I caught a fish yesterday for maybe the third time. He came in really fast and I realized that I knew this guy. I let him loose as fast as I could ( thank Hod for barbless hooks ) , but it left me with a hollow feeling. I don't mind annoying the trout, but I'm not into abuse. Have any of you encountered the same si...
I've read the language of it but most of it seems insignificant vs the amendments made since 1968. Besides most winery owners say early nineties was too late to put in vineyard /winery on a slope.
Creative Sports fly shop in Pleasant Hill, is in danger of closing , thanks to last year's heavy snowfall and people buying their stuff off the Internet. So GO BUY some stuff there. I'm talking to all of the people in the Walnut Creek Lafayette (sp.) area. yeah, you might save 20.00 on new waders but wha...
, I recently decided i like the idea of having a portable shack set off to the side maybe on the concrete slab up by the bridge parking lot , I can already hear all the voices making there points of opposition DFG wouldnt allow it or it would get broke into or stolen . But it would be really be nice to have a plac...
Food for thought Reese Halter is a visiting research scientist and distinguished conservation biologist from California Lutheran University. His latest book is “The Insatiable Bark Beetle.” Climate change dropped further from the world headlines in 2011 compared with the previous year even...
I snagged 2 lines yesterday. First, was about 50 feet of nylon/mono/fluoro. I'm not sure what it was attached to as I had to break it off. But, 50 feet worth? What the heck is someone doing? Anyway, next was at least 100 feet of braided line I think, almost like a dacron backing. This was attached to...
While fishing today at access 5 the passenger's side window of my car was shattered. Time was somewhere in between 10:30am and 11:30 am. No fishing gear was taken, but a Black Backpack with my school supplies was taken. I am posting this as both a warning for anyone who leaves gear in their car. Be carefu...
Personally, I love helping a nearby angler get a picture with their catch. A recent experience left me wondering if some folks might find it intrusive to ask them to stop fishing and come take a shot of a quality fish. It honestly hadn't occurred to me as I am happy to take a minute to help out. How do you...
I was fishing the deer sign access yesterday afternoon and a Cicada landed on my friend's pack. Is this a normal thing at Putah? I've never seen one here before and wonder if the strong wind gusts blew him in from somewhere.. Got me thinking if I should tie up some foam cicadas lol.. In other news, fishin...
we lost a set of keys yesterday and are hoping they may turn up. We were at #3 on the upstream side of the parking lot and fished mostly upstream from that lot. Please keep an eye out if you are fishing there. Thank you.
SPRING CLEANING- YEA! Cabelas case is double rod and reel attached,30$ Reddington is single rod with reel attached. 20$ I really cant say if they've been used for anything but house storage, Meet up in Napa area please. If you have rod with butt attached bring with for fit . PS still have them wading boo...
Fished yesterday and caught a fish with visible copepod parasites at the base of the dorsal and adipose fins. Wondering if anyone else has seen this on the river. I pulled them off. Kind of gnar.
I thought this rod was a couple years older. I found the paperwork while packing boxes in preparation for the move to Michigan. It has been my go to rod from Eagle lake, Pit, Lower Sac, Feather, Yuba, Putah, etc etc. I've never owned a really fast tapered rod and this one is far from it. I just like them s...

Hows it going guys, wondering if anyone has fished the creek last couple days. Hows the water clarity, wondering if these recent rains have muddied it up or if its still fishable conditions. Also curious if anyone has tried any streamer action lately especially down by the slower water -- Edited by d...
Any word on when the flows will be raised on Putah? I've been wanting to fish it for the first time this year but 80CFS in my opinion is just way too low.
Went to the bridge this afternoon and fished the turn and then was walking down to below staircase rapid. There is a big tree down across the trail that is blocking it completely. Had to hike up and around to the right over some sketchy bushes. With the low flows the best way down below will probably be to c...
Late last year I basically cut the end of my left middle finger off and had it sewn back on. For the most part, it is pretty numb but cold air does wake it up in a not so good way. I suppose this would be a perfect question for steelhead fishermen, what gloves do you prefer?
looking to hit the Eel River and possibly do a float on the river with a buddy who lives up in that area. got a bad steelhead itch going has anyone fished it? I'd appreciate any info you might have Jason
Hi guys. I would love your help finding a Sage reel I dropped in the parking lot of the first turn out with bathrooms. I lost it February 5h around 10am. It’s a five weight with a rio line. I appreciate The help. 775 813 1910 thanks!
2017-2018 Spawn is in full swing! Please consider not fishing the creek until after it's over. The fish you catch now will have less success in producing the next generation of trophy fish. Lactic acid is toxic to egg viability. This is a small and delicate fishery that has been through a rough few year...
