Hi everybody, I'm new here, although I've lived in Yolo County for eight years and have spent a lot of those years down by the creek.

Hey Guys, I've heard rumors of some Putah anglers carrying rafts down to the base of Englebright dam and launching down stream (portaging on the narrows class iv section). There’s a kayaking guide for this run, but from what I can tell, they’ve closed all access off from the public since the guide was p...
If you care about the creek please give the spawning fish some peace. Voluntary closure started 12/1. I stopped fishing the creek in early November after seeing that the fish were already in really dark spawning colors and podded up in the normal areas. Give the Yuba a try. It can be just as challen...

So I go to the Yuba yesterday and of course it's ATV day, with what seems like every offroad fan in Cal North in attendance. Whatever, I'll be up on the island past the bridge. And so I find myself, fishing there when I hear a vehicle, much louder than anything else in the area ripping up the riverbed behi...

And there were people picnicking a little further up and the idiots had a small fire going....
