A few weeks ago Chris Yama (aka "Otter") and I went Davis Lake and then Pyramid Lake NV. Davis was a little slow, but the fish were averaging close to 20 inches. Chris and I both landed 22"ers which were a lot hotter than I remember them. Two of mine took me into the backing. Chris caug...
Hey Guys so I'm new to the forum and decided to share my experience at putah recently. So I am pretty new to fly fishing(1 year), actually to fishing in general. Just started in the summer of 2014 in Mono County Twin lakes, well the first trout I caught I was hooked, i got the itch to fish. Being fairly new to...
Hi All, Just joined the forum after many months of snooping around and reading your posts. Thought it's about time I added, or maybe subtracted, some value :) Got started fly fishing nearly 45 years ago as a young boy in MI. It's one of the things my Dad and I enjoyed doing together. He's gone now, but...
?For anyone interested in a little fly fishing on the Lower Sac or Yuba rivers this spring I will take $100 off any trip done during the month of March. Just mention that you saw me on BONO's website. You pay the half day rate and get a full day of fly fishing. The spring caddis hatch on the Lower Sac should be...
Hey all, New member but I have combed through the forum in the past. It's good to see a tight knit community devoted to such a unique watershed. I have been fly fishing for 15+ years, I have lived in the East Bay most of my life and have just now started fishing Putah.... Yeah, alot of my buddies that fish Put...
All: the current South Putah Canal cleaning operation by SCWA has caused a small number of young fish to be trapped in dewatered small side channels. SCWA and CDFW have been notified. If you fish the creek this weekend look for dewatered areas and stranded or dead fish. Take a count and pictures and mak...
Looks like I picked the wrong day to skip out of work in the AM for a little fishing. Holy Cow did they shut off the water. I could tell as soon as I saw the creek. Water must have dropped over a foot in the last day. Still fished and hand some success. Just got off the creek and checked the flows - down to 4...
Spent a nice morning/ early afternoon with a friend who is just learning to fly fish... Lots of smaller fish in the system 6 to 12". Lots of splashy rises ~ 9:30 am at access 4. Still a bit tough to access the far seam in some of the areas. I noticed that Shon's hole has changed remarkably after the f...

How easily do you all find that trout on Putah get spooked? Any particular tactics that you've have found successful? Which of the following are/aren't important? Ideas I've considered: - Avoiding brass beads - Using no larger than 5x fluoro - Avoiding overly flashy flies. I'm thinking flashb...

I believe I started this thread last year and, as always, it generated a maelstorm of differing opinions from "stay off the redds" to "stay off the creek" altogether. I am convinced that a number of folks were so intimidated that they did give up fishing during the winter.Star...
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...

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...
