I have been a flyfisher for over 40 years. When I got my first VCR, I started recording every trout-related flyfishing show that I could. Consequently, I have a collection of easily more than 500 shows. However, in the last year and a half, I have probably recorded less than a half dozen shows, not becau...
Have a Sage SFL 580 and the cork health is dwindling. Could anyone point in the right direction for replacing cork on this old rod or whether its probable? Thanks
Lost it this morning at the head of the island at access 5. Had it strapped to my pack and when I got to the water, after wading across, I no longer had it. Searched the trail but didn't see it. It must have fallen into the water when I was wading. It's still wrapped in its cloth. If anybody finds it please repl...
He's gutting the clean water act. He's gutting the clean air act. He's not opposed to re-introducing dredger mining in rivers. He's gutting the endangered species act (rare species of Cutthroats anybody?). The rules regarding what mine operators can dump are being reviewed. SO...MUCH....WINNI...
got there at 6, gate was locked. wasn't opened untill after 7:30. Went fishing and quickly caught my first fish. It was exactly 3 inches long. Then the wind came up from the west and rendered my new two weight useless for casting dries. Reverted back to nymphs and caught five more, the largest of which...
I know, I know it's not a rod / reel/ boat/ waders ...etc. but it's my website so what the hell😬. I have two Honda ct90s for sale, 1970 and a 1972. They look and run great, they will start on first or second kick. Great bikes for hunting or searching for your favorite hard to reach fishing spots.they both hav...
Hey Forum Folks! I am a newcomer to this discussion, as I have finally begun making visits to Putah with some measured success. I'm just curious... what's the CFS zone for "ideal fishing" on the creek, and when does it reach "utterly un-fishable?" I see that the current flow is pushing 680, but I don't k...
All: Yolo County has closed all Fishing Accesses due to the rapidly spreading County fire. Highway 128 is closed at Pleasant Valley road and at Markley Cove. YC's notice says the closure is in effect until "the fire is out".
I’m pretty sure that river etiquette is that when someone is tying up their rig while standing in front of a hole that you’re not supposed to show up, step up to that exact water and begin fishing that hole.Thanks,Kevin Even after suggesting that I was just planning on hitting that water, these two pol...
I used these maybe 3 times within the last 2 years. New they go for around $150. Why get new ones? These are as good as new, and can be had for $75.The RodMounts Sumo Fishing Rod Carrier offers the ultimate in versatility and performance for transporting rods of all types, far exceeding anything else on t...
Anybody care to chime in on how the fishing has been the last couple of days? Are the Flows at their summer level yet? I looked at the charts but those things can be quite unreliable.
a friend said he saw a dog running around access 4/5 did anyone else see him today , i am bringing a bag of food and a bowl for him tomorrow . anyone else see him ?
I caught a fish yesterday for maybe the third time. He came in really fast and I realized that I knew this guy. I let him loose as fast as I could ( thank Hod for barbless hooks ) , but it left me with a hollow feeling. I don't mind annoying the trout, but I'm not into abuse. Have any of you encountered the same si...
I've read the language of it but most of it seems insignificant vs the amendments made since 1968. Besides most winery owners say early nineties was too late to put in vineyard /winery on a slope.
Creative Sports fly shop in Pleasant Hill, is in danger of closing , thanks to last year's heavy snowfall and people buying their stuff off the Internet. So GO BUY some stuff there. I'm talking to all of the people in the Walnut Creek Lafayette (sp.) area. yeah, you might save 20.00 on new waders but wha...
, I recently decided i like the idea of having a portable shack set off to the side maybe on the concrete slab up by the bridge parking lot , I can already hear all the voices making there points of opposition DFG wouldnt allow it or it would get broke into or stolen . But it would be really be nice to have a plac...
Food for thought Reese Halter is a visiting research scientist and distinguished conservation biologist from California Lutheran University. His latest book is “The Insatiable Bark Beetle.” Climate change dropped further from the world headlines in 2011 compared with the previous year even...
I snagged 2 lines yesterday. First, was about 50 feet of nylon/mono/fluoro. I'm not sure what it was attached to as I had to break it off. But, 50 feet worth? What the heck is someone doing? Anyway, next was at least 100 feet of braided line I think, almost like a dacron backing. This was attached to...
While fishing today at access 5 the passenger's side window of my car was shattered. Time was somewhere in between 10:30am and 11:30 am. No fishing gear was taken, but a Black Backpack with my school supplies was taken. I am posting this as both a warning for anyone who leaves gear in their car. Be carefu...
Personally, I love helping a nearby angler get a picture with their catch. A recent experience left me wondering if some folks might find it intrusive to ask them to stop fishing and come take a shot of a quality fish. It honestly hadn't occurred to me as I am happy to take a minute to help out. How do you...
I was fishing the deer sign access yesterday afternoon and a Cicada landed on my friend's pack. Is this a normal thing at Putah? I've never seen one here before and wonder if the strong wind gusts blew him in from somewhere.. Got me thinking if I should tie up some foam cicadas lol.. In other news, fishin...
we lost a set of keys yesterday and are hoping they may turn up. We were at #3 on the upstream side of the parking lot and fished mostly upstream from that lot. Please keep an eye out if you are fishing there. Thank you.

If you have rod with butt attached bring with for fit . PS still have them wading boo...
Fished yesterday and caught a fish with visible copepod parasites at the base of the dorsal and adipose fins. Wondering if anyone else has seen this on the river. I pulled them off. Kind of gnar.
I thought this rod was a couple years older. I found the paperwork while packing boxes in preparation for the move to Michigan. It has been my go to rod from Eagle lake, Pit, Lower Sac, Feather, Yuba, Putah, etc etc. I've never owned a really fast tapered rod and this one is far from it. I just like them s...
