I fished the creek Saturday morning with chucktheduck.? The flows had dropped quite a bit, and the fishing was tough.? We came across a monster brown in a deep depression behind some rocks.? Chucktheduck made a couple of casts to him when, out of nowhere, the fish rocketed out of the water right in fron...
Hi All, As you know we play with some very big fish each year at this time. I missed last weeks adventure to Isla Guadalupe and fished Putah instead. It was a toss-up. Catch a pile of great little fighters under clear skies and perfect conditions....or miss a once-in-a-lifetime Great White Shark attac...
Just got back from a week on Oahu. Before I left I debated whether or not to attempt some salt water fishing....thought maybe I might be pushing it a little...but then figured I was going to be surrounded by salt water and you only live once, so decided to check out some bone fishing.
Called Nervous Wat...
Now that the flows have been choked back, I am curious about how deep we should be fishing.? It seems to me that fast water dictates that fish are either going to be at the seam of slow/fast water or right on the bottom behind a rock.? With slower water the fish can be anywhere. I've not fished this creek muc...
Hey guys, I'm coming in from out of town on business and was wanting to sneak away Tuesday afternoon to the Putah but I just noticed the flows were dropping rapidly....is it still fishable ? I've fished the Putah a couple of other times but it was always 250-500 cfs....any advice appreciated.? Thanks,...
So, with horrible traffic, my pleasant Friday evening of fishing turned into a mad scramble to get on the creek in time to catch a few. Got on the creek about 6:00 which nowadays is 1 hour from dark.? Got a few grabs tightlining, nothing to hand. Got up to a certain 'rock' and got three fish to hand, biggest...
Chuck's post on finding fish on putah got me thinking about something I'd like to ask your guys opinion on. When it comes to current how fast do you guys think is to fast to hold fish. Do any of ya actually have success in fast white water sections, Like the one at access #1 below the long slow section, that w...
After drifting the Lower Sac on Saturday I stopped in to fish Putah on Sunday for a couple of hours. Caught a nice rainbow?within a few minutes time and then almost stepped on a rattle snake?when crossing the island at access point 3.? It didn't give any pre-warning and I didn't see it until I was only a fe...
It has been said that 90% of the fish hold in 10% of the water.? So I was wondering if the10% of the fishermen who catch 90% of the fish would be willing to reflect on some types of water that 90% of fish hold in 10% of the time.? Good, now that everyone is thoroughly confused I was basically trying to narrow do...
I saw this notice on the Napa Valley Fly Fishers Web Site about their Putah Creek Cleanup Day.? Maybe we can get a group together to join them. November 17 is Putah Creek Cleanup Day. Meet at parking area 1, cleanup from 9-noon, lunch and raffle from 12:00 - 1:00, and then fishem' if you brought em'! http:...
hi everyone -- this is a cool website/message board?you have. while searching around, I noticed an old post on float tubing in the upper part of Solano lake.? my questions is, is now a productive time to do that, or have the fish mostly moved up higher in the river?? any insight is helpful. thanks, matt
Hey guys I was just bored at work today (as usual) and I found a bunch of trailers for the new 2007 Drake Magazine Film Awards.? Some of the clips are really cool including the new AEG film from Iceland!?? Check out the website if you have an hour or so to kill and/or you are in need of an instant fish fix. here...
I got out of lab early today, so I had to make a run for the creek.? I took a look in one of my fly boxes and realized that I was running low on two of my favorite patterns--that figures!? I tied a few of each and a few of a new pattern that I've been working on (a drowned bwo).? Then, I was off to the creek.? I got the...
Fished the lower Sac yesterday on a nice float with a guide in training. He was great and the fishing was too. Hooked around 15 and landed 11 or 12...beautiful rainbows all 14 to 17 inches, one 17 inch steelhead and a real nice small mouth bass on one of the little creeks that feed into the river. Fox pupa, s...

Not fly fishing but a few of you know what I've been up to lately on the weekends.? Its been a great deer season with perfect weather at times.? After passing on several legal but smaller variety of blacktails. My buddy Gary and I went back deep into the hills in search of the big ones that we knew were out th...

?It's been along time since i threw out a post, and its been a real long while since i fished the creek, well about 5 weeks. Which is way too long for me not to be fishing (since i usially fish the creek 2-3 times aweek, for the past 5 years), but?my time off from the creek was?all for good reason with my wife ju...
It was a good afternoon out on the creek Saturday. I stopped outside access three at around 3pm and worked the pocket water up from there with a #18 BWO and a #22 midge pupae dropper. It was slow at first, hooked a nice 15-16" bow that shook me off almost instantly. Moved upstream a little and fished f...
well just got off the phone with them, looks like they will be replacing the broken part, and hopefully the will also take a look at the loose handle, just think that part needs reglueing, i should have my st croix imperial 9ft 5wt 4pc back to me by the 19th, which as you all know is a friday, and my fishing da...
This weekend is my annual three day float trip on the deschutes, and we are saving a day to fish the upper sac on the return trip. I thought about fishing around pollard flats, but I have never fished on the sac, lower or upper. Can anyone help directe me in a direction that would allow two people to fish for...
So - Jcombs and I hit the creek about 2:30 and as soon as we got in the water, I noted that the flows seemed higher than on Friday.? (Jordan -? you'll recall me mentioning that a few times).? When I got home I checked, and sure enough, they bumped them by 60 CFS - but it seemed like more than that to me.? Well, as...
It's amazing what a difference a week makes.? MX-19 - that rock produced zero fish for me today, but the fast water below and above produced countless natives to 17 inches. I spent the afternoon fighting my way through bushes and fast water to get to areas that haven't been fished in a while.? Seemed lik...
I fished the Truckee for three days over my birthday weekend.? It was an awesome time.? I caught a ton of fish although I didn't land any really big ones.? My best was about 16" rainbow that absolutely mauled a big #4 bunny leech as I stripped it behind a rock in about 10" of water.? That was fun!...
