I just noticed that Cabela's fly catalog advertises a William Joseph product called the "Mosquito Annoyer" for $9.95. Its supposed to repel these pesky pests by emitting a sound that mimics that of the male on the hunt for you know what. But she's pregnant and has no interest so she flies aw...
MX - you may have been in there a month, but you didn't do a good job of tiring the fish out.? In 2 hours or so, I just killed it today. All fat natives today.? 13-15 inches average.? Nothing bigger than that - but man are those fish zippy.? Couple I hooked did 360s around me hopping out of the water the whole ti...
The fish were hungery today... had about 20 grabs.?12 came unbuttoned and 8 to hand. all about 8 to 12 inches.? You could see them stacked up in pods of 6 to 8 even saw one monster which almost looked like a salmon.? He was scarred up and as long as my arm but didnt rise once or even look at my flys. PT's as Princ...
It was second day on putah. I got to the bridge at around 8:00 and it was pretty packed. I managed to land a few stockers, but then i moved down stream to see if i could catch some wild fish. there i fished some deep pools and caught about 8 fish in a couple hours, all wild 8-12 in. Then i moved down to the split wh...
It seemed to me that last year about this time there was a huge dragon fly hatch....if you have dragon fly nymph patern it might be a good time to try it out....
Fished the creek on Saturday and hooked 4 with none to hand...little too much horsing around. They seem to still like micro mays, zebras, red copper johns, and my JW creations. Not bad for a couple hours of work. JW.
Hi everyone, finally made it up to Putah for a few hours on Sun morning and had a great time - no fish but learned a lot! Stopped at #5 first and after looking at the water talked with a couple of guys 'also on their first time time?on the creek'?who like 'FlyFishingJunkie',?suggested that up by the bridge...
Got out about 3:30 PM and tight lined my way up and around the split.? Landed a few fish, but all small. Switched to indicator nymphing with a prince nymph and red copper john and hooked two nice fish right away. Moved on and had no luck for about 30 minutes, then went up stream toward number 4, nymphing the...
Like MX19 yesterday, went to the creek with a friend at Midday today. Was slow, although we both lost a few small (first year) fish using bead head may fly patterns. As we were about to leave, Mike caught a 5" brown trout with nice bright red spots-the first juvenile I've ever seen on the creek. We we...
Last Saturday I began my 5-week fly fishing road trip. I'm beginning in British Columbia and then Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Home. My first stop was Castlegar, British Columbia where I fished the Columbia River with Chris Dawson of Dave Brown Outfitters. We fished two different sections of the Col...
With all the talk of you guys hitting up the Big T soon, here's an effective crayfish pattern for the Truckee that I'd like to share.? It's?Tim Haddon's Dead Drift Crayfish.? Andy Burk turned me onto this fly a few years back.? I always keep a few on my Truckee River chest pack insert. The two videos are fr...
Fished the creek today from about 2:30 to 4:00. My buddy and I fished a hole just downstream of the bridge for the most part. No kidding between the two of us we landed?20 fish. I thew a caddisfly nymph about 2 feet under a dry caddis which I used as an indicator. Every fouth cast we had a fish on. What a day. A c...
Last May, I accidentally grabbed my backup pair of waders and went shad fishing in the American River.? I waded deeper than I normally would wade.? I noticed a slow leak on my left side above my waist line.? The location of the leak was in a non-critical area, so I didn't think much of it. Last week, I final...
This weekend Oneweight hosted a trip to the Little Truckee and Big Truckee. He was nice enough to open his Tahoe home to a few guests for the weekend. Fishing with Oneweight were Packrat, Brian Clemens, Shon42073 and Matt R. We met at the house about 10:00 Friday morning and hit the Little T. We all fishe...
Hey Putah Anglers - Wanted to drop a line and say hello. I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy out on the Upper Sac, Pit, and NF Feather Rivers. Fishing has been great and we're in a for another great year of fishing in Northern California. I have also been getting a lot of use out of my 3 wt on small loca...
Summer was great fishing for me. I was able to get several new fly fishers into their first fish on the fly, a very cool experience.? School has started and I'm taking 18 units. I am looking forward to a great Isonychia hatch on the Pit and North Fork Feather River. I was able to convince a few trout to eat my...
I, like most fly fisherman, practice catch and release fishing.? I've never kept/eaten a fish I've caught, even when DFW regs allow it. Are there times that any of you keep and eat what you catch?? I've heard some people say that they find it irresponsible to release hatchery fish, as they'll muck up th...
I thought I had recently read something saying that Alaskan's recently rejected a bill which would have rejected the proposed pebble mine project, however I now cannot seem to find it.? Did anyone else hear this?? Or does anyone else have an update on the situation??
Hi Gang, I've not posted in a while ... simply not had time to get out. But, I am seriously thinking about getting a float tube. Kind of excited about it!? Any advice on brand? Approach to learning? Safety?? (I plan to wear some sort of appropriate floatation device... I am a pretty strong swimmer, but no...
Well I'll admit I am a bit embarrassed to ask this question, but hell that's what the board is for, right?? Anyways I was out fishing the lower american last night and I was having a hell of a time getting my leech patterns tied with rabbit strips to sink, and I was having a hard time getting a few of my all mar...
Any of you guys gonna be on the creek tomorrow? I'll be out there all day.? This will by me 2nd time fishing Putah, last time I went (back in June) I got skunked, but that was only my 3rd time ever fly fishing, and I've learned tons since, so hopefully I'll get into some fish this time. I'm driving a white 4run...
Hey guys,

Anyway i fished putah over the three day weekend for the first time and didn't do so bad. I didn't land anything huge but a few in the 10-15 in range and almost a dozen between 3-7 i...
