I will be visiting Fairfield later this month and hope to fish a couple days on Putah. If conditions allow for fishing (due to the fires), I will purchase my license online prior to travelling. I only glanced quickly, but is there a requirement for a separate trout stamp? Also, I would be shipping so...
According to the news there is an uncontrolled 4000 acre fire that started near Markley Cove and is being pushed NE by high winds. This will push it right through and over Putah Creek from access #1 all the way down to Lake Solano. "At 9:20 p.m., the fire was only 5 percent contained and had jumped Pu...
As a result of the Wragg fire, the following was posted by CDFW this morning. FYI the Wildlife Area includes the South bank of PC from the Highway 128 bridge to just east of access 3. It is not clear at the moment if this closure includes the burned areas on the north bank/Yolo County side of the creek along...
Greetings to all: Summer is winding down with the expectations of lowered Fall flows and better access to wading. This is also the month for our annual creek side cleanup/removal of trash and recyclables from Access 5 to the Dam parking lots. With the recent burn, we expect more trash to be visible/a...
Gettin' Golden, Summer Sonnet 8-16-2015 Leaves gently quake. Dark sky settles in, like afternoon whisky. Looking up at trees, cathedral of nature. Sounds of distant thunder. Through stunted aspens, twisted and bent from snow, still rising. We traverse, talus ahead, beyond, Lamarck Col....
In the last month I went to putah on two occasions, Not fishing just kinda hiking around checking things out. I came across several people bait fishing, They were all just ill informed of the regs. Mostly just some family types enjoying some fishing. I informed them, And they all quickly left. I'm just...

Has anybody fished the Lower Yuba recently? Water flow looks good for wading across and I'm planning to get an early start Thursday and fish through the morning till it gets too hot to fish. Am I wasting time by going? Any recommendations for nymphs or dries? I just have to get out with my fly rod before I...

I don't know how long this program has been airing, but I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago.? It covers a lot of different types of flyfishing, not jus...
There is a proposal to make Snow Mountain surrounding area a national monument. This would mean huge things in future protection of the area which includes Putah Creek and Eel River. There is a meeting in Napa on Friday. Check out the attached flyer for more details. -- Edited by Berryessie on Tue...
Looks like I'll be able to take a half day at work tomorrow (Wednesday the 17th) and am hoping to head up to Putah for the afternoon for a few hours of fishing. I've been up a couple times before but am still trying to figure out the best spots (I've fished off of #3 & #4 but not extensively). If any one wa...
Has anyone tried the Dryft brand waders? The price point is good, and if they are what they claim to be, very durable and cut better for the movement required on rivers like Putah (climbing over downed trees and boulders).
Hello all, Hope everyone as well. Due to changes in work I now have quite a bit of time on my hands and was looking into fly fishing and came upon Putah Creek. I have all the gear I think i'll need except footwear/waders. Since I'm new to the hobby I was hoping to avoid spending too much money quickly but I wo...
Hey Everyone, Its not very often I post on here anymore, however, I could use your help to receive a grant for my personal fly fishing guide service, Nor Cal Fly Guides. A few weeks ago, I came across a grant that Chase Bank is giving out to small businesses across the US. There are a few steps needed to poss...
TarponvilleTarpon, undoubtedly the baddest fish you mess with on the fly. The shear violence and strength of these fish is hair raising. For those of you who have had the opportunity to connect to one of these fish you know what I am talking about. For those of you still thinking it over, get your...
Had a few hours free Sunday and took a friend to Putah. I won't say the locations as I think that's the fun part of learning the creek but will report poor to okay fishing depending on how you look at it. In 3 hours we hooked in 6 fish. Only one being a solid 16" fought and spit the hook either taking a soft...
For those of you waiting for spawning season to end at Putah... I went to the Lower Yuba on Sat and caught a few 14 inchers, plus hooked a few other good sized ones. My buddy caught one in the 24 inch range, and hooked another that was probably 18+. The rain and recent high flows added some tint, which I he...
Thanks Jordan Romney for a great talk tonight at the Fly Fishers of Davis meeting. I definitely learned some great tips that I will try out in the near future!

it has been about 5 or 6 weeks since I last had a chance to get out to Putah Creek but finally was able to do so 2 days ago (Wednesday). The hills have acquiried their Summer appearance since I was last there. It was a beautiful day though, clear skies, temps in the high 70's and very little wind. I decided to g...
I just moved to Pleasant Hill from Seattle this past summer. I am spoiled having incredible river access back home. finally scored a hall pass and decided to scout the Putah Creek area. I ran into a couple nice fly anglers today. I just wanted to know on a general basis how safe the area is? I was parked in a...

Anyone have a strong opinion on which is the way to go on a 9' 5wt? I'm debating between the Leland Classic Trout reel (2.9" diameter with click and pawl) vs the Ross CLA (3.25" diameter with disc drag). How important is that extra .35"? As far as drag...I've been told that the click an...
