Hello everyone I just found this Putah Creek forum site and it looks awesome. I have wanted to fish Putah creek for a while now but I live in Lodi and have not had time to drive-fish-drive back.? This Saturday I think I'm going to give it a try but I have no idea where I should go and fish.? I am fairly new to fly...
I just want to say thank you to all those who have served and who are currently serving our country. We wouldn't be able to enjoy the rights and freedom that we have without you. Again, thank you.
Got to Douglas City at 9am. on thursday.? Fished a little there with no luck.Not knowing anything about where to fish I journeyed on towards Weaverville and than Junction City found some cool water there saw some steelies but still couldnt get one. Moved from place to place checking stuff out explori...
Subtitle:? The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The Good It was an absolutely beautiful day with no crowds other than the usual gob-lobbers at the resort hole above the bridge.? I think they were trying to?squeeze in?another day of fishing due to the Nov 15th regs.? I took my newbie friend Bob out and we had alm...
I've noticed a few guys have mentioned that there is a clean-up day on Nov 17th. I'd like to pitch in and help but I don't know the details. Can anybody fill me in?
i will be spending thanksgiving at my dads place in northern Idaho and from what ive been reading the october caddis hatch is well behind and i might nrun into some sporadic hatches does anyone know of any good october caddis nymph patterns that have proven efective i was thinking of making some huge fo...
Fished most of the day today from 11-5.? Seemed pretty tough today.? Lots of bugs and fish rising in all the areas I fished.? That seems like about the worst time lately to be on the creek for me, mid day like that.? I finally got a 17" native right below the bridge in some slack eddie behind a rock.? Fi...
I am looking for a little advice on selecting?my first?tying vise.? That said, I am wondering what I should be looking for in a vise.? I would like to get a quality vise, built in the U.S., with sufficient features to allow me to move into more complicated patterns, and in the range of $100 to $150. -- Edit...
Hey everyone, Lately I've been using a dry fly with a dropper rig since the flows were so low, but since the flows are up a bit, do you think I should go back to an indicator? I'll be there tomorrow, and hopefully they don't bring the flows back down to 46.
I've been semi-lurking on this board, leeching info from the regulars.? One tip found here, however, was so productive, I thought I'd better give back some goodies. The Fishing Report: Since the flows appear to be up a bit, I thought I'd start at the bridge.? The current still looked anemic to me and th...
So I accidently picked up a pack of Tiemco dry fly hooks (TMC 100BL) size 18 instead of the TMC 3761 which I usually tie on, when I went back to the store they were out of the TMC 3761 size 18's.? My question is:? Has anyone ever tied nymphs on dry fly hooks?? I imagine the only down size is that they are lighter...
Today's flow was a tad higher than the previous 4 Sunday midday trips at my spot. Wading wasn't a problem but today I only witnessed a baitchunker catch one small planter and that was it. Not alot of fly fishermen. I didn't spy any fish in the water, only one maybe breaking the surface, and of course a skun...
I just got back from the creek today.? Got 15 landed 10.? All of the fish were 10-13 inchers.? All where on an olive wolly bugger.? Meet WytEurp today. Fishing seemed to get tuffer in the afternoon but between 9-12 it was real good.
Fished a few different area's of the creek today with not much luck, 3 hooked 1 landed, Lilwhippersnapper hooked like 8 fish I think. All my fish took #20 zebra midges. Used mostly a fox poopah and zebra midge rig. Theres plenty of fish there, Saw plenty of fish rising. Not sure what they were taking, I di...
The flow at the creek is super low and some good runs are now exposed. Do the the flows stay this low all winter or do they let more water out? How can i find out when/if they are letting water out?
? Hit the creek at about 10am, weather was pretty nice, lots of bug activity in the air. I found some risers, but it took me about 6 or so patterns to match what they were taking. It's hard to tell sometimes when there are 3 or 4 different mayflys hatching along with caddis and midges. Once I started using a l...
Another blatant newbie question.... Got any tips for removing barbs? I'm not tying my own yet!? Actually looking forward to it, just no time yet. Trying to get ready for the 17th.? I've been told you don't even want to have a single barded hook in your vest if a warden stops you in the "off season&qu...
Hey everyone. I just started to get into fly fishing. I have gone 3 times now, and I am starting to get a hang of casting and such by watching others. Luckily, my parents bought a membership at Canyon Creek, so we have been going there alot lately. I love it! Anyways, here is my questions. When do I use a indi...
Hi Gang, I was out back on Monday,? added another great "the one that got away" story to my arsenal. BUT, what I want to ask about is a different subject.? I foul hooked my second fish since starting to fish the creek in August. I got him above the mid line, on the side, just behind the dorsal fin....
My dad and i float tubed section 1 of the creek last friday, and cought tons of fish. I landed bout 25 in 7 hrs, 1 was 19in and a fat bastard. I have fished here many times over the past few years, and have cought many trout, but none have been browns. I have heard of them being in there, and i have seen pictures o...
I snuck out of lab early again today.? I made it up to the creek about 4PM and fished for a little over an hour.? The fish were doing a lot of feeding in the upper half of the water column which made it easy to get to the fish.? I landed quite a few fish and hooked into many more.? The biggest to net was 15", b...
I noticed that the link to the Putah Creek flows indicates that the data is no longer available. Did they stop capturing that data or is it a short term issue ?
I'm heading up to the north fork stanislaus river with lilwhippersnapper this weekend. Anyone ever fish up there around the town of dorrington, Sougrass crossing, or boards crossing ? I know the south and middle forks well, but this will be my first time fishing the north fork. This will most likely b...
Does anyone here fish egg imitations during the spawn? I've never fished an egg before, do you fish it like you would a nymph with an indicator? And about what size and color are the eggs? Thanks for the info in advance.
Hit the creek at Noon and fished till dark......a few bait fishermen, but not too bad as far as being over-crowded for a nice Friday afternoon. I tried my usual favorite patterns for this time of year and the fish seemed keyed in on my #24 RS2 with no weight attached.? When I tie up these small RS2's, I like...
Made another trip to the Trinity on Friday.? Arrived there at first light.? It was misting--almost a rain--but perfect steelhead weather.? I fished a run that had a couple of riffles and nice pool and fished on through.? I was surprised with no hookups.?I fished there for about 30 minutes and tried fu...
Well, I'm another new guy in all senses of the word (to the sport, to the creek, to the forum) but i'm hooked already and made it up to the creek from SF for the 4th time today. I've been reading along for a few weeks now and figured it was time to say hello to the group since i feel like I've already learned a lot...
I fished the creek yesterday with jcombs.? The fishing was pretty tough with the low flows.? There were fishermen everywhere!? We were able to find some fishable water away from the crowds, though.? We landed a few fish but nothing very big.? Fish seemed to like Fox Poopahs and Copper Johns.??I wish I...
