I have been pondering this question recently. Why choose to go to a creek, river or lake with rod and reel in hand? Why not just take a pair of hiking shoes and a camera or maybe a pair of binoculars to observe the wildlife? Im currently formulating my own response but I would enjoy hearing others thought...

Two buddies and I fished the Lower Stan just below Goodwin Dam on Friday, 1/7/2011. Fishing pressure was relatively light; we saw only five other guys all day. Flows over the spillway were about 200 cfs. It was cold and overcast all day. Fishing was typical for this time of year on the Lower Stan, wi...

Attached is an example of a typical redd bed complete with fish. This photo was taken when the creek was in better shape than it is now.

Fished the low flow section of the Feather today . Fishing was slow, one half pounder. Talked to six others , no one had any hookups.

As well all know its that time of year for steelhead. Dont know about you but I have been itching for awhile, and getting a semi fix on the Feather, due to High Water on the Yuba and the American. With the Yuba at 19k on 12/20 and then 12k on 12/30 the Yuba has been blow out. But with a recent letup in the rain, I...

So what are your fishing resolutions for 2011? 1) Use less strike indicators 2) Fish more stillwaters 3) Snorkel rivers 4) Build a fly rod

Im over the "redds" thread because its going no where and is completely unproductive at this point...and I know others are over it too. I wanted to start a new thread that focuses on ideas of how to approach and educate other fishermen while promoting the sport of fly fishing. Also feel free...

I talked to DFG today to see what was going on across from the campground at Access 1. I have been seeing DFG people at the Audubon Gate. Apparently DFG and Audubon sponsored a pig hunt on the Audubon property. Four pigs were taken all around 200 pounds. Now that is a Putah Pig!!! I may have to get a hun...

Fished hard today and in the afternoon I finally landed a putah creek hog over 20 inches, Brian and I estimated this guy at a good 22 inches, Hmmmm, maybe a little bigger . I've hooked fish at least as big but never landed em. This guy took a #22 olive midge with a green glass bead head. Other then that fishin...

As you all know I never post about my days on the water unless a good funny story is to be had . I shot up to the trinity for 2 days of fishing with 59 Pines..The Trin has been back to normal these last couple of years..Most days a good angler is looking for one mabe two grabs while on foot....Gone are the 12...

Hello All, I have been lurking these pages for a couple of years now and thought I should introduce myself. As a Winters native I have fished the creek all my life and pronounce it as Pu-tah not Pootah as I hav heard many of you say. I am not one to really post on forums but I will chime in from time to time. I...

So I'm pretty bored, so I thought I'd put up this pic. I played golf 2 weeks ago right next to piece of water. Your only hint is that it is in NorCal. Edit: Crap, it came out pretty small so put it up on your BIG monitor. -- Edited by Ty on Monday 20th of December 2010 04:07:44 PM

The new 2011 fishing licenses are computer generated. They slide your driver's license through a computer. My guess is if you have tickets you will probably be denied... Anyways the steelhead cards are now about two feet long. The salmon cards required for the Smith this year are about 3 feet long...

I just wanted to post under the "putah creek flyfishing report" because this is the heading that gets the majority of the traffic. You all should go the the "a little shameless promotion" and see the info on our very own James Haghns book about his dad. I just finished it a few wee...

Hey Anglers, I have been reading the forum with much interest and this is the first forum I have ever joined so in advance, excuse me if I am long- worded. I am interested in fishing Putah Creek tomorrow, Thursday December 30. I want to get 1 last day out of my 2010 CA license and get my new Simms boots wet...

My girlfriend bought this DVD for me for Christmas and I just finished watching it. What a great film! I would highly recommend this to anyone. Pretty amazing how much things changed in 60-70 years. Only if we could turn back time and alter the way things were done. It really makes you think...
