I'm a catch and release purist from Minnesota who will be in the bay area, and am looking to put some line on water in Putah Creek. I promise to be respectful of your local waters, and was wondering if any of you could offer me a bit of advice on Putah creek. I've been going over the Forums and can get a general...

Are there still any trout in it? Me and my Dad used to go down there all the time (not flyfishing, spinning rods). But, I wanted to try some time flyfishing. Just wasnt sure if trout still are in it.
Fished the Creek on Monday 12-10. Started at the bridge with only 1 other car in the parking area. Immediately my buddy and I started hooking up on LARGE fish. The thing is they also got off as quick as they were hooked, about 6 between the 2 of us ALL LARGE fish. Moved to another location and we both got the P...
I have a fly that I need someone to tie for me @$1.75 each, at least one dozen. It is a nymphal pattern, size 10 on 1x (standard length) hook, bead head, palmered hackle, looks like antron dubbing for the body, feather/tinsel tail, and fine copper wire open wrap on body. It is an older pattern, not found in...

Who here has a membership to them? I want to find some fishing buddies to meet with next time I go camping there. I am only 17 and just getting into flyfishing. Loving it so far. Coming from pretty much only bass fishing, this is a challenge. Caught me some pigs from a local lake 5 minutes from me. Caught off...
Today was a nice day at the creek. Me and a friend got to the creek at about 7:30 and fished till about noon. The action started right when we got there too, but picked up at about 10am. I lost 3 pigs probilly over 20 inches or so, and then I lost about 10 or so more that were smaller, I was just having one of those...
I recently learned something about the PM system that I had somehow missed in the 2+ years I have been a member.? I always had to go to the site to see if anyone had sent me a PM and Kieth recently told me that I could change a setting in my profile to automatically receive an email notifying me that a new PM had...
I fished my?favorite holes today and caught a lot of fish in the 12 to 14 inch range. I stuck 3 monsters, one of which I know was over 20 inches.? So I need some advice from some of the masters out there who can actually land one of the big ones.? Its fun playing them for 30 seconds and all but I would really like...
This probably doesn't apply to many of you, but if any of you are on the Peninsula, Orvis in Palo Alto is moving to San jose and is selling their entire stock at 40-60% off.? I walked in there just to look around and dropped $100 in a heartbeat, including flies for a buck each.
just wondering if anyone has ever fished these ponds at the ranch. check out this site and look at the photos check out the reports. there are some big fish up there. this is a 4 hour drive but when you average 25"+ fish does anyone care. it looks like a nice place to fish wouldnt mind doing it some time...
First off I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi.? I have fished Putah for about 5 or 6 years now, only the last year as a fly fisherman though.? Unfortunately, I'm posting for the first time to give warning to everyone else.? I fished the creek this past Sunday between access?2 and 3?from about 9-1...
I ran into a situation today on the creek that raised a question of proper fly fishing etiquette, and I am interested on hearing your thoughts. I went out for a couple of hours at dawn to fish a spot I like, a fairly small hole about 30 feet across.? I like it because dries will usually catch a few fish there,...
Brian: in honor of your Amador Trip, I have attached a picture of a fly that is deadly on Amador cut/bows. If you name the fly-no help please-I will send you these 4, which are the last of my collection.
I arrived at putah at 6 a.m made it to one of my favorite spots by flashlight, Had to wait a bit to fish due to darkness. Started out a little slow, Fish were rising all over. I started using midges and the fish wanted nothing to do with em today. After awhile of trying every midge i have, and several other pat...
So I needed a break from some of the studying I have been doing lately, so I sat down at the bench I wasn't looking at coming up with anything in particular, but here are a few that I came up with. #1 - Caddis Emerger... or that's what I am going to call it. #2 - Midge #3 - Zebra Midge #4 - My attempt at a WD-40 #5 - Em...
I'm on a minimalist kick and replaced my vest with a Fishpond San Juan chest pack that?I really like. I asked the vendor who sold me the vest where I hook on my net and he didn't really have an answer, other than to say he doesn't use a net. Instead he "tails 'em." By that he meant that he brings the...
Arrived to the creek this morning at 7.00am. After seeing what Brian landed a few days ago I began to understand what the term "Putah Hog" really meant. Clearly the fish I have been managing to bring in were not in the Hog Class, fine fish, but I needed some work. So,today was a school day on the...
I don't know about you, but in this colder damper weather I have trouble tying the dropper fly to the upper fly with cold fingers. As an aid, I use a small piece of closed cell foam cut from a 1/6" thick sheet. I run the point through the sheet and loop and tie off the tippet along the bend as usual. This w...
