All, Currently reside in San Mateo, CA and have recently started the endeavor of building bamboo rods. My current living situation, a small studio apartment, is not very accomodating for rod making. Anyone interested in joining me on this learning process and wouldn't mind sharing some workspace...

The one-eyed cut-bow is king! I fished the "dream stream" on wednesday for a couple of hours before my flight back from Colorado Springs. Good fishing, but cold.
My brother and I fished Hot Creek Ranch this past Wed and Thur.? Hot Creek Ranch is dry fly fishing only and wading the stream is not allowed.? On Wed I caught 8 fish; 3 were between 14 and 16 inches and the other 5 were 8-9 inchers.? Thursday I caught only 4 fish, but they were all between 14 and 15 1/2 inches....
Can anybody give me some information as to why PG&E would do all their work and schedule it for September and October? These are two of the prime fishing months and now they are saying that the water is so muddy that we might not be able to get in there to fish it before it closes on 11/15. This makes no se...

Put on a soft hackle hares ear no luck.? Looked in the old fly box and pull out a Matt R special tied by Emerger.? C...
Anyone on the creek today ? The flow chart reads 43 cfs, is this correct ? Is there no min. flow standard for putah creek ? I don't know about you guys but last time the flows hovered around 45 the fishing was really not very productive for me, that was winter of 2006. Well, looks like I might need to head on up...

Today was my second trip to the creek and let me say it was a huge improvement from the previous trip on saturday. On saturday I only Landed one planter the entire day, yet today landed a few wild fish from 10-14 inches. I fished the bridge area and caught most of the fish on PT nymphs, WD40's, and san juan wo...
Well getting laid off from work means more time to fish right? Fished the staircase (very crossable with a staff) and landed 4 natives.? Moved up to the bridge and fished across from the campground for another native.? One fish landed on each--brassie, pt, glo-bug, black ap and caddis aka dubbing on a...
I just moved to the Bay Area from Montana and found this forum. I've been fly fishing for the past 8 years but it's always been dry flies and streamers. I'm really looking to getting out on Putah Creek in the next couple of weeks and seeing what the creek is about. If anybody has any advice on what flies to us...
There seems to be more and more misunderstandings here about peoples posts. We need to think about the proper "etiquette" in posting on this Forum. Proper etiquette to posting on this Forum should be the same as Email etiquette. Here is a great article to help us understand the problem and...
??????? Hello fellow Fly Fishers, My name is Jonathan Bole--a writer for SFSU's [X]Press Magazine, and I am writing an article about fly fishing Putah Creek. I am looking to capture a snapshot of the Putah Creek Fly Fishing culture; the fraternity, the code of ethics, the character, and the interest...
I will be at Putah Creek tomorrow early tomorrow morning. I'm hoping to hit the bridge at first light. Anyone else planning to be out there? I'll be the asian guy who probably doesn't know what he is doing. :P Say hi if you are not too shy!

??????????? In earnest to your concerns; I am a fisherman myself, and understand the importance of conservation--my article will not be an asinine endorsement for fishing Putah Creek. In fact, my primary focus is not the creek itself, but you, the fisherman. I want to explore the reasons why you all...
Looking for a?new?5wt. I hear the Sage Fli rod is being discontinued and from the previous posts sounds like the Fli tip flex has some problems. However, I don't know much about the Orvis TLS. Any input would be much appreciated.
I hear rumors that putah is most likely soon not gonna be stocked anymore.? They're trying to make it self substaining. I was wondering what would be the ups and downs of that.? To me it would seem that there would be less fish but the fish might be bigger because less copetition on there food.? but i would...
I'm new to the board and just wanted to say hello. I'm also heading up to the creek tomorrow to give it a shot. It's been awhile since I fished and don't know the creek that well so any help would be appreciated. I suppose a micro may would be a good fly to start with. Hope to see you guys out on the creek.
Hello all, I am just starting to get into Bamboo Rod Making and need a set of final planing forms. If you have some laying around and live in the SF bay area or close, I will come take off your hands for a reasonable price. Colin
