweat, shirt faded and torn, a vest that only gets "a washing" when I mistakenly take a wrong step, a clear conscious to fish downstream, and no fear of tying on an attractor.? Check out the heated controvers...
Fished the MFF over Father's Day weekend and had a blast. Not very many BIG fish but lots of average wild fish. The evening hatch of caddis was a blast tons of bugs coming off the water and many fish rising to them. Hiked down below Nelson Creek about a mile missed one really nice fish that snapped me off. To...
The fishing on the creek has been pretty good ..Walked the normal loop at #5 yesterday and pulled fish from every spot ,but one.The smaller fish are everywhere and the bigger guys are playing hide and seek.I found a small section of water that has been holding browns, and I found another spot on wed.I ha...

So, I will be fishing with my rod and reel in salt water, and I just have the normal floating line that came on the reel. In general, will all fly rods and reels work for both salt and freshwater, or are they made specifically for one? I will most likely be fishing every day with it, and it will be fished in sal...
I had a great day Saturday with a few friends on our annual trek in Yosemite. As usual, they continued along the trail to Half Dome while I fished for a few hours along the Merced and a tributary.? Unfortunately, this year's trip was scheduled earlier in the season rather than later in July or early Augus...
Since I plan to fish some spring creeks in a few weeks I was curious, What advice would one give to someone that has never tried this ? I figured 7x and dry's will be on the menu. I guess the question would be this, Is a spring creek really that much tougher then your average sierra freestone river, or tailwa...
I am pretty sure I will be going tommorow and saturday. I will be camping on the resort side, so I will be fishing that area of the river. Haven't been to Putah in days! Got bit by the bass bug and have been concentrating on them for awhile. I have caught some pigs too! Anyways, what has been working lately? I...
I read in another post that Putah is not what would be considered a good place for a beginning fly fisher. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place that would be a better learning water for a beginner?
Hey everyone,
This summer i am going on a one week rafting trip down the grand canyon's Colorado River and I know that there is great fishing down there so if anybody knows anything about the fishing down there, rigs flies and other stuff, id like to know. I am probably a little early asking about this bu...
are there any websites or past threads that give specific times for planting fish for any rivers or streams ???.....so i can avoid em planters are no fun :(
I just got back from a trip with my wife to Hat creek and while the fishing was slow, I did manage to get caught my first brook trout.? It actually occured on thursday evening about an hour after my wife and I arrived at camp.? Caught it while swinging a soft hackle pea**** fly.? The strike came at the very la...
I just moved to citrus heights and was wondering if there were any good fly shops around. I went to keine's fly shop but they didn't help too much with any trout rivers. Any suggestion's would help.
Has anyone fished Quarry with float or off shore. Just thinking about heading out there for an afternoon, i know its stocked fish but just wondering if anyone give shoot over some helpful advise. thanks

I haven't been fishing long, I'm still learning and I have a long way to go, but I learned a very valuable lesson Monday out by the bridge..... There is a very fine line between chest waders and a bucket.
Still pretty new here.? What type of reel maintenance should I be doing and how often?? I also saw a few post about the line.? I typically just unwind everything every other time or so and wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth.? Any other tips to keep everything working smoothly??
Just back from fishing the north yuba for 3 days. It was fun, fast action fishing pretty much the whole time, The fish ran small but hit hard and fought like champs, average fish was 6 to 12 inches. Best flies were orange stimulator, or a yellow humpy for the dry's, Best nymphs to use were black copepr john...
My son and I came across this "dead" beauty floating down the Stan.? Up until then, I had not seen anything quite like that--looked more like a roach on steroids!? We took it home to investigate.? Was I surprised to find out what we have...Or think we have!!! ??? ???? *highly predacious and v...
I was out fishing one of my favorite areas this past weekend and I ran into the only other fisherman on the river.? He told me make sure you pinch your barbs the ticket is very expensive.? I asked him how much, and he said the fine is $800.00!!!? He received a ticket and said he nearly quit fly fishing after i...
What is the secret fly for the Pink Albert?? I?can almost bet that DTP is?up there catching those fish on the Upper Sac.? Anyone with a dry or nymph?pattern should send out a pattern.?
Got out to the creek sunday around 5:30.? Hit access five. didn't see another person, which was nice. Was still about 90 degrees, so I decided to wet - wade.? I may not do that again b/c the poison oak on the trails is becoming pretty hard to avoid, and waders can help with that. Anyway, as I headed out to the...
