Similar to my last 2 October trips to Putah Creek, I caught lots of small fish 6-12 inches on small BWO patterns on surface and subsurface. This is most likely because I was fishing the surface to many rising fish. I suspect bigger fish are feeding deep as usual, and may be transitioning upstream to start spawning. I identified some spawning fish across and down from me. I'm hoping noone finds them, although their huge rises may give them away. I noticed no one parked at access 5. I'm assuming the lion has people spooked.
