Fishing in early morning

You might want to stop at a shop in San Francisco before coming up to the creek.� There aren't any shops really close to Putah.�

I think "Pardesha's Market", the little tiny store on the road to Putah Creek still sells the flies that Bono ties.

any very early morning fishing experience on the Putah?

i've been trying my luck at putah several times so far. 3 weeks ago i hit it up early in the morning when the flow was still high. the bait people were scoring on the planters.

all i can say is that it is difficult to wade in unfamiliar waters in the dark/shade of the early morning. but since the flows are lower now, it should be safer.

its slow, and as jl put it and i have confirmed it bigger flies in the morning work very well but still very slow.

It may be a little bit out of you're way but Sweeny's in Napa is a great little fly shop if you're coming from the bay area,they also carry alot of hunting and outdoor gear.

If you find yourself in a pinch sometimes the guy at the RV store has leaders and a little bit of tippet.� I was so stoked to find this out one day when I busted my only leader.�

The little store at the bridge sells some flies...And if you're going through Winters, there's the Berryessa sporting goods and mini mart, they sell flies and all the fly fisherman's needs.
