Hi all, well after almost 7 years of not fishing Putah, ( too busy raising kids) I'm coming back. I cut my teeth on Putah in 1996, it took me years to figure it out. I hope it hasn't changed much, still little bugs (18 and 20) right? I've been watching the flows this week. I can't remember when I can start wading? Anyone have an opinion on a safe wadable flow, I can't stand being stuck on the side of the creek, I need room and so do you. I just read that Putah is now catch and release, has that helped the fishery? Still trash on the banks, both kinds. Poachers around more?
Yes still lots of trash not so many fish as they have quit stocking and the resort does not enforce the regs of no bait furthermore there is some presure from otters . I like to fish when the flows drop below 300 good luck I am always looking to meet new people to fish with so give me a holler some time and here is a pic so U can reconize me
Thanks Richard, sounds like i'm in for long day when I get a chance to get my feet wet again. Might be this Friday, I've always stayed away from the creek on weekends. Whats hatching in the morning and early afternoon? If I see ya, I'll come over and introduce myself.

I've personaly seen the guy that works at the resort that drives around in the golf cart enforcing the regulations on the resort side several times.
