Like a circling Osprey, discerning. Turbid water boils. Stone fly's of pale yellow, emerge from riffles.. Under the Grass moon, Salmonoids rise. From bridge to their lies. Hiking, I anticipate them. Splash. I cast, Splash. Another charges, then into my net, landed. On broken water, again and a...
I don't know if it's just me but I haven't hooked a 10-12 inch fish on putah in a long time. Overall hookups have been going down in past weeks (I'm still figuring things out) but while most hookups tend to be healthy ones in the high teens, there are never any smaller ones in the mix. Makes me wonder about he...

I fished by the bridge for four hours today. Hooked 6 and landed two, both at least 20". One of the fish that I hooked but didn't land looked even bigger. All of my strikes were in the various riffles right under the bridge. A bead head Flashback Copper John size 16 with a gray thread midge nymph size 2...
i have been fishing putah for a good time now and have seen patterns in bites with respect to the time of day. A good friend of mine said pepple use to call putah the 10 to 2 creek due to having much success during those times. of my own experience this tends to hold true. Not to say I haven't had success during...
I am new to fishing the Putah and have found good success, from the first day I had tried. I have fared better at other rivers, however, I have been told catching 4-6 fish a day on the Putah is extremely successful. Here is my most recent report.. Have had success with PT, Copper John (Red),RS2 Olive and G...
A nice start to spring! The bites are great and ive ran into many nice fisherman who have been hooking up. The water was crystal clear Monday with beautiful skies and I had the great pleasure of landing a monster. Just thought I'd share the fun. I'm prepared for negative comments but here he is.
I was planning on hitting the Yuba today but over slept so opted for Putah instead. Within 15 minutes I had hooked up and it was a beautiful fish. gave me about 10 minutes of fun before I got him to the net...and he wouldn't fit! 20 inch fish! took the dropper on 6x so I was pretty lucky to land him. i landed...
In the past couple of weeks I have noticed in a few spots someone has taken a saw and shears and cut some branches and limbs in some key spots on the creek. Just because your flies end up in the bush does not give you the right to landscape the terrain to make it easier for yourself. I know this has happened in...
I had a friend cancel out on me on a guided trip with Hogan Brown on April 13th, so I'm looking for someone to fill the spot. It will cost somewhere in the range of $200. First come, first serve. I'm going no matter what. We haven't decided where yet, but it will be whatever is fishing the best be it trout,...

Please if found call Me Richard this is more than a few flys , And its what I use for my guide service . Thanks Ri...
It been pretty quiet out there, heres a little spice. Some of the local Valley Rivers are having a good run of Spring half pounders. Lots of fun with a small switch rod or even a single hander. Top flies have been green soft hackles in sizes 12-14. Green Hares ear or Ice dub if it there is some color to th...

Drove up to the north end of the lake and fished for just about 2 hours. i had a job to do at my parents so it was a rather late start with the float tube getting in the lake just after 12 noon. If the number of bass boats on the lake are any indication, the bite must be on fire, however, the few people i talked wi...
If you have plans to fish Putah this weekend I suggest you make other plans. I was out there today and watched the first mile turn to mud. The whole creek should be blown out by the morning.
Ive heard of theft at the creek in the past but never thought it would happen to me. I drove my wife's car out yesterday with the plan to fish for a couple of hours before my class. I parked at the redd bed to put on my gear and noticed a WHITE TOYOTA TACOMA STANDARD CAB, looked fairly new. A white heavy set brow...
It has been an extremely dry winter so far. If we go into drought conditions how will this affect the creek flows for the rest of the year? I don't think this dry season will be comparable to the drought in the 70s but.. It's coming close. How did the creek hold up back then? Nic -- Edited by Xnjb707X on W...
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-diego-sheriff-concealed-guns-20140221,0,2138479.story#axzz2u3ch5XlhThe law currently allows you to/from/while fishing but it's a convoluted mess of a law.
I gave Putah a try on Thurs. I haven't fly fished in a lot of years so I pick the one place in the world with the most trees and bushes to rekindle my passion for fly fishing (I did not lose anything to the abundant forest but I did have to learn how to roll cast). I did avoid the beds and hiked about half of the a...
I had planned on making this trip last Summer but a work promotion kinda nixed it. On to 2014 The wife, kids and I are planning a family backpacking trip on the PCT this summer. We are allocating as many as 9 days though 2 of them will be travel. A loop of some sort isn't entirely out of the question but cur...
Hi folks, I went by the Sports Authority in San Francisco (1690 Folsom St.) to find that they are eliminating the fishing department. Everything is 50% off! Allot of the salt-water gear is decimated, but the fly gear is still holding strong. A bunch of combo set-ups, reels, fly boxes, vests, waders, w...
