If you go to the right spot right now, you might catch more than you can count, ranging from 6 inches to 16 inches, as I did from 5:00 to 7:00 last night. JT special and a grey zebra midge were killing them. If we get the regs passed for next year, perhaps the entire creek will reemerge as stellar. JL
I have just switched to using flouro for my leader and am having trouble tying a Perfection Loop in it ?!?I can't get it to hold and it keeps slipping, am I doing something wrong?? Sorry for all the questions...and thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Alastair
To all, As most know I am a rookie and unfortunately don't get much time to fish anywhere else but Putah. So don't get into many fish I am sure it is me more than anything. I seem to do a lot of obssesing over wether I have enough weight or too much is my dropper long enough or too short, leader to long short etc e...

I have been using a "Thingymabobber" as my indicator. I really like them but have 2 problems. Continually leaving kinks in my tapered leader, or it continually slides down the leader, especially now that I am using a level 3x leader most of the time. For now I am using one of those slide ones...
Hey guys, I haven't posted much here recently for different reasons. It looks like the Winter fighting is already starting up. I just want to remind you guys that there are LOTS of other options for winter fishing other than Putah. The last 2 years I hardly fished Putah in the Winter and didn't really mi...
Just wondering if anybody has been using their Putah Flies offered by PCT this Spring? I tried them for the first time today, I've been holding out because I'm to afraid to lose one. Had no luck with my usual cast of characters, so I tried the tiniest of the red midges, one with a glass beaded head and the ot...

Sorry I missed everyone on Saturday, I had to work in the morning and thought I had no chance of heading up there but I finished my job a little early and at around 10am with my youngest son we headed to our ranch on the creek. We went to our usual areas between access 3 and 4 on the back side of the creek with the...
.....Since I just purchased a float tube im getting excited about doing some lake fishing.....But now that I think about it ive never done it....Any tips suggestions.....much appreciated thanks :)
Not sure where to post this but, here goes. Have any of you caught the fish of a lifetime and saved the fly, never to be used again and kept it somewhere, like on your hat or something?
Last year I was unable to be apart of the Redds 101 class and was wondering if you are going to be hosting a similar class this year? Would only seem fit since we are trying to get the regs changed. Perhaps we could make an outreach to others not just on the board? The more people know about the redds the bette...
Im heading for the american monday with a friend and need some advice : do I swing without a indicator and how well does that work verses nymphing under a indicator?. annie suggested both ways. what's your opinion other than hold on and fish and expect a big hit if you get one. by the way were hitting the a...
I'll first say they are dinks, But it was fun. Thers a lil creek down the street from me that at certain times of the year at certain tides the stripers come in to feed on these little smelt. Decided to give it a try for the first time with the flyrod this evening and it was alot of fun, 7 stripers to hand in abou...
Considering the bad rap I was probably going to get for this post, going to take it down. Didn't want to confuse people to my intentions. I haven't kept a fish since I started fly fishing. Unless I plan on eating trout that night, I'm going to release them. -- Edited by jvento on Thursday 17th of Septembe...

Attached is a photo of a photarium. The fish remains in water for photos. The photos are being used by Cramer Fish Sciences to identify trout, salmon and steelhead on the Stanislaus.

The girlfriend and I are going to Donner for the weekend with her classmates. She has not been fishing since she was a kid and I need to assure her the $40 she spent on her fishing license this year will not be a waste! Have you guys fished Donner creek? From what I am reading online, it looks like bait fishin...
On a standard 2 nymph setup, what is the purpose of the first fly? Do you tie something on that you know will get strikes, and a different dropper just to double your chances? Or do you tie on more of an attractor type fly just to get the trouts attention and then tie a dropper that you know will get hits? -- Ed...

Was on the water early. For about 3 hours. Got 2 half pounders to net (more like quarter pounders. lol. ). Flows are coming down. I got a couple of questions. The DFG handbook states that for the purpose of filling out the steelhead card a steelhead is defined as a rainbow trout (in anadromous water...
its that time of year again folks and again I am reaching out to see if anyone is interested in trading flyfishing gear or guided trips for some place to dove hunt for my kid. Thanks Greg 707-480-3809
