5:30 AM me and my brother headed out to the river. Arrived at our location at 630ish, geared up, in the water at 645ish. I was amazingly surprised the water was clear enough to fish, and not chocolate. I failed to land the first hookup, but I did get my second. :). It is weird to see a piggie jump... it looks l...
The lure of the Yuba pulled me in again. I ran up this morning for a quick day trip. Ran into Cody at the parking area when I got there. It looked like he was in a Conestoga Wagon, there were 5 fly fishers packed into a van for their day trip. I hope no one had refried beans for the trip home. Th Skwala hatch ha...
I was just rolling through the Fishing regulations looking at the regs for the yuba and noticed regs for the section below Daguerre Point Dam. It looks like this is artificial only section. Has anybody fished this section before and is it worth the trip? How is the access?
Im going to be out of fishing for a while, last friday i dislocated my thumb/wrist and I met my surgeon tonight and i have surgery friday but after talking to the doctor im going to be out of fishing for about 6 months. I want to thank everyone who has offered to take me out and given me advice thanks guys Kyle...
Sooooo, I went to this place like 10 mins away from where I stay on the weekends. The first day I received a big "EPIC FAIL" in front of my face, and the second day, I was 0/2. First hook up didn't feel that amazing, but it swam downstream and I lost it mid fight.... The second one.. well, let's jus...
KHB, a Veteran Member of the Putah Creek Fly Fishing Forum has suggested a Photo Album so we can share our favorite photos with each other. I have put together a Google Photo Album If you'd like to have photos added to the Photo Album please email them to me at keith@webdesignbykeith.com and make sure yo...
I've read every book out there but i have very little first hand experience and having allot of trouble finding the fish. Got any good tips for Putah Creek. Thank You
What's working on the putah right now? Planning on getting out Saturday and am just curious if any of you will share your knowledge. Alot of guys swear by the WD40. I've tied several and am looking for some more patterns to tie
Anybody have any news on the AR? I think I will be able to sneak away frome work early and fish from 2-3 pm till dark. Plan on Sunrise area. Wondering what the water looks like? I heard that there are bigger fish moving in from the guy working in the Fish First fly shop in Albany today. ?????
I just fished Baum Lake in Shasta county for the last three days. Tons of fish and crystal clear water. Even with all the rain. Had a lot of fun fishing in the snow.
Sounds like some of you have cabin fever??? Just get out there and have some fun!!! No need to argue... Winter fishing is tough, but just getting out on the rivers is fun!! Fish can be caught just bring big ass bright flies and big ass dark flies. Good luck out there!!!
Hello everyone, Was looking around and found this website :). Seems like most of the fly fisherman/woman here are from norcal. The question is, has anyone here ever fished Butte Creek up by Chico/Paradise? I am unsure if there are any river access points, because most of that land near chico is privat...
Anyone interested in buying a 22 pocket Brand New FlyFishing vests I have 2 of them with tags on them. Sizes Large and a XXLarge. I'm asking $20 each. $5 from each vest sale will go to Putah Creek Trout. Thanks Jeff (530) 681-0986
The DFG has released its EIR on hatchery supplements (planted fish). You can view it at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/news/pubnotice/hatchery/ Be forewarned that its several hundred pages of text, maps, tables. Chapter 4 and appendix K are good starting point. My quick distillation is that for PC, t...
Anybody have any experience with thomas & thomas rods. I am getting back into rod building and they have blanks readily available. Pretty similar prices as the z-axis. The finished rods on their website are sexy as hell, but that means little on the water. Probably start with some cheaper st...
Hit the Lower Yuba yesterday on a whim. The spring crowds are beginning already as there were 10 guys above the bridge. The half inch of rain from wednesday put only a slight tinge in the water, which was even lower than 10 days ago. My guess is that is reaching 700 CFS and must be at minimum allowable...
While on the road for work I scrapped together a full day on the South Platte. Cheeseman Canyon to be exact. 26 degrees. A bright day. Gin clear water. It was tough fishing. This little lady got hungry just before dark.
I've heard it said that older rods rated at say, 6 wt would be best paired with a modern 5 wt line. For example, I have an original Sage 6wt/7wt 9' rod (no model designation), would that best be matched with a 5 wt / 6 wt line? Is there a similar "rule" for reels? I could go through trial and er...
some time shortly after Christmas? Supposed to be nasty weather over next weekend but I could probably swing the 26th or 27th before the storms come in.
wished i could have made it up there on sunday with the boys, but couldnt miss out spending time with the gf at a football game. good thing the game wasnt boring. anyways got a lil info from rich and figured y not break in the new boots and the new rod on the yuba. glad i did. so djwatts and myself got up but o cr...
Hit the American this morning. Fished at Watt ave, only two other fisherman showed up at about 11:00am to play in the rain with me for zilch. I saw 3 fish zero grabs. About noon I took a trip up to the hatchery and the diversion gate is removed so the fish can go all the way to the dam, but the gate at the bottom o...
PCT wants to remind you that the angler survey reports are a primary source of information for DFG in its Wild Trout designation evaluation of PC. With their limited resources, the head of Heritage and Wild Trout says surveys are a big help to the process and he hopes level of participation by us fish...
After reading someone's report and all the negative responses about keeping quiet about the big fish being caught, I decided to fish Putah for the first time in a couple years... It is true, positive reports will bring more people to fish the creek just like myself... The creek really has seemed to tak...
You know those days on the Yuba when fish are rising all around you. And you try every fly in your box. And you know the fish are taking emergers by the way they are rising. This may be the solution......
Planning a trip with the fam to head up to nothern Idaho. Ive never been up there im wondering if anyone has any tips on some good rivers or streams. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
