I have had a number of people ask me various questions about the Putah Creek Angler survey form that is posted near the top of the Forum board.? First, let me explain why the information on these surveys is important and who is using the information.? I, along with a group of concerned Putah Creek angler...

Anyone know what fly these are? They kind of look like PMD's. I also saw a couple nice sized caddis, much bigger than the bugs I normally see. Olive bodies with black heads and darker wings. I tried fishing a fox's caddis nymph which matched it really well, but no hookups on it.
Trying to thin out the quiver here. I bought this last year and have fished it twice. Make an offer. -- Edited by skylerjohnb on Sunday 16th of July 2017 06:16:09 PM
Hey can you guys keep an eye out for 3 kayaks? I found one and plan on going back thursday to get it but there are still 2 missing so please let me know if you find them and I will or better yet just grab them and call me or solano county sheriff or winters Fire. I was fishing the creek today when it all went south a...
Yet another fire next to the creek. This marks 4 summers in a row. It went from 80 acres this afternoon to 1000 this evening. At this point it is 15% contained with a DC-10 ordered. Hopefully it is undercontrol by tomorrow.
I was driving home from Deer Creek when I saw a big plume of smoke over Winters. And now I hear that yet again, there's another grass fire. I wish that God would cut that place some slack.
...but not many fish. I only caught 1 fish. Wet waded because of the heat. The good thing is that there were tons of flies coming off. BWO's and some other tan and olive mayflies. And they were coming off consistently from 3-8 PM. I'm not sure why I couldn't find the fish, though, because there were...
Hey Guys, caught a guy using power bait at section 1 on Friday. I informed him of the regulations and he apologized and left. He said he had no clue it wasn't allowed. Right after that I found four containers of worms and other trash left on the bank (I filled my net up with all the litter). Can we get more sig...
Hey everybody, Ted here visiting from Houston, TX. My sister is getting married on Saturday so we decided to make a week of it and got a house in Sonoma. It a beautiful place but it's wine country and I don't drink... I was hoping to get into some fish while I was here and brought my gear. I went to Lelands but...
Decided to escape the heat of Sacramento for the next few days and headed out to Half Moon. Anyone know if there are still any resident fish in the creeks just south Half Moon Bay? San Gregorio, Butano, Pescadero Etc.
Finally found some fish! I caught 4 out of a little riffle with a nice little ledge/chute in it. Then I went cold for a few hours and then it turned on! I caught 4-5 fish on the next 10-12 casts. It was super fun! Most in the 12" range.
Where are they hiding?!?! Fished brown, green, red, black in multiple patterns. Nothing. I think there were some BWO's coming off. Some other tiny mays, too.
Anyone fish near big tree state park near Arnold, CA? I fished it for about 30 min last year and caught a small Brookie. It looked like hard wading access.
...at my feet and actually in my net...partially. Long stupid story about why I was hand lining him in the last few feet to get into my tiny net...but, bottom line, he broke my line off while actually in my net and flopped out. At that point, I trapped him under my net and tried to scoop him up, but came up w...
I've been saving money a couple of years to buy an old flat fender jeep but finally talked myself out of it, went a different route and decided to get more flyfishing time in. I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of G3 waders today but didn't feel like throwing money at boots yet. I've got an old pair of Wein...
The Online Angler Survey is working again. Please fill out a survey either on the creek or online each and every time you go fishing, whether or not you catch fish. These reports are forwarded to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for their use to help improve the creek. There is a link on the...
I caught my first catfish on a fly rod. Little sucker tried to clamp down on my thumb. With all the water this year the bass were biting as well! Pound for pound smallmouth fight better than trout!
I have seen 5 people over the past three days wading with no wading belt on . In each instance I have warned the person that in water like this if you fall in you will DIE. While I fully understand that we are free to do as we wish regarding personal safety, the dad in me insists that I at least say something. I r...
A chilly and windy day at access #5. Wind blew relentlessly all morning and early afternoon. I did manage to catch 3 fish on small nymphs (the usual 18 to 20 size nymphs) and one fish swinging a wet fly, one of my favorite methods to fish for trout. It was a smallish fish, quickly in and back in the water, but...
I fished #3 for only about 90 mins yesterday. I tried some bigger stuff just for fun. Nothing. Then, switched to the regular tiny stuff and caught 1 little guy, but that's it. Anything unusual working for you guys?
Hoping to make it out tomorrow. Got a new Tenkara rod to try out, Iwana 12. Any advice on where to go? What to avoid? Really looking forward to just getting in the water and being outside for a bit.
