I walked this stream about a month ago and watched a kid catch a salmon 20 to 25 lbs. Its to bad the stream looked like abolsute sh*t. He released it immediately upon landing it. Its unfortunate that young anglers only have poorly keeped creeks like this to fish in . Maybe one day the State wi...

Hey guys, We had a discussion regarding Cache Creek a while back. I will be out of school in a few days and would normally head to the Sierras, but the flows make that difficult. I was wondering if anyone had been to the upper Cache Creek lately and knows how the flows are there? Or an...

i was curious if anyone has ever had good luck fishing below the solano lake diversion dam. i caught one 12 inch planter down there the other day, i only tried for about 20 mins at the end of my day. someone told me years ago that there were some big browns down there, could this be true? i have had some really...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and wanted to inquire about the angels camp area. any good streams hosting brookies/brownies in those parts??? Will flow/clarity be a problem in mid June??? I have recently moved from Flagstaff arizona back to the bay, so if anyone needs some good info. for a f...

I know that most of us have other diversions besides flyfishing. Some take a backseat and others don't. I used to fish on average around 75 days a year. No where near that anymore but I have another hobby to blame as well. My dad used to own an old '61 International Scout. That was my "pop can I borrow th...

I went over to access 5 this morning after seeing that the flows had supposedly dropped to 772 cfs overnight. After having my van broken into in February at the same access, I parked on the highway in plain sight, hoping that it would deter thieves. Unfortunately, that was not the case.&n...

We all read about the unfortunate happenings on the creek, and we should be more aware of where we park, and what we leave in our vehicles. Thanks Doc for info!!! With that said...How's da fishin..? Anyone fishing out there. I fished up by the resort last weekend and hooked up w...

I checked the flows this morning, they were at 64 cpf!

Is this a typo on the website, or did the creek just drop 5 ft? Can anyone confirm this? That is really weird.

Does anyone have a guess as to when the NF of the Yuba will be fishable again? Or the Truckee? What a bizarre year, hunh? Hope you're all doing well. Best, Pete

Fished on Sunday - find the side channels that have short deep runs and back eddys

- hooked 9, landed 8, nothing over 16 inches, 3 natural, 5 planters. Used #10 weighted prince nymph, #16 cream bead headed emerger, #16 tan fox's poopah, caught fish on all 3 with the prince nymph per...

It's nice to see that putah's water levels are declining (slowly), but i'm hoping that since we recieved so much rain this winter/spring, they won't release as much water this summer for farming; maybe summer levels will be more like fall levels this year! Does anyone think this is possible?&...

I go to UC Davis and I was just wondering if anyone knows of any other places to fish while the creek is flooded. I'll fish for anything. Bass, trout, panfish, you name it. Thanks for the help.

You remember this? EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum discharge, 81,000 ft3/s, Feb. 27, 1940, gage height, 30.5 ft, present datum, from rating curve extended above 30,000 ft3/s; no flow Sept. 6-15, 1950, July 26 to Sept. 1, Sept. 6-9, 1955. Since completion of Monti...

I've read the posts about opening weekend. I've got to be the biggest idiot in the Bay area, I thought NEXT weekend was the opener.

Will the creek be fishable this weekend??????? I see the flows are 1800 and dropping fast????

I spent the weekend up at the cabin and fished the Yuba Friday and Saturday (@ HWY 20). Friday, when the sun broke through late PM, there was a decent hatch of really small creme and black midge/ gnat looking things. I had no luck on the small stuff but did find a few fresh stone fly husks. I switched over to a...

I headed up to creek to check out the flows yesterday between classes. At 7140 cfs, they were incredible! The creek has since receeded to 6500 cfs. We saw some changes in the areas around the creek with the last high water and I'm sure we'll see many more changes when the flows...

Is there any fishing areas near Redding, I'm looking for somthing next week?

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.&...

This pretty much sucks

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...

And I wonder? Still I wonder?

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...

Any one fish here recently? I am thinking about going on Thursday or Friday. Maybe take a sink tip line and clousers or fish on top? Paul

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...

checked out the creek today and it is crazy. the flows are still way up and the water from berryessa is still dumping threw the glory hole.

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. Rob &nb...

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.

Anyone have any advice what flies to use and size.
