I got up to the Putah on the 13th , sorry it took me a while to post. the water was pretty darn high, I crossed by the redds just down from the campground and the water was about 2 fingers from swamping my waders. Not even a look or a twitch till I bushwacked down to the spot someone was kind enough to show me a f...
RG - you asked for a report and here it is. Yuba fishes great right now from dawn till about 1:00. Salmon are starting to show, but aren't on redds yet. I had some success with caddis poopahs yesterday (orange and red) and i got a few on egg patterns. I fished it yesterday and was not disappointed. JL
What brand of dry fly floatant do you like ? Personally Daves bug float from umpqua is probably the one I found best. Although I used one called fly sauce(dont remember who makes it) And it was a close second. Rio's Floatant works fine but seems to not last as long. The one thing I really don't like is when f...
me and otter hit the carson this weekend and thought I was going to get skunked again but finally picked up a nice 17 in brown and some small bows and another 12in brn not so bad , but was unable to do the hike down from the bridge so we mostly fished above the bridge . after sleeping on the ground my back was pre...

Folks: I'm headed to Michigan for the next step in my career. I start my new gig on 9/20, but will be commuting back and forth for a few months. I'll be resigning my board position on Putah Creek Trout, effective immediately. I've loved my time here in California and many of the members of this forum have...

Headed out for a few hours fishing on Monday. Unfortunately, we started out late and only got to the river about noon and it was hot hot hot. I thought the warm weather would put the fish down on the bottom but it wasn't the case. Had a very good afternoon with a few larger than normal (for me) fish. In total I...
So my buddy and I made it out to the Carson for the first time. Labor day weekend (Sunday). Got on the water a little before 8:00am downstream of Hangman's. Beautiful river. We did alot of walking to get away from all the people that eventually showed up. I rigged up the night before with a stonefly n...

I was on the way home from a fishin trip last night and saw two groups of Elk cruising. The first group had a monster bull sitting on the side of the hill, but was too far away to get a picture. This is the second group here although this bull was a smaller sample. Still impressive though and you can actual...
Made a late afternoon run to the creek..Fishing over the last few weeks went from great to poor..It wasnt the silt , lack of bugs, over growth of grass or my fishing buddy for the day...I can only blame my lack of success on one thing...That stupid float tube Otter gave to JL....My hole has been raped.......
Hello everyone, I am heading out to float tube Heenan lake for the first time in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone have any advise for a first timer on that lake?
My rant is this, Every angler survey box I have encountered this year on sierra waters have been empty ! I think 6 I have checked. Its obvious they have been empty for sometime as theres no pencils and theres just dust in them, And if they were just empty from being filled out you would be able to see them in t...

I picked up a new 7/8 Okuma Vashon reel for dirt cheap. I don't need that size reel but I couldn't pass up the price. Anyone want to trade for a 5 wt reel? -- Edited by Ty on Friday 27th of August 2010 10:52:58 AM
November 11-14 me and 2 buddies will be heading East. It's really cold but a great time to be there. May hike up to Kirman and try for some big Brookies, never been there.
Fished a few hours in the evening on the hottest day of year. Tons of bugs, which was nice to see, and one of those days on Putah when you realize what a great fishery it can be. I hooked into at least 30 fish, with lots of LDRs in fast water, most fish in the 10 to 13 inch range with a couple bigger and several s...

PCT is partnering with RJFlyTrips for drifting the egg bite on the Lower Sac and Yuba Rivers. The "egg bite" refers to the large and numerous rainbows that line up below the Salmon redds to eat the loose eggs that drift down. 40-50 fishes days are common and they are LARGE fish. We have reser...
Never before had I caught two fish on the same cast. Was throwing a hopper with a caddis dropper, fish rises, i set, and all of a sudden a tug of war commences between a 14" bow and about a 13" pike minnow. Laughed pretty hard, and brought them both to hand. As always, released the little bow t...
