Bono,
I was looking at the photo album and noticed the picture of a carp you have there. Was it caught in the creek or in the lake? Was he using nymphs or streamers? What kind of flies would work well for carp? Just curious.
Did anyone make it out this weekend?? I couldn't.? I was stuck at home doing homework.? The quarter is coming to an end, and there's a lot of work to do.? Hopefully I'll be able to make it out this coming weekend.
It looks like the flows are back up in the 60's.? It seems like they fluctuate quite a bit around the weekend.? During the week, it seems that they've been more stable.? I just checked the lake capacity and it's about 93% full and still rising slowly.
I would like to trade guided flyfishing trip for access to dove pheasant turkey or duck hunting for myself and possibly my 10 year old son.Willing to nogotiate just about anything even possibly tractor work (mowing,rototilling ect)also. Thanks Greg Bonovich "Bono's flyfishing" 800-480-5285 or...
I'm sorry to report, this will be my last post on the board. I'm moving to Texas in the morning and thought I'd say thanks to everyone on this board that has helped me become a better fisherman. My last trip to Putah was 2 weeks ago. I landed a really nice 22" bow on my backup 4wt. As luck wo...
I just wanted to let you all know that I had a nice chat with a 12 year old kid by the name of Daara.Might sound familiar to you all because he has posted on this site numerous times before.He informed me that he has or maybe is still working on a site dedicated to fishing the Northbay area(I hope I'm righ...
I read somewhere that the upper section of Putah before it runs into Berryessa holds smallies.? Is there good fly fishing up there?? Any good access? Charlie

Hasn't been much snow so I think there will be some good o...
Got to the creek about 7 a.m, started around the bridge, alot of fish were rising, hooked 2 on a #20 griffths nat, lost em both, they were small, about 10 inchers. After that had a long period of no action, moved down to access #1, an area I rarely fish, hooked and lost one on a red copper john, was a decent fis...
Has anyone ever fly fished in salt water along the coast?? If so, what size rod do you use?? What size/type of flies do you use?? What do you typically catch? -- Edited by JT at 08:45, 2007-02-23
I have decided to re-schedule our meeting due to the fact that a lot of people who would have a lot of input on these issues or need to hear our issues and concerns cannot be there. I will try to co-ordinate the next date when some of these other people can make it. I hope this didnt inconvenience anybody, I w...
Just a heads up, there is a redd in the first riffle above solano, so kindly do not fish it.? The fish on it are small, 16in looked like the average that were on it when i passed it this morning.? They are currently spawning, and I watched one pair drop eggs today.? Thanks.? This morning was 2 for 4, fished pr...
Are they trying to let the lake fill up by cutting back the flows?? The last couple of times that it's rained, they've cut the flows back into the 40's.?
I was going to head up to the upper sac. this weekend but due to the uncertain weather I have decided to try something a? little closer to home. Heading up to the north fork mokelumne tommorrow near the town of jackson, So can anyone give me any info. on this water, I'd like to know about how big this riv...
I made it out to the creek the other for the second time since the new year.? All and all i have done better.? What was interesting was the fact that, while fishing around access five, I found what looked to be an adult stone fly.? The wings folded falt, unlike a caddis, and I am 98 % sure that it is a stone.? It...
Went out for a few hours today at around 10am.? Started at #5, water looked good, nice and clear, also the weather was good with no wind but lots of clouds.? Saw some rises in a deeper, slower pool downstream of a fast run.? There were also a few baetis spinners and tons of water boatmen in the stills.? Trie...
I camped at the resort and observed and fished each day.? The fish seemed to be located in the beginings of deep slow water at the end of faster runs.? I watch numerous fisherman fish the same water.? Many people fished the same water but only a few caught the fish.? I had sucess but only after I let the wate...
Just moved here from South Florida, where the flats fishing was way too easy.? All I had to do was zing out a chartruese clouser and strip it close the bottom and come home with sea trout, redfish, snook, pompano, flounder.? I should have taken a video of my first attempts at fishing Putah Creek.? It was h...
Did a little research and it appears the section of the upper sac. from box canyon dam down stream to scarlett way is open year round with artificials with limit, Was wondering if anyone has ever fished this area, I may try to make it up there this weekend, Trout fishin in the snow, Sounds pretty cool to m...
Fished all over the creek today and did not catch a damn thing. Fished up and down, and back again and nothing. I was thinking the water flows would help, it was good 2 weeks ago at 68 CFS, but nobody was getting anything today. One guy caught?2 on a Hare's Ear early this morning. I threw everythi...

Hey all, I was just surfing the net and I found something that might be of interest, given the recent decision to start a Putah creek NPO.? The Northern California Federation of Fly Fishers gives out conservation grants to applicants deemed worth, and they have one coming up in June 07.? If we get organ...
Sorry Greg, I looked for information about the planned meeting but couldn't figure out where it was.? Perhaps making a new post and creating a sticky would help some of us old folk ? Just to let you know in advance that I'm not going to be able to make the on creek meeting.? I have a once a year meeti...
Well after a heartbraking day on Putah I was relieved to see that others shared my misfortune (except JT?).? Fished all day on wednesday up the creek and back from #3 to #1 with #20 flashback pheasant tails and got nothing.? Not even a nibble.? Fished all day friday in all the same spots and struc...
Hit the creek about 4 pm to see if the fish were still biting.? I fished my go to spot and am happy to say the fish are still biting.? Landed 3 on three different flies.? One on a size 18 micro mayfly, one on a size 16 tan and olive Barr emerger and one on a size 22 neon green midge.? The water is a little off color,...
Hey everyone I'm new to the board and also to Putah.? She's been kicking my butt lately but I'm not giving up!? Anyways I was looking over the forum and I had some concern over a post about a guy walking all over the redds of some fish.? I realized that I don't know what they look like or wha...
