I love this time of year. My favorite time to fish the creek is when the flows are around 400 cfs. I have been hooking into some really nice fish the past couple of weeks. They haven't planted any fish for a while and the bait fishermen have been pounding away all Spring and Summer, so t...
I will be traveling soon and was wondering if anyone had has any problems carrying their fly rods on an airplane. I will be flying Delta to Salt Lake City and Jackson Hole.
Thanks
When I pulled up on Labor Day, it reminded me of winter with all of the cars. There were quite a few people early, but luckily they didn't stay too long. They must have had barbecues to go to. It was a pretty good day on the creek. I hooked 12 fish and la...
I haven't been able to fish the creek for a couple of months but made it out today. I fished for a few hours near the bridge and landed a fat 22" rainbow. I caught him on a #18 beadhead baetis nymph. I hooked a couple of other fish but didn't land them.
I coul...
I was able to get up to the creek 2 days in a row. It was ridiculously hot, though. I sweated like crazy any time I wasn't in the water. I think next time I'll try wet wading. It will be nice and cool in the water but bearable when I'm walking from spot to spot. Anyway, I hooke...
planning to hit it early tommorrow morning, just checking the flows and it reads 35 cfm, this is impossible, isn't it ? was reading 470 early today. anyways anyone been having any luck? I managed 3 fish last weekend for almost 6 hours, a 14 inch bright wild, a 8 inch planter, and a very nice looking holdov...
Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a putah trip on monday, but wanted to see if it was going to be worth the trip.
Any feedback, tips, access info would be helpful. I'm still not sure which access number is which. If by chance anyone fishes it monday the 21st, let's hook up for some coffee and fish stories.

Myself and a couple of buddies fished the Upper Sac river and Pitt River a few days ago,with mixed results.The Upper Sac fished decent in the lower stretches especially for larger fish 16" to 18" and the upper area (cantera loop) was not that good mostly 8 to 12" fish.On the other hand the Pitt river was o...
I am hoping to stop by Putah on my way home from Chico and was wondering if there are any other spots besides #5 and below 128 to wade fish. I remember #4 fishing great this time of year last year, but I almost killed myself trying to cross above the riffle. Any info. will help. Thanks.

Anyone have recommendations for salmon this time of year ? Both location and patterns would be nice. Most of the upper reaches of the big rivers are going to be closing soon and I wanted to try to catch one or two before the closings while the fish are still "bright".
Here is the fish of the day. When I hooked this fish it went crazy. It screamed across the creek one way then the other. Usually I lose fish when I get this much line out, but I managed to land it. I tied up a new fly. Fox poopah on a size 20 Tiemco 100. [img]https://i4...
Second time fishing putah creek. I hooked 3 and landed 1 all above access point #1 in fast water. I was using a tan fox pupa with a wd40 on the dropper. All fish seemed to be planters. Does the slower moving water right below access #5 produce or are there any suggestions on wher...
i love this place!! big biggies beggin for bugs! caught about 15 large trout(20 + in) on ants and trico spinners. these fish are fighters!! saw a water snake met its fate with one of those big bastards! he put up a good fight though, the bow hit him about 5 times b4 he ate it! what a place!! In most cases i coul...
i managed to stick a fillet knife into a new set of rather expensive gortex waders this past weekend and was wondering if anyone has any experience repairing them, suggestions on what to use would be greatly appreciated. and what the heck is up with no posts in 11 days? isnt anyone fishing. i'm kinda tir...
I've heard that Haypress Creek in Sierra City (Wild Plum campground), which feeds into North Fork Yuba, is good during July...dries for smallish brookies.
Anyone have experience on Haypress? What about August?
-Reg
Got out to the lower Yuba for the evening on Sunday and was sorely disappointed. Man, how that river has changed. The floods of this last winter have completely tranformed the layout/flows of the river above the HWY 20 bridge. While the floods of the year previous also transformed the ri...
Hey,
Even with the heat, if you are wading without waders it feels great. Two of the largest arteries
run down through the legs and guess what? The heat is very tolerable. I fished yesterday and
hooked up two which I lost but what the heck. I used a 16 hare's ear on the upper and a 18 micro mayfly on the...
Went on a Jeep run over the weekend and camped alongside the E. Carson Just south of the 89/4 split. Spent less than an hour fishing but hooked a few fish 10-14" range that fought rather well. The bait dunkers in the group did well with worms.
High temps were around 85 degrees with some clouds and thun...
fished all day on the back side of the first island above lake solano, fish caught,8 total ,5wild all around 10 to 14 inches. I really thought i was gonna get my first nice brown trout, i fished a nice looking area and seen a nice brown of at least 25 inches rise three times in the same spot, i tossed everythi...
Does anyone here have any experience fishing in Michigan, or have any information about it? Is there was any good fly-fishing near Ann Arbor? Thank you for your help.
was curious when do the high summer flows normally start to come down to say 400 or less. these flows and this heat is making fishing rather diffucult !
Got onto the creek around 6:00 PM. Decent hatch of small yellow bodied mayflies and some bigger peach colored caddis with green bodies. Took a sample of insects with my kick-net and found mostly small mayfly nymphs, tiny midge larvae, and a few larger green caddis larvae....
