Hey everyone. I just started to get into fly fishing. I have gone 3 times now, and I am starting to get a hang of casting and such by watching others. Luckily, my parents bought a membership at Canyon Creek, so we have been going there alot lately. I love it! Anyways, here is my questions. When do I use a indi...
Hi Gang, I was out back on Monday,? added another great "the one that got away" story to my arsenal. BUT, what I want to ask about is a different subject.? I foul hooked my second fish since starting to fish the creek in August. I got him above the mid line, on the side, just behind the dorsal fin....
My dad and i float tubed section 1 of the creek last friday, and cought tons of fish. I landed bout 25 in 7 hrs, 1 was 19in and a fat bastard. I have fished here many times over the past few years, and have cought many trout, but none have been browns. I have heard of them being in there, and i have seen pictures o...
I snuck out of lab early again today.? I made it up to the creek about 4PM and fished for a little over an hour.? The fish were doing a lot of feeding in the upper half of the water column which made it easy to get to the fish.? I landed quite a few fish and hooked into many more.? The biggest to net was 15", b...
I noticed that the link to the Putah Creek flows indicates that the data is no longer available. Did they stop capturing that data or is it a short term issue ?
I'm heading up to the north fork stanislaus river with lilwhippersnapper this weekend. Anyone ever fish up there around the town of dorrington, Sougrass crossing, or boards crossing ? I know the south and middle forks well, but this will be my first time fishing the north fork. This will most likely b...
Does anyone here fish egg imitations during the spawn? I've never fished an egg before, do you fish it like you would a nymph with an indicator? And about what size and color are the eggs? Thanks for the info in advance.
Hit the creek at Noon and fished till dark......a few bait fishermen, but not too bad as far as being over-crowded for a nice Friday afternoon. I tried my usual favorite patterns for this time of year and the fish seemed keyed in on my #24 RS2 with no weight attached.? When I tie up these small RS2's, I like...
Made another trip to the Trinity on Friday.? Arrived there at first light.? It was misting--almost a rain--but perfect steelhead weather.? I fished a run that had a couple of riffles and nice pool and fished on through.? I was surprised with no hookups.?I fished there for about 30 minutes and tried fu...
Well, I'm another new guy in all senses of the word (to the sport, to the creek, to the forum) but i'm hooked already and made it up to the creek from SF for the 4th time today. I've been reading along for a few weeks now and figured it was time to say hello to the group since i feel like I've already learned a lot...
I fished the creek yesterday with jcombs.? The fishing was pretty tough with the low flows.? There were fishermen everywhere!? We were able to find some fishable water away from the crowds, though.? We landed a few fish but nothing very big.? Fish seemed to like Fox Poopahs and Copper Johns.??I wish I...
Headed out to the Creek tomorrow for the first time in over a year. Anyone planning on being on the water tomorrow. I would love to pick some of your guys brains while on the water. PR
I got out to the creek this afternoon for the first time in many, many months. I'm 14 weeks post hip replacement surgery and finally felt it was OK to walk on uneven and underwater surfaces. For the last several months I've been "fishing" vicariously by reading all the posts. I picked up some...
Hello board, I live in Benicia and have fished Putah for eight years. Ive followed the board for quite a while and found it to be informational and entertaining. I know Greg and Matt and have probably met some of you on the creek.? I'll be there on the?17th and look forward to meeting you regulars.???? Ja...
I was just wondering who felt the quake.... I live about 2 miles from the epicenter, so I felt it big time. I thought my house was coming down. This is the first big quake that I've felt...?I don't remember 89's quake since I was only 3 when it happened.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rick, I've been fly fishing for many years, but have never been to Putah Creek. I usually head to one of the Stanislaus or Tuolumne Forks, however, I'm interested in trying something new. I've been reading here and there on this forum for a wh...
Hello everyone--shameful of me to have read and learned so much from you all without ever thanking or taking part.? I have yet to fish Putah, yet one day... Time often limits my trips closer to home and the Sierra Nevada.? I appreciate the way this board openly shares information (without giving away h...
Finally got one. my first trout on a fly. I snuck out the house spent almost 4 hours trying to get some trout in one little old hole near the bridge. Actually I was casting around almost 360 degrees but that one hole kept my attention. I saw a bunch of medium sized rainbows in feeding mode and I could not get t...
well no dunks in the water today. no lost fly boxes. it was just me and my old boss out there today. taught him the ropes and told him have fun. fish jumpin and surfacing everywhere. couldnt really pin-point what they was eating. had my boss on a wooly bugger for a lil while. i have a parachute adams size 16 o...
Yes, the spelling error was intentional, as I was referring to folks fishing with bait, not actual insects.? Concord Bob and I met up Friday morning, as we do every couple of weeks, and decided to fish the bridge area for a change.? With the low flows, I switched to using a caddis dry as an indicator with a...
does anyone have some info on how this is fishing right now. starting at nimbus damn and workin down stream. i have heard that it is the best fishing in yrs, for half pounders and steelies from 2-5 lbs, is this true. ill probably be going on friday if anyone wants to join. it is my back yard so not to far from m...
Fished for about an hour in the afternoon, swinging scuplin patterns. Missed one nice one and landed one about 18' or so. Thinking about heading out early tomorrow before class. If anyone wants to meet me out there, pm me.
I am looking for some recommendations on boxes (or other methods)?to store/organize my fly tying equipment and materials? I unfortunately don't have enough space in my home to have a dedicated tying bench, so most of my tying gear is stored in ziplock bags.? I was thinking a light weight tool box with...

I snuck out after lab today for some evening fishing.? I got on the water a little after 5:00.? There weren't too many people out there which was nice, so?I was able to fish a couple of holes that I haven't fished in a while.? I can't believe how low the water is.? I could barely get a drift in water that I coul...
yes i also lost a fly box yesterday as well as breaking 1/2" off my bottom half of my rod.?if someone does find that black case, please let me know, there are about 4 flies that were just thrown in there and they still have some tippet material still attached to them, all similar flies are placed toge...
Was there in the afternoon for a skunk near the bridge. It possibly could be just on me, the beginner cause i saw lots of fish and other fishermen catching. I tried both nymphs and dries and only had the fish following the dry fly - a moth-looking small fly. anyways it was good to be out, its nice weather, ni...
I got back from a tough weekend up in Truckee late yesterday evening, man did I get my butt kicked!!? I fished for 12 hours straight on sunday only managing four fish up to 8inches!!!? I could blame the conditions if they weren't absolutlely pleasant, or my fly selection if I hadn't gone out and spent six...
