Went to the creek this AM with friends MX19 and Angryincher. Had the best day on Putah so far, however this is probably only about the 5th time total that I've been. Finally got rid of the skunk smell. Got to the creek about 0730 and had the 1st fish shortly after fished all over #5. One section of creek produce about 20 fish between the 3 of us. All 8"-10" range with the largest being 12". Fish were mostly caught on mm and copper john's. Off the water by noon. Good time fishing with friends. And MX, I would have pulled you out...eventually!!!!! HAHAHA
Fished a pretty normal, but quick loop through #5..most of the fish were in there usual hide outs..micro mays are still working well ,but were out fished by a #18 blk and silver zebra midge and a #16 red copper john...Water is still a little colored ....used between 5 to 7 ft of leader to the first fly most of the day..A few areas needed an extra foot and some we should of used less than 5ft...Split shot was a AAA in the deeper faster spots and a #1 every else where.. What a difference in comparison to the color and girth of the fish I caught today versus the ones I caught up stream last week...Up stream they are super fat and have darker spots... Had a good time fishing with a couple of my good friends even if it was combat fishing at times.. "Fish snatchers" Yes , you could say my waders were just as wet on the inside as the outside no thanks to my extra slow friend.... good times mx19
