Went out Saturday and there are tons of ticks out. Been combing my dog and finding ticks up to this morning. I also ran into a rattler at access 3 with no rattle!! It looked shriveled up or burnt. Not sure but it wasn't normal and the snake was at least two feet long. Luckily it wasn't aggressive cause my dog...

I have noticed a lot of people bait fishing on Putah Creek lately. Yesterday I walked over-- I could see they were tossing eggs-- but asked how the fishing was going. They told me "Not bad- we got 1" and pointed to the 17 or 18in bow on a nylon rope going through it gills WTF ? So I tell them if they d...
I'm looking into building a wooden drift boat. Anyone have any thoughts on a good place to buy plans for a build? Or should I even buy plans, maybe a good how to book out there? I'm just looking for any recommendations by anyone who has knowledge in boat building. Thanks! Nic

If you near by his shop nestled in with the Wingtip store in the financial district, stop by and check him out as well as one of my rods. http://tonysal...
Like a circling Osprey, discerning. Turbid water boils. Stone fly's of pale yellow, emerge from riffles.. Under the Grass moon, Salmonoids rise. From bridge to their lies. Hiking, I anticipate them. Splash. I cast, Splash. Another charges, then into my net, landed. On broken water, again and a...
I don't know if it's just me but I haven't hooked a 10-12 inch fish on putah in a long time. Overall hookups have been going down in past weeks (I'm still figuring things out) but while most hookups tend to be healthy ones in the high teens, there are never any smaller ones in the mix. Makes me wonder about he...

I fished by the bridge for four hours today. Hooked 6 and landed two, both at least 20". One of the fish that I hooked but didn't land looked even bigger. All of my strikes were in the various riffles right under the bridge. A bead head Flashback Copper John size 16 with a gray thread midge nymph size 2...
i have been fishing putah for a good time now and have seen patterns in bites with respect to the time of day. A good friend of mine said pepple use to call putah the 10 to 2 creek due to having much success during those times. of my own experience this tends to hold true. Not to say I haven't had success during...
I am new to fishing the Putah and have found good success, from the first day I had tried. I have fared better at other rivers, however, I have been told catching 4-6 fish a day on the Putah is extremely successful. Here is my most recent report.. Have had success with PT, Copper John (Red),RS2 Olive and G...
A nice start to spring! The bites are great and ive ran into many nice fisherman who have been hooking up. The water was crystal clear Monday with beautiful skies and I had the great pleasure of landing a monster. Just thought I'd share the fun. I'm prepared for negative comments but here he is.
I was planning on hitting the Yuba today but over slept so opted for Putah instead. Within 15 minutes I had hooked up and it was a beautiful fish. gave me about 10 minutes of fun before I got him to the net...and he wouldn't fit! 20 inch fish! took the dropper on 6x so I was pretty lucky to land him. i landed...
In the past couple of weeks I have noticed in a few spots someone has taken a saw and shears and cut some branches and limbs in some key spots on the creek. Just because your flies end up in the bush does not give you the right to landscape the terrain to make it easier for yourself. I know this has happened in...
I had a friend cancel out on me on a guided trip with Hogan Brown on April 13th, so I'm looking for someone to fill the spot. It will cost somewhere in the range of $200. First come, first serve. I'm going no matter what. We haven't decided where yet, but it will be whatever is fishing the best be it trout,...

It been pretty quiet out there, heres a little spice. Some of the local Valley Rivers are having a good run of Spring half pounders. Lots of fun with a small switch rod or even a single hander. Top flies have been green soft hackles in sizes 12-14. Green Hares ear or Ice dub if it there is some color to th...

Drove up to the north end of the lake and fished for just about 2 hours. i had a job to do at my parents so it was a rather late start with the float tube getting in the lake just after 12 noon. If the number of bass boats on the lake are any indication, the bite must be on fire, however, the few people i talked wi...
If you have plans to fish Putah this weekend I suggest you make other plans. I was out there today and watched the first mile turn to mud. The whole creek should be blown out by the morning.
Ive heard of theft at the creek in the past but never thought it would happen to me. I drove my wife's car out yesterday with the plan to fish for a couple of hours before my class. I parked at the redd bed to put on my gear and noticed a WHITE TOYOTA TACOMA STANDARD CAB, looked fairly new. A white heavy set brow...
