Dear Sir, I would like to address the attempts being made by the Putah Creek Trout foundation (P.T.C.) and any affiliated fly fishing groups to make Putah Creek a dedicated, no take, "wild fishery". I would like to start by saying there would, in all likelihood, be no wild trout in Putah C...
I was out last week and I saw some guys fishing with sin rods, so I watched to see if they were using bait. It looked like they were using artificial eggs, but the rubber powerbait type not a yarn type. Is it legal to use rubber bait? What if it has a scent? I took a photo of the truck with the license plate showi...

As we all know, hunting for chrome or trout right now just isn’t in the lineup for our weekly ritual due to the high blow out flows of every CA River. Well I just couldn’t take the cabin fever anymore. 2 weeks of tying, canceling trips, more trying and playing an occasional video game just wasn’t cutting t...
Just wondering if anyone ever fishes Putah Creek that feeds Berryessa? I haven't ever been up there to see it for myself but I figured kokenee probably run up there to spawn and possibly a few rainbows. I think I am going to go check it out this week depending on the weather. Any info would be great.

I have a used TFO Signature 7'6" 2pc 3wt rod, with Ross Flywater 1 reel, with line and backing for sale. This is TFO's entry level rod (lifetime warranty), and the Ross Flywater was Ross's high end entry level reel, and was replaced by the Flyrise. The Ross Flywater also has the same drag system as t...
Fished in rain yesterday; vis is very low and fish are hiding. Saw one fish about 10" hit my 3/4" thingamobober, so I switched to egg pattern. No fish caught between me and my brother. If you do fish Putah careful of the skunks...they are everywhere.

Anybody on the board fish Lake Berryessa much? I have spring break coming up in a couple weeks and I thought I'd give it a try, but I've never fished it before. I just inherited a canoe and want to try it out as well. Is the flyfishing any good on berryessa or would it be better just to go to lake solano?
Fishing has been a little slow on Putah. I saw these Gama hooks to size 30... I may have to order some for those slow days.http://www.bearsden.com/product8747.html

A survey being conducted on the creek by DFG and PCT indicates the spawn is about over. But that does not mean its safe to wade in the tailouts and other redd areas. After fertilization, the eggs are at risk to crushing boot treads for 45-50 days afterward. That means its another month, until April, befo...
I just moved to davis from livermore becuase I'm attendind UCD. While I was living in the Bay Area my usual haunt was the lower stan, below goodwin dam, but now that I'm so close to Winters I figured I should turn my attention to Putah Creek. I tried the creek for the first time last thursday. I fished u...
Had a blast with my father fishing the Lower Sac with Ryan Johnston. After teaching the old dog the new trick, we boated 26 nice rainbows which topped out at 19.5". We drifted the middle section. It was cold but dry. Most of the fish were taking orange egg patterns! Weird time of year for that bu...
I had a chance to go to the Flyfishing Show in Pleasanton today. Once again, fewer rod and reel manufacturers and fewer outfitters as well. No DF&G booth either. No Leland or Western booth as well. This show sems to get a bit smaller every year. I'm amazed that a number of larger rod and reel ma...

Met up with Brian on the American this morning to test the spey rod for his up coming Alaska trip. This is a 11 weight, a little heavier than his 5 weight. He tied on a piece of red yarn an cast down and across and said he thought he felt a tug. Next cast he got two tugs , third cast also got a tug. He then tied on an a...
Fished the Yuba for a couple hours down below diguere on Friday, only one fish, but I didn't really fish that hard either (my brother was with me who didn't have waiders so I couldn't really get to fish all my favorite spots). Drove up below parks bar mid afternoon to see if any hatches were going on, none...
SINCE I SAT THROUGH AND READ EVERY WORD OF THE RECENT "REDD DEBATE" ON THE PUTAH CREEK SECTION, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE CHECKING ALL THE PREVIOUS THREADS TO SEE IF ANY HAD BLOGGED ABOUT PONTOON BOATS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM? I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BRANDS, EQUIPMENT, SINGLE PERSON BO...
