We have two open spots on the PCT roster for our annual Yuba River outing on the UCD property above the Highway 20 bridge. The date is Saturday April 2. We will accept two + two more as alternates if we get any cancellations from those already signed up. Details are at the following link: https://docs.go...

Now that the spawn is winding down, has anyone been fishing? Any reports? I hope to get a day or two on the creek this week, but am concerned that the rain and after-effects from the fire have turned the water into chocolate milk.
Figured I let Putah rest one more week and was hoping to get some info about fishing the Moke below Camanche. Any info on flies, or locations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Found in the mens room at no. 4 access.this is a special rod and you will need to give me a detailed description. So...... If anybody heard about someone leaving their rod, send 'em here. Aloha, mudhen -- Edited by mudhen on Wednesday 2nd of March 2016 11:04:24 AM
My brother and I will be fishing Putah Creek in late March. I've fished the creek once before with Jordan Romney about 2 years ago. We plan to fish on our own this trip. We both fly fish quite a bit, and call the White and Little Red River our home waters here in Arkansas. I'm looking for any advice as far...
Curious to know how many of you tie and fish Czech style tied on jig heads(?) Seems like this is the latest craze, but I think the late Ted Fay might have been the first to popularize short-sticking on the Upper Sac.
Hey, I just tied my first (more or less) good blood knot and I could use some guidance on leaders for this place. Any help gratefully appriciated ( sp.) And Happy New Year folks. P.S. I'm really proud of that sluggy little knot! -- Edited by mudhen on Friday 1st of January 2016 06:08:29 PM
Seeing as to how I believe that drop shot rigging would be a great nymphing technique, I looked at the Cal. regs. regarding use of weight; sec.2.10 subsection 2 states that "It is unlawful to use any hook which is directly or indirectly attached closer than 18 inches to any weight exceeding 1/2 o...

I don't know if any of you fish the Russian River for steelhead, but there is some good news. Someone on the Northern California Kayak forum posted some photos of the mouth open. I called Kings in Guerneville just to make sure. They confirmed that it wide open and they expect the Russian to rise to 20...
I am looking for a watercraft such as a jon boat or a pontoon boat. The only this is that I want it to have a small electric or trolling motor, and it has to be suitable for fishing. Anyone have anything?
Has anyone attempted the little Truckee lately? Its my understanding that the water is open year round but nearly inaccessible this time of year. Any insight or suggestions for other water would be greatly appreciated.
As my subject line said, The spawn is on throughout the creek. Its time to give the creek a break and comeback in March. No need to put more stress on the fish. Lets all be adults and do the right thing and give these fish their time to do their thing. If you do feel the need to be a winter time puddle pitcher jus...
On Saturday, I paddled from the bridge up to the culvert on the back side of the island for some exercise and deflower my kayak. I haven't floated any stretch of Lake Solano in years but never remembered it to be that shallow. The majority of it was 3' or less. I did find one short stretch pushing 4 feet o...
Ok then, now that I am sorta squared off about leaders, Let me ask you guys, if there were only ten (or so) flies that you could put in your pocket for a day of fishing, which ones would you choose?
On March 1 DFW will release a change to the fishing regulations for the IDR. It changes the language to clearly include Lake Solano as C/R, barbless artificial only, as part of the IDR. The current reg is vague as to what physically constitutes Lake Solano. This caused an enforcement issue and under c...
Last week LB hit the 50% level of storage, was dropping a ft per week and was 50 ft below the top of the glory hole (spill over level). Hopefully this current series of storms will start to turn it around.
December 9, 2014 was a watershed moment in the 6 year effort to achieve Wild Trout status when the Fish and Game Commission approved the designation. Much of the scientific data collected by Heritage and Wild Trout to support designation was obtained through the volunteer support of PCT members and...
Hey guys so I go to Santa Clara University about an hour and a half away from Putah. I grew up in Seattle fishing for salmon and Sea Run Cutties while spending my summers fishing for trout in Idaho. I just broke my first cheap rod which was a 9ft 5wt and upgraded with a 7'6 4wt fiberglass rod. I now have a 8wt, t...
Hello folks, I started fishing Putah this fall and was having a jolly time until I noticed that I was the ONLY spin guy on the creek. No, I don't kill fish and use single hook barbless stuff, but I always had this nagging feeling that I was not following the spirit of the creek. I went home and talked to my old...
