bro you have only seen the tip of the ice burg, there are many many places above 5 to fish. from 5 up to the damn, its like 4 miles worth. not all of it is great fishin but there are many great spots. as far as what is legal and not. after nov 15th its lures and flies with no barbs and no bait, what gear you use doesnt matter.

dont worry digger0038 it will all come in due time. if you get the chance try to hook up with a veteran member on here and fish with him or HER. you will learn a lot faster than just fishing on your own. putah is a world of its own, a class above all others. atleast in this area. what works on other streams doesnt always work on putah. but if you can master putah, you can fish anywhere. i was lucky enough to meet jt on my first day. he is indoors now with his new baby but he knows this creek very well. the captain my personal fishin buddy, knows this place by heart, he used to bait fish it then moved to flies. i fish with him as much as our schedule allows and always get into fish. i also had the opportunity to fish with jt, matt r, flygirl1 whos cookies are the bomb, lilwhippersnapper, sorry if i am leaving anyone else out, oh ya lahontan (your gettin there bud) and emerger. all great guys and gal, and know the water well. i am still new to this stream and board first time ever fishin putah was aug 5th, but i cant complain when i fish it. i have had my skunk days but then other days have been absolutley great.

dont know what your schedule is for tomorrow but ill be on the creek crack o dawn. i will be joined by sk60 around 8-9 or so, but you are more than welcome to join me if you would like. i always like to help those that are just starting out fly fishing especially fly fishing putah. well let me know. ill pm you my number.

Ohhhh I wish I would have had a chance to check the message board sooner. I would have loved to go out with you guys. I guess I will have to wait till next time. I think me and my buddy may give it another go the week after next. I have most days free I may even be able to sneak in a few hours one moring during the week. Anyway I will keep trying and hopefully I will see some of you out there one of these days.

Oh great, Now he's goin around showing people my spots ! HaHa. Still have a few I've showed nobody. Just playin with ya Brian. Maybe it's time to take a machetti and a saw down there and make some new honey holes !

It's all in the name of fun sk60. Brians alot of fun to fish with.

And a gentleman-he picked my a** up out of some of that dust now converted to mud along the banks and slopes after a spill AND used his extended height to pluck my fly from an overhanging berry bramble in water too deep for my short legs to wade into.
