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...

Does anyone else have a problem with the reel seats coming loose or coming completely off on flyrods ? Its happened to 3 different rods just in the past 5 months or so. Its easily fixed but a bit annoying. starting to wonder if its something I am doing wrong.
Went to the creek this AM with friends MX19 and Angryincher.? Had? the best day on Putah so far, however this is probably only about the 5th time total that?I've been.?Finally got rid of the skunk smell.? Got to the creek about 0730 and had the 1st fish shortly after fished all over #5.? One section of cre...
I'm heading back up to Tahoe the first weekend of September and I want to try something new.? I was floating around last weekend around Baldwin Beach and saw quite a few fish swimming around about 10-20' down.? Lately I have been pounding the E. Carson and I'm ready for something a little different.? I'...

Hi everyone, new to fly fishing and heading out to Putah Creek on Sunday for my first day of actually fishing. I've fished (not avidly) for many years and always wanted to learn what I consider the 'purest' form of fishing. On a recent trip to a non fishing lake I bought a $29 blister pack to learn how to cas...
The Creek is running at 550cfs, I have never fished the creek before, but heard it doesn't fish that well untill around 300cfs. Is this true? Will I be able to use dry flies? Any info would help.

I'm new to flyfishing but used to fish with bait on putah creek (i've taken a 20 year break), particularly what we used to call the island. I've have a couple of basic questions. Is it necessary to wade or can I be reasonably successful from the bank? Is the entire length good or just up by the dam?? The area...
We worked the third shift of the DFG fish rescue today from 6 till 2. Over a thousand fish were electroshocked last night and were then placed in holding pens. The average size of the fish we saw were ten to twelve inches most were rainbows some browns.The larger fish were mostly browns , twenty to twenty...
Well, I didn't kill it, but got some good numbers. Last few times out have been pretty slow, but like MX-19, I decided to redicate myself to technique, quit being lazy, and really focus on fooling the fish. Somehow, that paid off. I fished five ways. Dry dropper (no luck, but man did I have some nice drift...
I have not been out to the creek in a few weeks...My wife and I have been busy enjoying our little boy who was born on my birthday earlier this month..
I had a few hours to kill around mid day.. So I made my way up to the creek.Not going to say what stretch or water I visited today ,but I will tell you that my good...
Can someone tell me the limit regs for putah (no..no..no.. not because I want to keep fish, I am strictly catch and release) but because I have been to putah and sometimes seen bait fisherman walking out with a stringer full of fish the size that I know they are over their limit .? It pisses me off and I woul...

My family is looking for locations for up to 20 people to spend a week together each summer. House keeping cabins on a lake preferred, but nearby access to water OK. Units sleeping 4-5 each optimal. Within 150 miles of Sacramento best. Any suggestions are most appreciated.
