It was pretty good at Putah Creek yesterday, but only for small to medium size fish (at least for me). Flows were down so some of the goods spots were accessible. There was a mediocre mayfly hatch around 2 pm, but not much else. I landed 13, had 18 or so on and probably around 8 more missed takes. Most w...

I want to thank the 15 volunteers, more than half of that number from this board, for spending their Saturday morning picking up the refuse from the bridge parking lots down to fish access five. We collected 34 bags of recyclables and trash-at least 175 pounds worth, had a nice lunch, and then some went...

While walking the Creek on Wednesday, I found a pair of oars that someone had brought up from the Creek and left in the trail at fishing access 5. These are high-end oars and worth some bucks. If you know anyone who might have lost them during a high flows spill, please have them e-mail me to identify and r...

This post is NOT meant to attack anyone or point blame...Simply consider: After reading many threads discouraging hotspotting on Putah Creek (The Good, the Bad, the Dumb and Dumber), I am bewildered why forum members post pictures and provide locations of other fly fishers' home waters (Big Fi...

90% chance I'll be at the creek tomorrow. Went last month for the first time in 7 years, got skunked, flows at 500 then. Just a little hint on color or type of flies would be much appreciated. Hope to see someone out there. If I do catch anything I'll make sure to fill out the survey, I didn't last month b...

Help! There have been very few sign ups for the cleanup next Saturday. Since the fishing is so good right now, sign up, clean up, and go fishing afterwards. I'll even have some free PCT T-shirts and caps for those helping out. Info below. Again this year PCT is sponsoring the interdam reach for a CCC cle...

One of the reasons I go fly fishing is to unwind. believe it or not Napa can be quite noisy . Well sunday while i was fishing at the bridge I hear this loud exploision followed By the screams of a small child . Not just a little screaming but on and on . a minute later more booms . and then it dawned on me the...

I took my kayak for a paddle along access #1 today. One little guy liked my #20 black midge... A bit of success goes a long way... It's good to see young of the year in the water. And yes, I filled out the survey! BTW will answering -2 on the surveys get us more resources? Just wondering.

Thanks to SK60 and other members willing to provide some wisdom, I had MY best day on the Putah EVER yesterday. So much so I got in trouble with the wife for staying too long! While my expereince pales in comparison to the descriptions of the past, I feel less discouraged than my prior outings. My first d...

This was my first time fishing in the summer at Putah. All the usual hot spots were under water so much of my time was spent hunting for fishable places. It was frustrating in general as many of the obvious "fishy" runs were inaccessable. I hooked 5 and landed 1 small fish. Had another 3 gra...

Took the old lady out camping this weekend. I saw a fish chasing damsel fies but not too sure what it was. We rented a canoe and took it up stream. I saw a pod of fish that were roughly 5lb average. I thought it was large trout but might have been squaw fish. I didnt't see ANYTHING else from the fork down to the b...

Cabin fever had me at my wits end yesterday and decided to hit putah late morninig today. Turned out to be a good day out there. I just realized I have only fished putah twice this summer. Picked up a couple Putah bullets and had some fun. My question is this....the 1st fish had these weird lesions or m...

Hi all, I'm returing to fly fishing after an extended absesnce (I have my wife's permission) and it looks like Putah Creek is the closest fishery to my home in the East Bay. I'm off to the store this weekend to drop a small fortune on gear, and any advice on what I should buy would be appreciated, but mostl...

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...

Our friend, African Angler, also known Alastair, will be leaving us for an undetermined length of time to make wine in Spain. Those of us who know Alastair have enjoyed working with him on numerous Putah Creek Trout projects, fishing various waters, and drinking his very special wines. His generosi...

Got out to the creek for a few hours yesterday, hooked two, one nice out of the water leap, landed none. The creek is pretty darn difficult to fish right now. Saw the inflatable Kayaks caught up in debris above 3. Also spent hours drying out my Iphone, it was real easy to get up to my armpits in water that typ...

I am in town next Friday with a fishing window of about 1-2 hours, assuming sundown at 8:30. Got interested in PC from a reference in Tim Palmer's Rivers of California. Have read many of the posts on this site and PCT; interesting, but looks like the fishery is still trying to come back with spotty fis...

If you are looking for four Lagoon inflatable kayaks, they are scattered along about a mile of the creek, starting about a mile below the bridge. Two are in the pool below a rapid, one with a life vest in it. Paddles are also scattered below this point-only saw two of those....Hope this helps somehow......

Not sure if this is a callibeates blown from the lake or a spent pmd? -- Edited by Cole Davis on Thursday 30th of June 2011 07:36:59 PM
