Labor day trip in Sept. Looking for advice "if" I get to fish,I got 2 hand rods for big flys, and 1 hand rods. The Ferndale bridge is close but the regs are a little confusing.
going to try the klamath this fall for the first time, wondering if anyone who has experience can chime in. all of my steelhead fishing has been swinging flies for winter run fish on coastal rivers like the eel and russian. Work permitting, im hoping to go first week or two of october. Thinking abot midd...
Don't know how I missed it but I just came upon a GREAT Youtube video produced by Steve Karr about Putah Creek and Putah Creek TroutPutah Creek Trout History and Heritage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqZDzW33BdA
Now that I've been having some success nymphing, I want to try to land a larger specimen using a crayfish pattern...here is one I tied up on my own. I know some of you have had success fishing crayfish patterns. I weighted it quite heavily with a 6.5 mm tungsten cone and 20 wraps of .25 lead wire on a size 6 ho...

no love on the carp river today. Last Sunday it was mostly ice and unfishable. The steelhead run is still 1-2 weeks out. Wading is easy but you have to watch out for 1k pound glaciers floating down river.

Hey Guys, So I am sure most of you have seen all of the people on the creek recently. It seems that your typical runs that are easy to access are always filled up bright and early and it's like a race to try and get to the run first or you are out of luck. I have had to think outside of the box to get to some spots tha...
Since I couldn't bear the idea of a crowded Putah on a high water Saturday, I went to the Yuba instead. The water was high but really clear and still wadeable in the bridge area, (but not beyond the whitewater run ), and March Browns and even a few Caddis were coming off. I however, a charter member of the Ca...
Are the current water flows for the creek correct? I’ve been watching the flows return to normal as Berryessa’s level comes down but 91 cfs? Or is there a sensor malfunction? -- Edited by Mike42 on Wednesday 8th of May 2019 09:32:21 AM
I normally have no problem with the guides, and am friendly to them, but I want to say right here that anyone who brings more than two clients is not being ethical, and anyone who brings a string of them to the creek NOT EVEN FISHING, but playing tour guide is shi$%^& in their, and everyone else's nest...
Hey, everyone, I found a net at guide hole side channel call me to claim it just a cheap wooden one but I am sure it. would be nice to get it back if I lost mine, as a matter of fact, I did lose mine a few weeks ago so if anyone finds a guide net please keep me posted Thanks Richard 707 - 294-4738
(on the outside chance that someone actually finds a net and happens to read this) wooden frame/ghost net bag Lost up near bridge early evening May 1st. I was fortunate to have to use it a bit, but unfortunately I was out mid-stream. I guess the wood screw I used to attach it to the tether unscrewed on me....

the water is over 10,000cfs, and RISING! Upper Putah is flowing into the lake at 10,500cfs and the glory hole is covered by at least three feet of water. The pictures give you an idea of what it looks like. This in MUCH more water than in 2017. I feel sorry for any critters who couldn’t swim or fly.
Looking at the water level for Lake Berryessa and as of 08:00 this morning it is within six inches of overflowing.With the heavy rains predicted for today it sure looks as if we are going to see the Glory Hole kick in and another big surge coming down the creek.
All: do do water damage to paved areas Yolo County has closed Fishing Access 3 and FA 1 to parking and use. Please avoid these accesses until further notice. I will forward more information as it becomes available. Thanks
