Got out to the creek about 6:30 Saturday eve as the sun was leaving the water.? there were some baetis and caddis flying around, but no surface activity evident. Tied on a few nymphs (green micro may fly and green fox poopah). Got a grab on the swing my second cast, but then nothing until I switched to drys...
I fished the creek for a few hours in the evening.? The birds were going crazy above the water eating some type of bug, but it was too hard to tell what kind with all the wind.??The wind was howling, making it hard to get a good drift, so I switched to an olive?woolly bugger.? I hooked five,?but only landed t...
Howdy from Texas guys, Rich reporting in. Texas is tough on a fly rod. I've managed to break two Sages bass fishing here. I'm tossing some really big poppers and keep hitting my rod. Biggest is about 9 lbs. I managed to land a 5 month job in Fairbanks Alaska though . If anyone is headed up that way look me up....

Do any of you know of any fairly easy hikes to go on where the fishing would be easier for her (and for me)?? We'd like to camp out a few days. Any help would be appreciat...

Haven't been to putah in almost 2 months, So I gave it a try this morning. Landed 2 rainbows about 12 inchers both were good healthy wild fish. I had to use a san juan worm and a LOT of shot to get down. The river is more siuted to spinning gear with the high flows. Near access 4 i sat down to take a break and sat ab...
I fished the creek today with some people from my Flycasting class at school.? The fishing was pretty slow.? I did manage to land one fish on a #16 olive Fox Poopah.? I also hooked a beast that shook the hook loose shortly after hook-up.? He took a #20 micromay.? I saw quite a few other fish, but most were ju...

Hi All, I just stopped to say Hello!? I have been watching this forum for some time now, and this is a great source of very useful information. In short,?

Went up and visited a friend whose family has some property in Nevada City.? Got away for a bit of fishing on the M and N Forks of the Yuba.? Not great, but not bad.? River was in decent condition but probably what it looks like in July typically rather than end of May.? Will probably be pretty ugly come late...
Worked the weekend and I know have two days off.? Fished the creek from 8 this morning until three.? Do any bugs live in this place anymore? Perhaps I left too early.? Not even a midge hatch to be seen.? Three fish on various bugs, nothing over 12".? It was slightly overcast all day with a mix of sun pe...
Hey guys, My friend Andan and I headed up to the Upper Sac Thursday afternoon and fished the evening and all day Friday.? This was my third trip to the river and the most time I have spent there, and it was definitely time well spent.? The flows are perfect at around 300 cfs and the water temps around 50 degr...
Just got back from a trip fishing the east, west and little walker rivers. 5 hour drive each way ! fishing was decent, the east walker below bridgeport resavoir is pretty much everything you could possibly want in a river, its awesome, and lots of bugs, i only laned 2 wild browns about 16 inches on elk har...
I was curious if anybody ever read or saw a per mile fish count on Putah Creek.? In other words the Truckee has so many fish per square mile or the Carson has so many fish per square mile.? It would be interesting to know since those of us who fish Putah a lot know how much the fish move around.? One day your fav...
I got back from Plumas county the other day and the water level on the MFF is dropping pretty fast due to the lack of a significant snowback this year. Conditions now are similar to those in July of last year. The forrest service is really concerned about fires this year and are proposing the closure of ma...

Headed up to kennedy meadows near sonora pass for the weekend. When I saw the river my heart sank, It was high and muddy, Basically unfishable, Maybe with bait a few fish may have been caught. I headed a few miles down road to the clark fork river and it was a little better but still to high and muddy. I lucke...
Just wanted to pay homage to my four legged family member who lost her life to a rattle snake bite two days ago.?? Ironically I had fished Putah that afternoon and as I was leaving I picked up a soda at the RV park store and noticed a flyer on the closed door warning that is was rattlesnake season.? I thought...
The flows have jumped back up above 600 cfs.? They'll probably stay there for a while as there is no rain in the forecast.? The winds have been ridiculous the last couple of days in Dixon, and I imagine that they're the same in the canyon.? It looks like they'll die down Wednesday and stay at or near castin...
