Headed up North tonight for Fly Fishing Specialties annual Rogue River Invitational. There is a new points system this year where it awards more points for fish taken on the Skate! Check out the FFS facebook page for updates throughout the weekend.
Woohoo I was super happy when the Giants won today. I went out and celebrated by catching a few fish on the creek after the game! Just watched Coco Crisp grip it and rip it. Go Giants and A's!!!!
I have a friend thats new to FF -his first yr and he is wearing these boots Tiny Tim wouldnt wear. I mean Really these boots are really really bad and he could use some used waders to but nearley as bad as he really needs some boots . We cant even fish these days his boots are so bad. I cant buy him a new pair. B...
At least one, possibly 2, deer carcasses have been stinking up the Access 5 island. The one seen appears to be a mountain lion kill. Be careful, especially around dark, in the heavy undergrowth areas. Jordan-you might let Tim know.
Today was epic, started off by hooking a toad that broke me off quickly. Then had a coupl others spit the hook that weren't very big. I decided to move spots near the end of the day which turned out to be memorable. I started to fish a fast run, after a few casts my indicator stalled and I was into a fish. I tho...
Went fishing on the lower stan today as I was walking up to the dam below Lake Tulloch on the gravel trail next to the canal I noticed that there was no water in the canal. Its usually pretty full depending on the time of year. There were to Long puddles about 6 inches deep with about 150 nice sized trout in...
The areas I fished yesterday are loaded with young trout. This is great to see. There was a big BWO hatch an hour before dark that brought these young trout to the surface. I managed to catch one which is shown in the attached image. I have fished Putah the last 2 Sundays and only caught small fish. Althoug...
Had my first solo adventure to the E Carson. Super low water, but still fun. A lot of work as the fish were only holding in the areas with more water, a good quarter to half mile apart. And of course, that's where everyone was fishing. Was still able to manage a few nice fish in the evenings, tossing small dr...
WILDLIFE: State has new game plan for agency Press EnterpriseSept 28Say so long to the California of Department Fish and Game and hello to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation this week that changes the name and clarifies the mission of the state government...
Fished for a few hours Sunday. Found a large pod of consistently rising fish. They were almost impossible to get to but I tricked one into taking a skated #16 tan elk hair caddis. Got another on a green wolly bugger just after it hit the water. That surprised me. Best part of the evening was finding a half d...

Took my kayak out today and "drifted" guides hole. Lots of action mid to lower part of the run. Mostly toward the far bank and mid stream. No way to get those drifts without floating it at these flows. Certainly a challenge trying to play a fish as it takes you downstream into overhanging tree...
The resort is hosting an afternoon Octoberfest beer tasting and fly fishing expo an October 20th. CCR has been very supportive of PCT's efforts on the creek. Lets have some fun and renew acquaintances
Hit the creek with Richard. Met DrDan and had a nice chat. It's always cool when you meet a fellow poster and they turn out to be nice in person. Had a decent day, nothing spectacular. Had 11 fish on and again, only 4 to hand. Only getting about a quarter of my fish to hand these days and boy do they like to go ae...
So I just found out Lance Gray is doing a "Putah creek class" coming up in December?? Claims to be teaching about seasons, hatches, access points etc. Greg or Steve know about this? Why is he doing it in the worst time of year to be out there, not to mention the access points are mostly untou...
Found a pod of hungry rising fish, but they were difficult to get to. I managed to get my caddis over to them on a couple of occasions and was rewarded with several arial displays. Got another on a small green bugger which was only supposed to be an attractor fly. Best part of the eveniong was scooping up a h...

Haven't been out to Putah as much this summer compared to last, but overall I've had some pretty decent outings. Went out yesterday and fished from 2-7PM. I've tried a few new flies this year one of which is Arams Secret Agent Brown or Olive and had some really good days on that fly. I've noticed that my...
The DFG was out checking licenses yesterday, first time I've been asked that at Putah which is good news! Make sure you have your barbs pinched. I also found a large bait hook with beads stacked above it at access 1. I also encountered many people asking if there were fish in the river, I told them yes but c...
I begin this posting with a mixture of excitement and guilt. Like all of you I'm sure I'd rather keep my dollars in the U.S , buying American made products and patronizing our retail shops like our beloved fly shops. When I purchase a fly rod or reel etc., and it is of the fixed price point variety like a Sag...
Due to the maintenance of high flows through October 28, the efish volunteer opportunity will be rescheduled in November. I will let you know the reschedule dates.
A friend gave me an old jc higgins click n paw reel and it seems it has been put together wrong or I dont know? Does anyone have any experience with these old style reels and be willing to take a look see and let me know what they think is the problem I would love to get it working Please fee...
As some of you may now I am now based on ther other side of the world. Since departing the US my fishing has take a serious dive. I have only been out about three times over the past year. Anyway here are some pics from my outings. Some are in South Africa on some small farm ponds, fishing small dries late in th...
To all, I was wanting to post a couple of pics from some fishing I have been doing but don't know how to attach a photo from iPhoto. Can't find the photos as file on my computer and thus can't attach to a post. Any help would be appreciated, as you can all see my tech skills are as good as my fishing skills....b...
