I am going to try the lower Yuba for the first time in a couple of weeks. Any advice would be appreciated. Weighted Rubber legs + nymph dropper a good strategy? Cheers, kb
Most the fish I have been seeing lately are bright silver or a little on the dark side. I landed a fish today that was bright red, and a little beat up. Not post spawn colored but full on sokeye red. (Pulled the fish out of a deep run at least 4') I have not seen fish on Putah spawn this late in the year but th...

Hey all, Anyone know if it's too early to fish the South Fork of the American along highway 50? I'm looking for a place to bring my girlfriend (a beginner fly fisher) where the fish are tiny and numerous but there's some dry fly action before the spring runoff. We did well at Putah this past weekend but we'...

There are ten tires left at the parking lot at the bridge I would have taken them but they are filled with water and I have a carpet kit . If no one picks them up I will remove my carpet and do it any one that wants to grab say five of them it would help me in the getting rid of part /////
So I was just reading the new edition of TU mag and there is a great article on golden trout in there. It got me wondering about true natives versus wild fish that are born into a river like Putah. How many species are from California? Curious to see some of your answers.
Friendly advice- always check for ticks after a visit to the PC. my wife was able to pull off MOST of my unwelcome passenger. I had to make a trip to the doctor's office to remove the rest. It also looks like the species that transmits Lyme Disease.
It took a cagey old vet, former Cy young winner to bring us up out the funk. Zito was topping out at 85 today. WTF? A 4 hitter at coor's field is damn hard to to. Last shutout there by any memorable pitcher was Roy Oswalt. The G's haven't started a season 0-4 since 1950 or something like that. 2 more and...
I hooked a silver otter today , I was fishing down around 4 today and hooked what must have been a 8 to 10 pd er All I know is I saw my indicator dip I set the hook, saw a silver flash going deep and heading accross and down stream taking lots of line and deep then turn back up streem swimming fast. Jacked me...
The fish frenzy party is over... Flows on the Lower Stan are up to 1300 cfs. 250 to 1300 in less than a week. The fish are probably now spread out all the way down to Oakdale. It was fun for three months though.
howdy all, first post here. I grew up in San Jose and fished Putah a bit when I was in High School and a couple times when I'd be back in town during college. I'd say I haven't been there since 1997 or so. Anyhoo, I will be in Davis next Wednesday night through sunday morning attending the Salmonid Restora...
For those that may be interested I will be hosted a steelhead trip at Kalum River Lodge on the Skeena River British Columbia. Dates are Aug 12th - Aug 19th, 6days, 7nights. This week is "THE PRIME" week on the Skeena in Aug. This is an even yr so all 5 species of salmon will be there, Pinks, Co...
Fished for about 4 hours, 2 of which were spent prospecting harder to get to areas. Anyone ever manage to catch one in rapids? I bet a lot of fish hold in these remote spots with almost no fishing access. Landed an 18-20 inch on a san juan worm work dropped below a #12 BH prince nymph. Picture attached. Hook...
Off color water and lots of hungry fish. Landed 6 today between 12 and 18 inches. Not a banner day but not bad either. Picked most of em up between the bridge and 2. I would say don't go too far downstream right now. Hot flies were red san juans, brassies, and olive military mays. Was wading up from guide hol...
I've been noticing multiple fish with what looks like parasites. They are small pale yellow worm like beasties about 1/8 - 1/4" long. I see them typically on the fins or areas on the body that look injured. I can easily scrape them off but they are definitely adhered to the fish.
I'm guessing the...
I met a new person to fish with. that lives in Napa and everything . It is always nice to meet a new fishing buddy , Anyway we where just getting ready to leave and head back home when He realized he had lost his net, I know he lost it at the guide hole . Anyways would who ever finds it would you please...

Anyone have success stripping streamers on PC? I've tried a few times without success. I heard an interview with Kelly GaLloup and it made me think.
If you've had success, what type of water and time of year?
Dan
I love it when my Flies Lost Per Hour Fished (FLPHF) is negative. My last outing I picked up 4 more flies than I lost. Some were really nice ties as well. Little jewels. Better than I produce and lose. I attempted a rare false cast at one spot and pulled a rig right off a twig inadvertently. I was shocked to se...
With the morning rains yesterday, I decided fishing was a better option than golf, so even though I got a late start, I packed my lunch and fishing gear and made my way to Putah 5. (Why 5? I think its the prettiest part of the creek, even it it's not the fishiest). From 10:30 - 2:00, zero fish caught and unl...
got a buddy who just moved to san fran area and wants to hit the river anybody willing to show him around... Not a newby either he has worked for several fly shops including marriots, and is probably one of the best out there
I think it was a "mountain otter." The fishing was pretty slow for me and a friend on Wednesday. The water was gin clear although the flows were perfect. I hooked 2 and landed 1 16.5" fish that fought hard. Missed a few grabs. My friend got 2 grabs on the swing, but no hookups. Not muc...
Anyone using the Rio indicator or SA lines out there? I am getting ready to build a Sage 99 and I am curious about matching it up with that line. I have 2 normal WF 6 wt. lines here but I have this bad affinity for new equipment and a rapidly deminishing bank account. Figured I may give that line a whirl. L...
Dear Keith,Lets make 2012 the year that we turn the tide on Pebble for good and protect the incredible Bristol Bay watershed and the world’s largest sockeye salmon run. President Obama has the power to make this happen but he needs to hear from you today. To those of you who have already pitched in by fi...
Here are a few photos of the bugs on the creek today. I also saw a bug that looked like a mahogany dun today. Anyways throw out the little flies and go big!!
Never been up that way before and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll have the whole family in tow, including the in-laws from LA, which means there'll be lots of babysitters and potential fishing time. Where are the "must fish" spots? I don't mind driving an hour or so to get to good fis...
