It has been an extremely dry winter so far. If we go into drought conditions how will this affect the creek flows for the rest of the year? I don't think this dry season will be comparable to the drought in the 70s but.. It's coming close. How did the creek hold up back then? Nic -- Edited by Xnjb707X on W...
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-diego-sheriff-concealed-guns-20140221,0,2138479.story#axzz2u3ch5XlhThe law currently allows you to/from/while fishing but it's a convoluted mess of a law.
I gave Putah a try on Thurs. I haven't fly fished in a lot of years so I pick the one place in the world with the most trees and bushes to rekindle my passion for fly fishing (I did not lose anything to the abundant forest but I did have to learn how to roll cast). I did avoid the beds and hiked about half of the a...
I had planned on making this trip last Summer but a work promotion kinda nixed it. On to 2014 The wife, kids and I are planning a family backpacking trip on the PCT this summer. We are allocating as many as 9 days though 2 of them will be travel. A loop of some sort isn't entirely out of the question but cur...
Hi folks, I went by the Sports Authority in San Francisco (1690 Folsom St.) to find that they are eliminating the fishing department. Everything is 50% off! Allot of the salt-water gear is decimated, but the fly gear is still holding strong. A bunch of combo set-ups, reels, fly boxes, vests, waders, w...

Stumbled on fresh mountain lion deer kill at access five today. I know these warnings pop up on this forum periodically, so here's this season's: be careful. They are out there. Scared the absolute crap out of me to see fresh deer head just sitting in brush. That's two big cats in one month — had a bobcat j...
Hi Everyone,I just want to introduce my self on this forum. Just went fly fishing for the first time at Putah Creek today and have a blast (even thought I didn't even get a bit). If anyone lives close to Vacaville, CA and ever wants someone to come fishing with them please let me know, I would love to meet so...
Hey guys new to the Putah, Went out last Saturday Fished about 100 yds above the 128 bridge. Hooked into 1 fish, on a #24 Buckskin. I had tried numerous flies, mainly all variations of midges, however coming off the full moon and the changing water flow (River was very Murky). Is this typical for this...

Ive been fishing putah solidly for the last few years and iv pulled out monster rainbows no problem. iv caught trout from very small up to 8lbs and lost a few lunkers. Yet, ive still not had the pleasant oppertunity of landing a brown. I have a close family friend that has landed the biggest set of browns i...
I,m back. It has been a while since I've been a participant on the forum, seems fairly tame compared to years past. Between prospecting (Gold), and my wifes illness, not much time to fish.Hope to improve on that this year. I now have a web site for my business, JWH Construction, www.jwhstairrails.b...
I am putting on a casting / fly fishing clinic for the campers at "Canyon Creeh Resort" and could use some help with casting instructions and a few rods or just some help . Whenever I fish near the bridge inevitably someone from the resort comes over and watches me fish . So I contacted the res...
It's been a while since I have posted anything, but I hope the knuckleheads who I met fishing last Friday on the Yuba read this. So I am fishing my favorite run on the Yuba first thing last Friday morning, looking forward to some egg bite magic. And sure enough, I have a few strikes; land some, lose some...
A buddy of mine and I were fishing the lower Yuba today, North side of the river below the highway 20 bridge. We walked down the main trail and walked along the bank and fished that side. After about ten minutes, we heard a nearby explosion. I was further downstream, thought it was a shotgun going off. Aft...
Was on the LT this weekend and came across this fish hugging the bank. We were surprised it didn't spook off. We walked right up to it and saw it was in really bad shape. Was able to dip my net in and get it without any reaction. It has sores all over and looked like rotting flesh. Saw a few others swimming arou...
Our good old frien Alastair Rimmer ( African Angler) is in town visiting and we headed up to the Yuba yesterday for a day trip. The weather was perfect I must say, and that, besides the scenery, was the highlight for the day on the river. I have never seen the Yuba so damn clear. It is fishing like a sprin...
If you have not already checked out Ken Davis's facebook page you should. He has been posting some incredible photos and video of the fish spawning. https://www.facebook.com/creekmanken

I'm thinking about asking Santa for one. Seems to me it would work well in the close quarters of Putah and get your flies into some hard to reach spots.
