The egg bite is on. I was blindfolded and sworn to secrecy, but there are a few steelies and trout behind the salmon this time of year. I am not sure where I was fishing, but I saw quite a few salmon. The only fish I landed was on a small stonefly.
Hey All, I finally decided to stop working around the clock and spend some time standing in the middle of a river waving a stick around. Richard, Sarah, and I hit a "top secret" (not really) spot on Putah and we all had a good afternoon. We ran in to JL on his way out too - hopefully he'll share his...
The flows are really coming down. The creek looks very different from last week. After I finally found the fish I landed 4 out of 6 hooked and got this little beauty. My best of the season so far.
Going to fish the LT for only the second time on Friday. Any general recommendations? The first time we fished it in May or June (for a couple of hours), it was low and had a lot of algae. We started at the dam and worked our way downstream. We got skunked. Without giving away your honey holes, is th...
they sell a setup at sweenys for about 200 but thats a little out of my range any got anything else that might be a little cheaper ? im thinking not but what hell . nothing ventured nothing gained . from what im hearing my 5 wt is too small for steelhead fishing any suggestions
We got back from our Montana run last week. This year we tried something different, going down to Dillon in the fall. We had an opportunity to fish the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Ruby, Poindexter Slough, Red Rock and Big Sheep rivers. We found a fishing lodge called the Great Waters Inn located on the Big H...
It appears to me that the weed growth in the creek has been expanding each year, covering more area in its usual slower water sites and expanding into faster areas where it has been absent or almost so. This year it appears particularly bad. We would like to hear your views, since it is one more environ...
Well boys, we me and my buddy were down fishing Putah Creek and hammered some huge trout in the Riparian Reserve. They were spawning so we thought we would try our luck with rainbow trout streamers and pissed them off. They hammered those streamers so hard and fought like no other fish I have caught on th...
Was on the water yesterday and watched a guy guy hook up with about 4 or 5 fish in 15 minutes. I was watching intently and trying to learn with my eyes. Anyway he told me that he was getting them all on a "Twinkie" like I should have known what that was. I was on the other side of the stream and could h...
Rgloft and I both hit up the creek today. We each caught a fish, mine was a dinky yearling and his was bigger, 8-10"? Did see an Osprey out there too, I guess they wouldn't be around if there were no fish. -Jon
Haven't posted in awhile but thought you guys would like to see some pics from my yearly excursion to the Kenai Peninsula in AK. Fishing was pretty good in terms of size but numbers were down significantly. Landed my PB rainbow of 30" x 18.5" which put it at just under 15 lbs. Had one day where...
Went fishing with Dr. B over the weekend. On saturday I caught around 12 in the morning then it just died out in the afternoon. On sunday I caught around 15 in the morning. The biggest fish was a 16ish incher on a yellow stimulator. I found 3 different spots where I would hook at least 5 fish in each of them. I...
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...
Dear Forum members and guests: Putah Creek Trout has submitted a request for a change in the FGC regulations that, if passed, would make from Monticello Dam to Lake Solano a year-round, zero limit, barbless artificial lures only fishery.Public support of the regulation change is a critical step i...

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...
