So, got out the creek for the first time in a LONG time for me.  Been at least a few months.

But even still, I only fished for about 2 hours, and it was pretty disappointing.  Not a fish, not a whiff of a fish, not a strike, nothing.

Water was green, about 1 ft. visibility, tops.  I tried just about every combination I could think of and have had success with... dry dropper, PT, Prince, Caddis Pupa, Midge, Midge pupa, etc.

Nothing.  That's a rarity for me, but Putah humbles even it's long time fishermen.

I have ungodly amounts of work to do over the next several weeks, so I don't expect to get out much between now and then.  I've only checked the board a few times in the last month or two, which is also a rarity for me.  Looks like we've made some good progress with DFG which is outstanding.

The way things were going, I thought that the DFG was going to designate Putah a wild meth-head fishery with a communal land fill to go along with it.

Thanks for the report. It is always good to hear information regarding water clarity and visibility - especially during times when the weather has made a river high and/or muddy.

I feel like a steelheader wink

No pun intended, I think the Lower A is a waste of time.

A lot better fishing for steelhead in a 2 hour drive from my place in Chico.

The creek is defenitly off color, Its green and kinda milky, Somewhat like glacier runoff, I think it will clear quickly. It is fishable at this time, But not ideal conditions. Yellow eggs worked ok today.

Hey Wyatt:

As you can see, I'm not finding the time to post or fish!  But yes, I did move, and I am enjoying life in Rancho Solano (in Fairfield).

I've played golf a few times, fished once or twice and generally just worked so far this fall/winter.  Not ideal.  But, what can you do.  Got to pay the  bills.

Be safe out there!  (Wyatt is a police officer)
