Just watched On The Rise last nite on Outdoor channel. It was a pretty good show about the McCloud and the efforts to preserve the fishery and keep Nestle out. It's amazing how dirty and sneaky these companies can be. I must say, the residents up there put up a hell of a fight to keep them out, and I hope they...

Duck season is over.? I fished the creek for the first time this year today.? It was relatively slow in the bridge area.? I took several nice fish to hand in about 4 hours total.?

I've been an east coast small stream fly fisher for years and want to get back into fly fishing after having moved to the SfFBay area a few years ago. I thought I'd like to try surf casting for Surf perch, around the Santa Cruz, Monterey areas. What's the time of year when these are catchable? thanks!

We know a large number of people are out there fishing on the Creek, so this is a reminder to complete the forms, either at the boxes at Access 5 or at the dam (both lots) or online. Please remember to complete one ea...

Just moved to the area from Mississippi. Did most of my fishing on the White River system in Arkansas (Little Red, Norfork, White). Decided to give Putah a try. You guys have a real gem. I hooked 4 about the size of the one below but was only able to land this beauty.? See you on the water.
