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...
Ok then, now that I am sorta squared off about leaders, Let me ask you guys, if there were only ten (or so) flies that you could put in your pocket for a day of fishing, which ones would you choose?
On March 1 DFW will release a change to the fishing regulations for the IDR. It changes the language to clearly include Lake Solano as C/R, barbless artificial only, as part of the IDR. The current reg is vague as to what physically constitutes Lake Solano. This caused an enforcement issue and under c...
Last week LB hit the 50% level of storage, was dropping a ft per week and was 50 ft below the top of the glory hole (spill over level). Hopefully this current series of storms will start to turn it around.
December 9, 2014 was a watershed moment in the 6 year effort to achieve Wild Trout status when the Fish and Game Commission approved the designation. Much of the scientific data collected by Heritage and Wild Trout to support designation was obtained through the volunteer support of PCT members and...
Hey guys so I go to Santa Clara University about an hour and a half away from Putah. I grew up in Seattle fishing for salmon and Sea Run Cutties while spending my summers fishing for trout in Idaho. I just broke my first cheap rod which was a 9ft 5wt and upgraded with a 7'6 4wt fiberglass rod. I now have a 8wt, t...
Hello folks, I started fishing Putah this fall and was having a jolly time until I noticed that I was the ONLY spin guy on the creek. No, I don't kill fish and use single hook barbless stuff, but I always had this nagging feeling that I was not following the spirit of the creek. I went home and talked to my old...
I like to post this interview with a "PC Original" from time to time, just to take the edge off in celebration of the coming holidays:Today's Putah Creek Profile (PCP) is of local legend Orvis Remington-Peters. Petey, as he is known to his friends, is a PC original with close to 40 years of ex...
Hi Folks, A quick introduction... No stranger to Putah... I fished there when I was stationed on Treasure Island in the late 80's through early 90's. Doesn't look like much has changed, but it seems to be a very popular spot now. I remember fishing in the winter and rarely saw another angler during the...
Hey Everybody! I've been on this site for a couple of years but I think this is actually my first post. Went up to Putah on the 17th - got onto the water at around 11:30 AM. I took my girlfriend so what was supposed to be on the water at 8:00 AM didn't quite pan out - laugh all you want! It is her 6th day on the wa...

With the rainy weather (hopefully) coming soon, I thought I'd post this tip. Before you store away your rod or reel, make sure that it is dry. I have a reel that has its surface pitted because I forgot to wipe it dry before putting it away. I have a Scott rod that used to have red guides that now has pink g...
The following briefly describes the 3 principles to efficient fly casting. They may look familiar if you know the 5 principles the FFF uses however we felt only 3 where needed to both teach and implement.
