PCT is interested in finfing out if you have seen active spawners on the redds at the usual places. Much of the best areas appear to be weed choked and the one fish I saw today was finning up a cloud of silt every time she made a pass over the gravel-not a good sign. This is an informal follow up to last years SC...

Is anyone familiar with the original series of Abel TR reels? I've just picked up a used Abel Trout TR3, the current ones are supposed to be rated for 7 & 8 wt lines but in hand it looks more like a 5wt reel. Any thoughts on this? I'm hoping to scrape together a 7 wt rig and was planning on using th...

I am into fly fishing for only a couple of years now, I've done quite a bit of fishing on the east coast. While reading through the posts about staying away from the redds several members mentioned that there are plenty of other places to fish around here. I would love to hear about them, I know of Putah and...
Earlier this week three DFG biologists and their helicopter pilot were killed in an accident in Madera County. The California Association of Professional Scientists has established a memorial fund for the three Fish and Game employees and the pilot killed in Tuesday's crash. Checks can be sent...
Haven't seen any posts about anybody scoring some gear on Christmas. Just wondering if you've all been good boys and girls. Personally I got a nice fly box and a waterproof camera. Now I can prove to my wife that I actually catch fish.
as a few of you know, I'm a very beginning fly fisherman with a $20 4weight fly rod, I couldnt even tell you the name of it. Well I broke it fishing for striper again (about 2-3 pounds didnt weigh it but was 22 inches), and it isnt worth fixing. So that brings me to my questions. 1. What weight fly rod should I g...
Just to let everybody known , That Dave’s was at the Hazel parking area down from the hatchery side Wedesday afternoon some cars were broken into today . So don't bring anything of value you don't mind missing. MOSES
Can anyone help me understand the layout of the Yuba access points upstream of the Hwy 20 bridge? I believe they are all privately owned, but I was suprised how many people/cars were accessing the river from up there the other day. Is the UC property the one on the north side of the river with the picnic t...
I am going to fish the stan sunday near the goodwin dam and was concerned about possible auto break ins. I heard that they have probs up there and was wondering has any one had any break ins and where they were parked and any advice as to where to park or any other advice thanks .
Now that the regulations change has passed, some of the real follow-up work that is necessary begins. This is an opportunity to pitch in and participate in PCT. I am working from several angles on how to best convey the information of our new fishing regulations change at Putah Creek. One idea i...
Merry Christmas Fly-Fishers and soon....a Happy New Year!! Richard and I are thinking of going New Years' Day or Saturday......anyone else planning to go?? I got AWESOME wading boots for Christmas!! and today got them fitted with the new studs @ Leelands-- cool!! I'm ready to try 'em out!
looks like the new boots are just a tad to big. they are almost brand new, i did wear them a few times to see if i could get around them being just a bit big. but i couldnt so need to sell and get a size 11. again they are almost brand new and only worn a few times. these boots are great, i have heard mixed reviews on...
Dr. Bombay, Packrat and myself made another impromptu dash up to the Yuba on Saturday. We chased the last of the rain on the way up. It was overcast and misty in the morning . . . perfect conditions. The river was even lower than 10 days ago if you can believe that. The rain did not put any color into the ri...

African Angler, Packrat, Brian Clemns and I all felt a sudden illness coming on and decided to take a day from work and recuperate on the Lower Yuba yesterday. It was a good decision, because despite the weather forcasts, it ended up being a nice day. Just as well, the weather forcast kept all of the si...
Went up to the Trinity a few weeks back. Was really cold and fishing was slow but I did manage to lose my Steelhead virginty!!! Sorry it has taken me a while to post...Sad thing is though I hear the Trinity is fishing really well and I am sick So won't be able till after I geet back late Jan. Anyway for those o...
I ponied up for some Sharkskin line last week and got to toss it a lot on the Yuba last week. Once you get used to the annoying noise, it does cast better and really floats well. I didn't think it was so far superior over other lines I've used in the past, but I'm interested to see how it maintains its' boyan...

Just wanted to hear peoples predictions on how they think putah will be fishing in the coming years since we have the new regs? Will we see a dramatic improvement in the fishing or is it going to be a slow process? Will there be more or less fisherman fishing putah now? Will putah ever be planted again?...
I was on the creek yesterday and as nice as the new regs are, all of the old regs are still posted. I was thinking perhaps it would be nice if we could somehow partner up with DFG to get the old regs taken down and post the new regs. You can't really blame somebody for not knowing the new regs if the old regs are s...
