I was fishing a spot in the sierra few weeks ago, Its a place that has always been open year around. I was informed by a game warden that the regs. have changed for 2013 and it is now under the general trout regs. He was cool and said he's not enforcing it until signs are posted, and we were aloud to continue to...
Man I can't believe the way the flows just keep going up??? Usually this time of year the flow stabilize at around 300-400 cfs and the fishing is great. It seems the flows will just keep going up to 800 or 900. When is the opener 3 more weeks...
Do any of you have a recollection of there being a winter/spring salmon/steelhead run on WC?? One of my odd interests is "rooting" for the "underdog" individuals (fish) that try to go where nature tells them to even though we (humans) have made that really difficult for them. I...
The March 15th event was a real success for the group and Canyon Creek resort as well. The venue was perfect, the fly tiers enjoyed the event quite a bit, our name got out even further and we were able to decrease the amount of raffle prizes that Steve Karr has been dragging around. It was great to socia...
Three years ago a team of forum members took part in a fly tying fundraiser for PCT. I am looking for a repeat of that effort to support the cause and someone willing to coordinate it. The plan calls for a dozen flies of each pattern and 12 different patterns total. The perfect result would be 12 differ...
As the Osprey kites. Brodiaeas and Ceanothus along the way. Teal and rabbit fur glide and rise. My cast web, connected. Maybe it's me who's really netted? Moon in Pisces, go figure. http://tonysalpenglow.blogspot.com/2013/03/yuba-ku-3-89-2013.html
I found a wader boot along the road up near the dam call me if it is yours Richard 707.294-4738 looks like it fell of someones car or truck its in good cond see ya
I bought a camera called a ContourRoam and a headstrap for it. The camera does 1080p and 720p at 30fp and also does still shots @5 megapixels. So far so good with the testing. Easy to connect to a PC too - just plug in a USB cable and the camera appears as another drive. Video is good, not excellent. Goo...
Went up to the creek today and fished for 3-4 hours in the afternoon. Didn't get much action, got broken on 1 good fish close to the net and touched another and that was it. But it was a lovely afternoon and was really impressed by how little trash there was generally. Need to explore the water below acc...
Unless the guage is off, the flows are way above typical it seems to me. 358?! The median is ~ 100 for the previous 52 years. I mean, there can't be that much demand this early in the growing season can there be? Won't they need that water later on when we've had ANOTHER year of low precipitation?! Not t...
Greeting to all: We are going to hold a social get together at CCR to celebrate the arrival of Spring. This will be a fly tying demonstration/workshop and casting lesson/demonstration event. We will have up to 20 regional professional and expert tyers led by world recognized expert Dave McCants a...
Decided to go out yesterday since I heard about the winter stones and brought along my better half. There were tones of those stone flies everywhere I went. I ran into a few other people who said they had caught one. I tied up a stone imitation and a dark lord but got no love on it. Maybe I need to down size to...
Hi, I work for Salesforce.com and we require employees to volunteer 1% of their work hours toward a cause. I have seen posts in the past about cleanup work that people are doing at the creek. I have also seen work related to spawning beds at certain times of the year. How do I get involved with this eff...

Just starting to get into fly typing after fly fishing for 12 years. Any suggests on good "beginner" flies that would work well at Putah? I'm tempted to start tying up tiny midge patterns, but I was advised that I should start with larger flies, maybe in the 12-14 size. Thanks.
Went out Saturday. Water was tinted in most places. I didn't see any bug activity until late in the day. I threw everything I had andonly managed one. I saw a few other guys who had zero luck. I watched a guy above me battle a nice fish. Seemed he needed help so I ran down a rocky trail with my net only to see him...
Anyone see a black C&F streamer box at the Yuba? I lost it yesterday — screwed up an otherwise pretty good fishing and beer drinking day. If found and returned, I'll happily tie the person a dozen flies and buy them a six pack of my favorite beer. V
My expectations were high this morning when my friend picked me up for a trip up to the Putah. The rain had stopped and the flows were up to 298. About where I like them. Although it w good to get out and thre creek looked in fine shape and despite all my skill, nofish felt obliged to meet us. We tried access...
What an awesome day on the Yuba!! I just wanted to thank Steve Karr and PCT and everyone who was there yesterday..good conversation on the hike, help with my casting, teaching moments, Richard and I "team-catiching" a fish...I had such a great time-- even though only one grab LOL--- and it...
Sitting in my office goofing off and reading my latest edition (March/April) of Northwest Flyfishing and what do I find? An article about the restoration of Putah Creek! (page 56) Good work Steve and Roger.
I had a pretty close run into today on the creek. This kitty was around 100 pounds but not aggressive. I starled her in some thick brush and she went and hunkered down. Be careful out there, I notified DFG. Let'snot turn this into a witch hunt. I just want to warn everyone to use caution out there. I would h...
OK. I can understand that PC is basically considered an irrigation ditch to some people downsteam and they get some kind of priority much of the time, but I don't really get why the flows there keep going between 70cfs and 120cfs in the winter. Wouldn't it be a lot easier and inexpensive to leave the flo...
