Since Putah Creek is still unfishable, I did some lake fishing yesterday and today. I caught about 100 fish between the 2 days. Most of the fish were bluegill and redear sunfish. But having an extra rod rigged with a streamer I managed to catch a few carp, crappie, and bass.&...
I'm headed up to Oregon to fish the Umpqua and a couple other spots in the Elkton area. Does anyone have any suggestions for that area ? I've been checking the flows up there and they don't seem to have all of this rain we are getting down here. I've read that there have been alot of steelhead and spring Chin...
I hope I am not borrowing trouble by posting this, but figured I might as well "test" the waters now. I may have actually run into a few of you on the creek. I am that crazy kayaker you saw go floating by this summer. As I live close to Putah, I have started to become quite fond of Pu...
I'm thinking about heading up to Lewiston this Saturday and would like to know if anyone wanted to come along. I live in the Fairfield area. I've been up there a few times already this year and have had good success. I've heard they released the smolts last week and there are a lot of little fish in t...
Hi. I am the new guy on the board. I have been looking at it for a while and thought I should join. I am dying to hook some trout and get away for a while. Would any one be interested in fishing cache creek on friday and saturday? I live in Santa Cruz so car pool could be an option if you live on the way.

I can't take it anymore, is this rain ever going to stop! ? Everywhere is either blown out, or requires a driftboat. I guess now is a good time for learning to tie flies. Good luck everyone, theres always davis, or even lafayette reservoir.
I had a very disturbing incident at access 5 this morning. I arrived at about 8:30 and fished for two hours on the way to work. When I returned to my van, I found someond had smashed a side window and stolen several items, including my laptop. They even stole my cheap shoes while leavi...
Finally made it out to Putah last friday. The fishing was slow from 11-12 at access 2. Met another fly fisherman who said his friends call him EZ. He said he hooked a few fish in the morning, but nothing landed. I was talking to him about building bamboo rods as I switched from n...
I fished the creek today. The rain must have scared everybody but the fish away today. I strated fishing aroud the bidge area with size 16-18 zebra midges,phesant tails, and serendipitys with no luck down to the hole across from the trailer park. After yet another snag I put an egg...
Managed to get out for a couple of hours on Saturday, and despite an ugly encounter with a couple of baitcasting poachers (more on that later), had a great day.
I fished under the highway 128 bridge starting at about 10:30.... For the first hour or so I threw every midge pattern I had out there, but th...
I am just one of the newbie's and am heading to the creek to do some fishing in the rain before the creek jumps again. If any body wants to join me (maybe show me a thing or two about the creek) I am in a silver Subaru with Oregon plates. I am hoping to get there by 10:00 or so.
I was thinking of heading out saterday afternoon and giving it my first try in a few weeks. Anyone been out recently? What is the fishing like? If anyone is up for it, ill be around the Island, up to around access 5.
Anybody have anything to say about that piece of water???
Flows look lower coming out of Clear Lake...Any trout to be had?????
Just cabin fever starting to make me think of other places.
I made it out to the creek Friday. It rained most of the day, and I only saw two other fishermen. I started out by the bridge and landed two fish, both about 12 inches. Later, I moved down to #5 and fished the other side of the island. I hooked a nice-sized fish in the fast water.&n...
With snow on the mountains, clouds in the sky, and the sun peeking through, it promised to be an interesting, if cold day.
Well, it turned out to be not so cold, but very very slow, to the tune of fish for me, for Yukon Mike, and for a guy whose name I think is Matt from Colorado (lives here now). Mat...
Hi All,
The rookie is back. This is my third time up to PC. I fished Sunday and Monday.
On Sunday I caught two about 12" and fiesty , one on a green scud and the other on a chartreus egg pattern. The water was 50 degrees. I got some additional bites on Sunday and Monday on the egg, a zug bug and a olive woll...
I hiked up above the bridge for about an hour hoping to see the big rainbows jumping for bugs, but I didn't see a riser the whole evening. I put on an egg and caddis combo hoping to catch something down below. Soon after I hooked something that felt like a snag. The "rock" started movin...
Is it my imagination or am I seeing a whole bunch of unlicensed worm tossers on the creek
this last weekend? Doesn't regular fishing season on Putah begin in April? If so, where is F&G?
I would love to hear them tell me they don't have the funding to enforce the laws. If they did
enforce the law, they...
Anyone have an idea as to when the lake level will be below the glory hole? Also once that time comes will they boost up the release flows from the bottom of the dam to summer levels? Hopefully they won't!
