I'm planning on going to Berryessa sometime next week to fish the banks from a float tube. Can anyone tell me the regs, as far as checking in/inspecting my float tube. Thank you.
People from all over the map all converging on access 4 and 5 flogging the water to a froth. Mud all over the place down by the bridge and a pale colored bottom on the tailouts that the fish don't like because they stand out in contrast. And a fresh vibrant crop of poison oak on the trail to the rock garden...
With Spring lookin like its right around the corner here in the north bay, that means bass fishing will be kickin off soon. I would love some info regarding fly fishing for bass; techniques, rods, reels, lines and flies. What are your favorite patterns to fish with? What kind of setup do you use if you ar...
The water in the run at access 4 is very cold when the bank crumbles away as you are walking down to the creek and you, get pitched ass over teakettle into the water. And wet too! Note to self.; extra clothes in car.
Went out today with my son to check out the creek. It's still very stained with limited visibility. We only fished a couple of hours. One to hand caught by my son. It was a great day.
if you fish the run downstream of the spawning area at no. 3, out where the stream opens up, beware of really really deep mud deposits right off of the bank. I went up to my thigh quickly and I know there was more down there

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...
