Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a putah trip on monday, but wanted to see if it was going to be worth the trip.
Any feedback, tips, access info would be helpful. I'm still not sure which access number is which. If by chance anyone fishes it monday the 21st, let's hook up for some coffee and fish stories.

Myself and a couple of buddies fished the Upper Sac river and Pitt River a few days ago,with mixed results.The Upper Sac fished decent in the lower stretches especially for larger fish 16" to 18" and the upper area (cantera loop) was not that good mostly 8 to 12" fish.On the other hand the Pitt river was o...
I am hoping to stop by Putah on my way home from Chico and was wondering if there are any other spots besides #5 and below 128 to wade fish. I remember #4 fishing great this time of year last year, but I almost killed myself trying to cross above the riffle. Any info. will help. Thanks.

Anyone have recommendations for salmon this time of year ? Both location and patterns would be nice. Most of the upper reaches of the big rivers are going to be closing soon and I wanted to try to catch one or two before the closings while the fish are still "bright".
Here is the fish of the day. When I hooked this fish it went crazy. It screamed across the creek one way then the other. Usually I lose fish when I get this much line out, but I managed to land it. I tied up a new fly. Fox poopah on a size 20 Tiemco 100. [img]https://i4...
Second time fishing putah creek. I hooked 3 and landed 1 all above access point #1 in fast water. I was using a tan fox pupa with a wd40 on the dropper. All fish seemed to be planters. Does the slower moving water right below access #5 produce or are there any suggestions on wher...

In most cases i coul...
i managed to stick a fillet knife into a new set of rather expensive gortex waders this past weekend and was wondering if anyone has any experience repairing them, suggestions on what to use would be greatly appreciated. and what the heck is up with no posts in 11 days? isnt anyone fishing. i'm kinda tir...
I've heard that Haypress Creek in Sierra City (Wild Plum campground), which feeds into North Fork Yuba, is good during July...dries for smallish brookies.
Anyone have experience on Haypress? What about August?
-Reg
Got out to the lower Yuba for the evening on Sunday and was sorely disappointed. Man, how that river has changed. The floods of this last winter have completely tranformed the layout/flows of the river above the HWY 20 bridge. While the floods of the year previous also transformed the ri...
Hey,
Even with the heat, if you are wading without waders it feels great. Two of the largest arteries
run down through the legs and guess what? The heat is very tolerable. I fished yesterday and
hooked up two which I lost but what the heck. I used a 16 hare's ear on the upper and a 18 micro mayfly on the...
Went on a Jeep run over the weekend and camped alongside the E. Carson Just south of the 89/4 split. Spent less than an hour fishing but hooked a few fish 10-14" range that fought rather well. The bait dunkers in the group did well with worms.
High temps were around 85 degrees with some clouds and thun...
fished all day on the back side of the first island above lake solano, fish caught,8 total ,5wild all around 10 to 14 inches. I really thought i was gonna get my first nice brown trout, i fished a nice looking area and seen a nice brown of at least 25 inches rise three times in the same spot, i tossed everythi...
Does anyone here have any experience fishing in Michigan, or have any information about it? Is there was any good fly-fishing near Ann Arbor? Thank you for your help.
was curious when do the high summer flows normally start to come down to say 400 or less. these flows and this heat is making fishing rather diffucult !
Got onto the creek around 6:00 PM. Decent hatch of small yellow bodied mayflies and some bigger peach colored caddis with green bodies. Took a sample of insects with my kick-net and found mostly small mayfly nymphs, tiny midge larvae, and a few larger green caddis larvae....
Up in Angels camp right now and just finished the middle fork...DYNAMITE!!! I produced a bunch of nice browns(10-14 in.) and a rainbow~7in. in only a couple of hours. fished the North fork last night and caught some nice bows(12in) and a brown(7in). SOur grass CG was the ac...
Another beautiful evening on the creek. My favorite new hole has been producing on the dry/dropper combination. Caught 5 or 6 decent fish - all wild (biggest 14 inches) on the dropper and 2 or 3 more on the dry, including a nice football right at dark.
E/C caddis with a midge pupa d...
Have been fishing the creek lately mostly up near the resort on the resort side of the river and mainly in the evenings,its been fishing decent with periods of real hot action.Yesterday I fished for less than 2 hours and landed 8 fish and lost 3.One fish about yanked the rod out of my hand,and fought like...
I am interested in purchasing a new 15 hp four stroke boat motor for my 13 ft aluminum boat. The motor may also be used as a kicker for a larger Crestliner that I may be purchasing later this year. Does anyone have any advice on which brand motor I should buy?
the 28th i was fishing a spot just before the 30 mile and hour left hand turn before canyon creek. i caught a 22 inch 3.5 lb native rainbow on the 28th on a gold/red kastmaster. on the 29th i caught 3 planter/farm fish a little upstream from the "y" or split. last weekend i was fishing ne...
Got out to the creek around 6:30 PM today.
Had the best day I've had on the creek in some time. Having just come back from a trip up north (Oregon rivers and the Upper Sacramento), I was of a mind to stick with Dry flies as nymphing putah can be such a hassle with all the brush on the banks and al...
