Thanks for the post and comments. The regulation signage was put up by Putah Creek Trout at major access points. The potential problem with putting more signs up is it requires permission, for most areas, from Yolo County Parks; others may require input from DFG. One concern is that a large number of signs will detract from the aesthetic of the creek. With the vandalism that has already occurred to some of the signs, even replacement signs are an expensive proposition. Yolo County is starting construction on a multi use trail from Access#4 all the way to access#1. Parts of it will be fully handicapped/disabled accessible. Interpretive kiosks will line the trail. These may be potential future sites for additional signs.

You could google Yolo County Parks and contact them with your idea. Also, stay tuned to this forum for information on volunteering

A multiuse trail from #4 to #1, You have got to be freaking kidding me !

What moron came up with that idea ? They did away with access 2 and part of access 1 I thought maybe the creek was moving in the right direction but obviously not !

Hey thanks Neil for recognizing the regulation postings on the creek. It actually has taken quite a bit of work with DFG and several of the county agencies to even be allowed to post the DFG regulations. Not to mention a very generous donation from one of the members of Putah Creek Trout.

If you would like to have some input and provide some help on the creek, please join Putah Creek Trout. We are looking for dedicated people to donate their time to improve the fishery. The trail system was introduced last year. As most of you know the bushes grow back faster when you trim them back!!! It has been part of a county program, not Putah Creek Trout. I actually like the part that they are providing ramps that provide access to those who would not normally be able to.

If any of you would like to help with other projects send me a PM, and I can put you to work on helping with the Creek. There are some very interesting and fun projects coming up in October.

I think that would be nice to get involved with next time I see you on the creek otter maybe you can give me some info on what exactly you all do and plan to do, i have alot of free time, probably more then most. Just wanted to add I am by no means against having access area's were a disabled person or an older person can access the creek and enjoy it, someday i'll be in those shoes and hacking my way through putah brush isn't gonna be an option someday. It is tough going on the far side of the creek right now, it is seriously overgrown. But I also feel most of the creek should be kept in as a natural state as possible.

I hear you on the trail system, but the bobcats can only make it so far. I think much of the trail system will have to be cut back by hand. This has usually been done by fishermen in past years. Maybe it will cut down on people getting poison oak. Thanks for saying you can help. We need people to communicate with our local government.
