Got out for a couple hours today.? Arrived up from #3 about 2pm. Water is still dropping.? It's surreal to see the "subsurface" features of this creek become visible. First time for me. What were long slow draws back in August, are turning into "martian pocket water" bordered b...
I'm new to the board and have a question regarding the "emerger swing" that so many of you have mentioned in past posts to be so effective while fishing putah creek. And since I plan to fish the creek this weekend I was hoping that you could help clarify some questions for me. I've searched aro...
Hit the Silver Fork yesterday for some quality small stream action.? I had a blast!? I caught a ton of fish and despite the small size (8" average) they were exceptionally beautiful? The rainbows there have an irridescent purple sheen on the sides instead of the usual silver/pink coloration.?...
Ok ... let me come clean! I had a religious experience about 9 years ago, on Prosser Creek in Tahoe. I was a hack fisherman.? My family was spending the week with the family of one of my wife's coworker's.? The husband, an avid outdoorsman, invited me to go fly fishing with him. I said heck ya!? He loaned me...
Just returned from my second annual october fishing trip on the deschutes river. This year we saw a lot of steelhead. I think together we hooked 15 in three days. Trout and mountian white fish always are plentiful, but the steelhead are great. We float the river between beavertail and macks canyon, wi...
Having never fished Putah in the winter, I was wondering if you still needed shot with these low flows to get your flies down to where the fish are.? I am heading out Thursday and wanted to ask.? Thanks.
Im new to this site. I used to fish the lower part of the river near the bridge for about 7 years when I was younger. I took a pretty long break from fly fishing. I was wondering what length of a rod would be good up in the creek? I have a 9' but I think that may be too long for that section.
Does anyone know the regulations about fishing as you approach the dam?? I was there a few weeks ago in my float tube and I often fish the area between the overanging power line and as close as where the chain-link fence can be seen on the opposite side where I'm sure it says NO TRESSPASSING.? A couple of gu...

Was thinking of getting on the Putah at 7:00 am Sat morning. How does the sunrise activity compare to dusk on the Putah? I drive up from San Fran and can get there any time on the weekend. Also, since I am new to the Putah Creek, what good fly shop is there for any last minute supplies, Putah bugs etc...?

In another thread the topic of fish morality came up along with the stress levels of fish, and proper catching and releasing.? I am by no means a expert on the proper way to release fish, and in an effort to help as many fish as possilbe to survive, what do you folks think is the best way to play, land, and rel...

Landed 11 fish, lost 2 others, all were around 12-16" and one big fat fish that measured 19". All in all I had a lot o...
It's been awhile since I posted, but I've been following the reports. I haven't been to the Creek since early Spring, but I enjoy the late Fall/Winter months because of the low flows. Based on the reports wading must be pretty good? I'm hoping to loose a few flies and catch a few fish within the next few da...

As a newbie to the Putah, I undersatnd that the creek flows are subject to the upstream dam, however why are there such large fluctuations and why is the flow down all the time in the winter? Is it always low in the winter?
