Fished a few different area's of the creek today with not much luck, 3 hooked 1 landed, Lilwhippersnapper hooked like 8 fish I think. All my fish took #20 zebra midges. Used mostly a fox poopah and zebra midge rig. Theres plenty of fish there, Saw plenty of fish rising. Not sure what they were taking, I didn't see much insect activity but fish were still rising to something, Midges or Maybe something just under the surface. Also tried a few different size and colors elk hair caddis without any takes. If the flows would come up just a little the fishing would be much easier. Even with the rain there were still plenty of people out. I didn't notice anyone else having much luck either.
I stopped by #5 on Saturday to give it a shot only had a couple of hours to fish....should have turned back when I saw 5 cars parked along the road. There were aout 6 guys at the split and watched them a bit didnt see anyone get a bit. Drug a wooley bugger threw the back end of the island without any luck.
Then spent the rest of my time turning over rocks and looking for bugs....lots of snails and caddis cases but not much ells...didnt see any fish activity at all.....
Yeah WytEurp, I saw at least 5 cars along the road at #5 in the morning, I guess I got lucky and got that nice riffle at #4 to myself. There sure has been alot of people up ther the last few weeks. I don't know why, Putah creek dosen't have much of anything in it. I keep wondering why people even bother with it. Maybe I need to try an RS2, Been a little talk about that lately, Gee thanx for keepin the secret so long guys !
so el cappytan where you thinkin we gonna go in the am on saturday. pm me and let me know. think i am gonna cut down a few indicators too. mine are way to big
