Went for a walk today behind my house along the creek here in winters. The restoration that was done increased the rate of the flow, and made the creek much deeper and more narrow. There are a couple sections that look like they could hold fish, if the fish were there to be held. Just wondering if anyone k...
Yolo County has closed the parking lots due to vandalism of the iron rangers for whatever money they may contain. I know most of us park on the shoulders anyway, but many that use them for picnics, etc. are affected. If you find vandalism, be a good neighbor and call Jerry Wright of Yolo County Parks, 530...
Reports are coming in that individuals are targeting fish on their redds, particularly near access 3 and around the bridge. PLEASE LEAVE THEM ALONE! They are not interested in your flies and snagging in the body or flossing them in the mouth area is illegal. Spawning fish are highly visible, bri...
Hit the creek yesterday and tried all the usual spots. Got the big skunk but did have a couple small ones hooked up for a few seconds. What was interesting was that I saw rising fish. I'm no entomologist but some sort of hatch was going off, there were clouds of bugs drifting and flying near the surface. Es...
I have a 1 man pontoon boat for sale, pontoons measure 9'. Boat is in great condition I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it anymore, it's been used maybe 6 times since buying it, paid $600.. Cant upload pics with iPhone so text or call me and I will send pics. I will let it go for $275..... Not in pic...
I forgot to mention in my Putah report yesterday an unusual catch. I caught what I think is called a stickleback. It was less than 1-1/4" long. And yes, it actually ate my #22 midge nymph.
Im looking to sell my Scott S4 9' 5 Weight. Rod has been used for one summer on the South Fork of the Snake. This is Scott's top of the line fast action rod. Rod is in great shape. Cork looks like normal like any other fished rod. Besides that everything is in great condition. Rod comes with sock and tube. Per...
Kind of a weird part of the year. Maybe folks are tying to keep their boxes full, some maybe keeping up with steelhead flies, some maybe gearing up for spring already? What's everyone tying out there??? Curious to know.
Just got an email that the Redwood chapter of Trout Unlimited is having a meeting Tuesday, Dec. 20 over here in Santa Rosa. If any of you folks wanna check it out shoot me a pm and I can give you the info. They may have it up on thier website also, haven't checked yet. Good opportunity to meet folks and if y...
Hey Alastair: does SA have any native trout, or just imported rainbows and browns? The yellow fish looks like a challenge-up to 10 lbs. Are you going their for the holidays?
Many have noted that the USGS site has been stuck at 57 CFS For more than a week now despite the obvious increase in flow. I messages the isle manager. Here is his reply:
"Thank you for your observations. It is impossible for me to tell from the graph what might be happening.
I will let the Sacrame...
Holy crap! Texas Rangers free agent pitcher is seeking $100 million plus to pitch for five years!! Good thing the Giants have pitching. Well I guess there is the Zito loss. I think he is going to get 15-16 million to sit on the bench... I looked it up Zito will make 19 million to sit on the bench. Afte...
I see someone has takin it upon themselves to do some tree cutting along putah creek to gain more or "easier" fishing. Using pruning shears is one thing but this is beyond that. I'd like to hear what others think about this. I can potentially see this becoming a problem. I think if you need to...
I live about an hour from Putah creek by Middletown. I haven't fished much in the last two years due to my wife's health issues. She's better now. I will be there monday for most of the day. If you want to meet up, let me know. On the other hand, I will be driving a white Ford Ranger if you see me there. Mi...
Yesterday I lost a fly box close to access #3 beside the creek. It is tan and has "American Flyfishing Co" on the front. Please let me know if you find it!
Being out of work has got me to start thining about alternate ideas to make a little bit of money other than doing electrical side jobs. Is their any real market for somebody to produce a couple of small wooden prams/driftboats a year? I've been thinking of smaller boats such as the one acutioned off by...
I have hit the Delta a few times and always get skunked. I finally caught a fish. It was slightly bigger than the fly!!! We caught some bigger fish, and had a lot of fun. A big thanks to my guide and striper king GC.
I have no intentions of starting the argument that went on last year with this question I'm just curious. I was looking back through older posts and saw a lot of reports from late december early january that were accompanied by pictures of large obviously spawning fish. Some pictures i could recogniz...
So we did the 5 flies you would fish, what about species? And for this one you only get one pick.....caddis, may, stone, midge, leech, toad, squirrel, whatever your fav but you only get one pick.
I saw this on Moldy Chum today..... if any of you are look a like it is worth a try. I reckon if Cliff had a few double-doubles and a shake or two to wash them down he would be in with a shout?? Is it worth shaving your head for a chance at an Echo Rod of your choice?
Thank all of you who've reported your trips to the creek. We had 42/45 reports with fish caught, 1-17, ave. 6+ (257 total). This is about double last years totals for November. These results may be skewed a bit by who is/isn't completing a survey when they go out. If you are not catching fish, that infor...
The creek flows will be going up tomorrow to send a pulse down the lower creek to assist any salmon to come up for spawning. The flows are usually raised to around 100 cfs for several days; until Dec 5 this year. There is a need to knock holes in beaver dams below the diversion dam all the way out to the Sac ri...
Hello there, tiger.huang@jigreels.com I saw Bob have a question about JigReels Fishing Tackle from Shanghai. I am the owner, so I have to tell every of you clearly. I worked in a automation control company and Fishing Tackles are my interests, part time job. I work with Quality Fly Reels factory fro...
I'm off to China in a few days on a work trip and because everything is made there these days, including probably all the graphite blanks on the planet, is it worthwhile buying gear there? I've found one site for a store in Shanghai but it could be junk, anyone know? http://www.jigreels.com/fishing-...
Today, after checking spawning sites, meeting some nice folks including bwag, I stopped at Access 5 for a few minutes of fishing. I thought the Cadillac with the pearlescent paint job parked in the lot looked a little out of place as a FF rig (besides who parks in the lot). Moving on, I saw a young man cra...
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...
