DFG has replaced the Survey Box forms with a new one. It is simpler and no longer refers to planted fish. Keith will be replacing the online form as well. Please complete a form each time you fish, at the box or online. This data is very important to evaluating the condition of the fishery. You can downloa...

Hello all, I'm a lure fisherman that saw the light... and turned to the fly. I've recently joined the Napa Valey Fly Fishers and Trout unlimited. I've been out only a handful of times with only moderate success, as I'm learning it's hard to find motivated people and even more difficult to understand...

A couple of months ago, I sent in a postcard and entered the lottery for an opportunity to fish on the UC property at the Lower Yuba. I somehow got all 4 days I asked for on this great opportunity. April 18th was my first day to enjoy on the property. Word was that fishing had slowed down on the river and thi...
Went striper fishing with the former PCT leader. Gary caught this mystery fish! I was just having a hard time casting my 9wt with a sinking tip. Gary says it is easier to catch the shad in a few weeks. I can't wait for the shad.

I'm in the market for an 8wt 10' rod for steelhead....my 7wt just doesn't have the power that i need to make long casts with big flies. I have lots of high dollar equipment that I'm happy with, but I'm thinking of going the cheap route and getting Redington cps or cpx. People say that they are as good as many...
PCT is holding a fundraiser with PCC on April 10 near Winters to support our conservation projects on the Creek. We will be showing the award winning movie "Rivers of a Lost Coast" on the decline of the Steelhead and Salmon fisheries in Northern California. Admission is from $15-$25 per pe...
I haven't fished the creek for quite some time and decided to go check it out, ha ha. The creek is a solid chocolate brown. There is some green water above Cold creek. I can't believe how much silt is coming down Cold creek. Just walking up a bit you can see that this is the source of many problems on Puta...
Fished Pyramid Lake this weekend, fishing was slower that reported. 10 fish all day between 2 of us, 9 cuts, 1 qui-wi. The last fish of the day was a monster though and my new personal best on a fly rod, 29 inch, 9 pounds, measured and weighed not a guess. Also fished a river on the way home and it was really go...
Ive been getting a good number of request for a putah creek crash course..Bono and I did one last year . I would be more than happy to put on another class again this year..I would also like to do a redds class as well (about the spawn on putah). When the creak clears up I will start off with a redds class the...
Great day (if a bit windy). Thanks Steve for setting up. Did land one nice fish, though I think Alistair and MX got the most fish. I targeted only large ones (LOL). Couple photos attached. JL
I am looking at getting a switch rod for trout. I will be buying to use mosly on the Yuba, but I might use it on the Truckee, Little Truckee, American for half pounders and maybe Putah. I wanted to ask if anyone has used the TFO Professional series 11ft 5wt switch as well as the Deer Creek 11ft 4 an...
Hello Everyone, I will be traveling to Sonoma on a work vacation from April 20-25. I am very excited to get out for a day or 2 on the Putah Creek while I'm there. I have really enjoyed reading all of the tips and discussions about your local fishery. My question is what fly shops would you recommend in the...
Just a final wrap up for this Sunday. We'll meet at Fishing Access #5 parking lot at 9:30 AM. If you have a heavy duty stapler, bring it with you. Same goes for a small ladder or two as well. I have the following people who have graciously volunteered their time: SK60, Brian Clemens, Dr. Bombay, Eme...
sarah and I drifted from just above turtle rock from about ten to 5 too about two miles down with slim from cast hope. Our first time on a drift boat for me or sarah what a great thing to see sarah finally hit some fatties and the the biggest one of the day probably around five pounds and 22 inches-- not sure o...
I have taken on the job of organizing this year's Woodland Cub Scout Pack 499 Fishing Derby on Sunday, April 25th. I am hoping that some of you can help me come up with a location to take 20-30 youngsters out and catch some fish (species don't matter). This location would have to be within an hour of Woodl...
I recently wrote U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein in regards to the Delta water flow issue. Thought I'd share her canned response with everyone. For some much needed levity on this issue from Jon Stewart go here. In between laughs he aptly points out that we are currently in this situation thanks to the e...
I was hanging out at a local fishery last weekend, and was surprised by a warden??? He hiked into the canyon to check my license I guess.... Anyways he checked license and hooks. He decided one hook was not pinched down enough. He asked if I had pliers... I gave him my flat tipped pliers and he pinch...
I haven't been on the Yuba since November. Sounds like some are having good days reading the latest entries. This winter has not been good to me so its my first time out this year at all. Anyone have anything else as far as how its fishing? Thx Brett
The lure of the Lower Yuba got me again. I made an early morning decision to head up to the Lower Yuba on Friday. The flows were over 2300, Deer Creek was at 119 CFS, meaing the Lower Yuba was probably muddy. There was a chance of rain. I decided the hell with it, I had to run up. Worst that could happen w...
