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...

Fished the eastern sierra for the first time last weekend, and absolutely loved it. Started out on Hot creek on Saturday morning with a guide, which was very useful since that stream is technical as hell, especially this time of year (Weeds start growing in the water in the late summer).? There are an i...
I made it up to the creek for a couple of hours this afternoon.? The flows were in the low 500's.? I fished the hottest part of the day, thinking that I was wasting my time.? I was glad I left the waders at home.? The water felt great.? I hadn't fished Putah in a few months, but the creek didn't disappoint toda...
Floated the Middle Fork this weekend with a bunch of friends.? Didn't catch one fish.? It was a ton of fun even though I didn't have a fishing pole.? We were carrying super soakers and blasting away.? I did spot a big fish in the clear water.? The guides were saying there are monster fish in the area betwee...
I'm afraid I have been out of the Putah loop for a while.? I only made it over once this summer, instead making trips to the Sierras.? I thought I might post some pictures of some recent excursions. I?got out several times this past month to fish small higher elevation streams on dries, and finally reali...
Truckee River The flows on the Truckee remain about the same as they have all season. The only changes is that they are a little lower near Truckee but pick back up below Boca. Fishing has remained decent all summer. Over the next few weeks the river should go red hot. With water conditions being as good a...
Hello: I'm new to the board, but I've been fishing Putah on and off for about a year now. I've actually met some of you guys on the creek and am thankful for the advice as I am pretty new to fly fishing. I've got a question. I've been filling out the angler survey pretty regularly lately. However, I realized...
