I like to post this interview with a "PC Original" from time to time, just to take the edge off in celebration of the coming holidays:Today's Putah Creek Profile (PCP) is of local legend Orvis Remington-Peters. Petey, as he is known to his friends, is a PC original with close to 40 years of ex...
Hi Folks, A quick introduction... No stranger to Putah... I fished there when I was stationed on Treasure Island in the late 80's through early 90's. Doesn't look like much has changed, but it seems to be a very popular spot now. I remember fishing in the winter and rarely saw another angler during the...
Hey Everybody! I've been on this site for a couple of years but I think this is actually my first post. Went up to Putah on the 17th - got onto the water at around 11:30 AM. I took my girlfriend so what was supposed to be on the water at 8:00 AM didn't quite pan out - laugh all you want! It is her 6th day on the wa...

With the rainy weather (hopefully) coming soon, I thought I'd post this tip. Before you store away your rod or reel, make sure that it is dry. I have a reel that has its surface pitted because I forgot to wipe it dry before putting it away. I have a Scott rod that used to have red guides that now has pink g...
The following briefly describes the 3 principles to efficient fly casting. They may look familiar if you know the 5 principles the FFF uses however we felt only 3 where needed to both teach and implement. Feel free to ask any questions you may have here or in person at the Leland Ranch. http://www.lela...

A few weeks ago Chris Yama (aka "Otter") and I went Davis Lake and then Pyramid Lake NV. Davis was a little slow, but the fish were averaging close to 20 inches. Chris and I both landed 22"ers which were a lot hotter than I remember them. Two of mine took me into the backing. Chris caug...
Hey Guys so I'm new to the forum and decided to share my experience at putah recently. So I am pretty new to fly fishing(1 year), actually to fishing in general. Just started in the summer of 2014 in Mono County Twin lakes, well the first trout I caught I was hooked, i got the itch to fish. Being fairly new to...
Hi All, Just joined the forum after many months of snooping around and reading your posts. Thought it's about time I added, or maybe subtracted, some value :) Got started fly fishing nearly 45 years ago as a young boy in MI. It's one of the things my Dad and I enjoyed doing together. He's gone now, but...
?For anyone interested in a little fly fishing on the Lower Sac or Yuba rivers this spring I will take $100 off any trip done during the month of March. Just mention that you saw me on BONO's website. You pay the half day rate and get a full day of fly fishing. The spring caddis hatch on the Lower Sac should be...
Hey all, New member but I have combed through the forum in the past. It's good to see a tight knit community devoted to such a unique watershed. I have been fly fishing for 15+ years, I have lived in the East Bay most of my life and have just now started fishing Putah.... Yeah, alot of my buddies that fish Put...
All: the current South Putah Canal cleaning operation by SCWA has caused a small number of young fish to be trapped in dewatered small side channels. SCWA and CDFW have been notified. If you fish the creek this weekend look for dewatered areas and stranded or dead fish. Take a count and pictures and mak...
Looks like I picked the wrong day to skip out of work in the AM for a little fishing. Holy Cow did they shut off the water. I could tell as soon as I saw the creek. Water must have dropped over a foot in the last day. Still fished and hand some success. Just got off the creek and checked the flows - down to 4...
Spent a nice morning/ early afternoon with a friend who is just learning to fly fish... Lots of smaller fish in the system 6 to 12". Lots of splashy rises ~ 9:30 am at access 4. Still a bit tough to access the far seam in some of the areas. I noticed that Shon's hole has changed remarkably after the f...

How easily do you all find that trout on Putah get spooked? Any particular tactics that you've have found successful? Which of the following are/aren't important? Ideas I've considered: - Avoiding brass beads - Using no larger than 5x fluoro - Avoiding overly flashy flies. I'm thinking flashb...

I believe I started this thread last year and, as always, it generated a maelstorm of differing opinions from "stay off the redds" to "stay off the creek" altogether. I am convinced that a number of folks were so intimidated that they did give up fishing during the winter.Star...
I will be visiting Fairfield later this month and hope to fish a couple days on Putah. If conditions allow for fishing (due to the fires), I will purchase my license online prior to travelling. I only glanced quickly, but is there a requirement for a separate trout stamp? Also, I would be shipping so...
According to the news there is an uncontrolled 4000 acre fire that started near Markley Cove and is being pushed NE by high winds. This will push it right through and over Putah Creek from access #1 all the way down to Lake Solano. "At 9:20 p.m., the fire was only 5 percent contained and had jumped Pu...
As a result of the Wragg fire, the following was posted by CDFW this morning. FYI the Wildlife Area includes the South bank of PC from the Highway 128 bridge to just east of access 3. It is not clear at the moment if this closure includes the burned areas on the north bank/Yolo County side of the creek along...

This is also the month for our annual creek side cleanup/removal of trash and recyclables from Access 5 to the Dam parking lots. With the recent burn, we expect more trash to be visible/a...
Gettin' Golden, Summer Sonnet 8-16-2015 Leaves gently quake. Dark sky settles in, like afternoon whisky. Looking up at trees, cathedral of nature. Sounds of distant thunder. Through stunted aspens, twisted and bent from snow, still rising. We traverse, talus ahead, beyond, Lamarck Col....
In the last month I went to putah on two occasions, Not fishing just kinda hiking around checking things out. I came across several people bait fishing, They were all just ill informed of the regs. Mostly just some family types enjoying some fishing. I informed them, And they all quickly left. I'm just...
