Thanks you for mentioning this Kieth,another group that does a whole lot of good things for Putah is the Putah Creek Council.They are involved in habitat/riparian restoration;creation of salmon spawning areas erosion control and aquatic bio-monitoring(by the way is very educational for us flyfisherman who want to learn more about the aquatic life in Putah).Here's pleanty of opportunity to do something positive for our beloved Putah.If anyone out there is interested you can contact Dawn Calciano at 530-795-3006 or e-mail dawn@putahcreekcouncil.com.

Its a fun day..I hope a lot of you will make it out..the guys from sweeney and the fly club are very nice...( iam one of them) Everyone shares storys and talks about their secret fishing spot and good stuff like that..Most important your doing your part to clean up the little creek we all love...
I have attended these for the past few years and it's a great chance to meet people you only know from the board and to do something for the creek we all enjoy fishing. The date is usually a month earlier, but waiting until the regular fishing season ends seems like a good idea.
It might be nice if we could arrange to have the board members get together that day and put faces to names. I have met a number of the regular posters on the creek and fished with a few of you, but there are many I haven't met yet.
I'm in! My poor over worked, type "A" soul needs to redeem itself. Soccer and "honey-do's" can wait til Monday! Besides, I'll clean a little for an excuse to meet all the clowns who are catching all the fish!

hey just a thought to you bono, this would be a good opportunity to do the gathering of the troops on this forum that everyone was so excited about. and i think its on a saturday which works for almost everyone. i will try my hardest to talk to my boss and get it off. he is pretty cool about this stuff so cant see why he wont.
again just my 2 cents about the clean up day, i know deaddrift started this thread and a bunch of people really like the idea of everyone from this forum gettin together. even think chemdoc talked about doing it on a day with the annual clean up.
i think it would be a great idea, and being that its a saturday. if you read that thread it works for 99% of the fishers on this sit.
so everybody what do you think.
good idea ya or na

I will definitely be there. I am also a member of the Napa Valley Fly Fishers...good group of people and the guys at Sweeney's are the best. In fact Sweeney's usually donates many of the raffle prizes. I am also looking forward to matching some names to faces...I feel like we are one big happy family who just haven't met each other yet.
hey eric if you need to you can crash at my house the night before. i am hoping to talk to my boss and get friday and saturday off, fish all day friday like usual do a lil cleanin and greetin on saturday morning then back to fishing that evening. probably and even safe bet is crash my house thursday night, go fishing and only take on vehicle friday and then saturday just take seperate vehicles.

oh ya has anyone thought about the putah forum meet and greet for the saturday clean up, we had talked about it a while back, and seems like this clean up day would be the best day to do it.

WOW I really hope we get a good turn out of the members of this site,as Phil said earlier maybe this could be the opportunity for us all to finally meet.When we do these cleanups I will take the atv with a trailer and my kids and pick up trash from the backside of the creek from access 4 upstream to access 2.Looking forward to it.Bono
