Been a while since I fished the creek.? Can't even remember the last time, actually.? Been busy with work, family, other hobbies, etc.? Got the bug a few weeks ago and offered to take a colleague out and give him a 'guided' trip on Putah.? We fished between 3 and the bridge (different spots) and although...

I rather imaging a boost like this would mess things up for a few days even if it's not an unfishable flow. Any info? Thanks, Peter T

This hurts to have to do but the cash flow is getting tight, to much fishing this summer ! I have a Ruger M77 mark II rifle chambered in .243 win. with a 3 by 9 scope, nice sling, and soft case. This rifle is perfect for the upcoming deer season. It is in like new condition, no scratches, only fired a few times....

Putah Creek Trout has put together a flyer promoting the organization and it's goals.? Cliff Scorso (Emerger) put together the flyer and got it produced.? It is a first class flyer to say the least.? Cliff must be thanked for the work and efforts he put into this brochure.? It was distributed at The Fly...

I am considering selling a putah creek sampler assortment of flies to be available from this site. Maybe 12ea flies of patterns that are working for me,subject to change depending on the success of the flies. I just thought doing this might generate some income to help offset the cost of running this s...

Not much to report.? The Yuba is still very muddy.? Clarity is only improved about 6" from last Sunday.? One fish to hand on about the 10th cast, a beefy 11"ish fish, then 9 hours of physical training- humping the river, casting, changing rigs, etc. I was talking with the DF&G fish censu...

Ha ha got all of you!? Going soon will not let you know how it is.? Wed or thurs should be good

Well, after rather futile morning on the yuba on tuesday (as it is still pretty dirty), i decided to change tactics and go bass fish. ?I went to a nearby lake and managed to do pretty well in a couple hours, about 5 to hand. ?All takes were extremely aggressive, it seems like the fish are already in the pre-...

Any info on fishing the headwaters of putah?? I drove past the creek near Middletown last week, of course it was flowing big and merky do to the rain.? Just wondering if it were worth exploration, perhaps closer to the lake.

I went today on Friday and loved it... What are all of your stories about the show? -- Edited by Coffeen at 03:19, 2009-02-28

I've posted a scan of the Putah Creek Trout flyer that is out under the Putah Creek Trout sticky.? Take a look at it!! Bob

Yuba is pretty muddy, probably 1 foot vis, towards marysville the water is a litter less murky but still pretty off color. ?Up top is pretty bad. ?Plenty of bugs out and about, but they were spared by the trout today, ?just too muddy. ?Give it a couple days. -- Edited by drifter at 18:20, 2009-03-08

Forum Members: PCT needs help for a daily report on water clarity of the Creek for the rest of March. If you visit the creek and can do a brief post afterwards under this topic, that will be much appreciated. We are especially interested in how deep you can see into the water as we need 18"-24" o...

Not a big one but it works for me. You won't see me put a split shot any further up the line than 4 inches from the point fly. It tangles less and the fish are not bothered by it at all. I don't false cast very much but when you need to it makes it less likely to knot up.

I?am beginning tp lan a Truckee run for 2009.? I was thinking of the weekend of June 19, 20,21.? This will be prime fishing time in the Truckee area.? Assuming Rich, Shawn and Brian want to go once again, there is room for another 4-5 people who would like to go.? The house has plenty of room.? If someone el...

I am looking for some recommendations/guidance on a fly rod for bass fishing. I am thinking a 6- or 7-weight rod, 9' to 9'6" in length, with a fast/medium-fast action.? I would be primarily bank fishing small reservoirs.? I will likely be purchasing a used rod so I would older or out of production...

Hi,? I am looking for opinions.? I am of the opinion that Putah is NOT what it was ten or 15 years ago and I am also of the opinion that it will continue to decline in the future.? I do not see easy solutions to too low flows in winter and excessive pressure and mud snails.? I think this fishery is one in decline...

im thinking of hitting the creek this weekend. just seeing if anyone has been up there and caught anything since the rain? -- Edited by live2fish888 at 21:14, 2009-03-05

Anyone been to the creek lately ? Hows the water clarity ? I'm itchin to get out somewhere this weekend. Haven't wet a line in over a week ! -- Edited by shon42073 at 18:06, 2009-03-05

I was curious if anyone has ever fished Cache Creek.? I recall reading several years ago that there were some posts about?trout fishing above Indian Valley Reservoir on Cache Creek?????? I've never fished it myself.? I also recall a Cal FLy Fisher article on it about 4 years ago, but there is no librar...

I am a proponent of indicator nymphing.? Who/what started this undercurrent of hatred for indicators?? ?Now then I agree there is a time for one and a time not to use one.? I have talked to folks that seem to think using an indicator is not flyfishing.? I just don't know where this type of thought origina...
