Well it has not been as good as some other years, but the fish are still out there. The golden brown poopah and the red brassie seem to always bring in a few fish. There is some guy out there that swears by that new fly the "two bit hooker". Tons of small black midges as well.

Hit the creek from about 4:45pm-6:45pm. Flows are getting up to their summer numbers. Water is not as clear as I thought it should be. Hooked up a big brute but couldn't land him. Story of the afternoon is beware of snakes! Saw one crossing the road, looked like a 4-5 foot rattler couldn't get a poss...

There is a hatch of Little Yellow Stones on the creek. Most enter the main creek from feeder creeks... It is one of the few times during the year you can actually get fish to hit a pretty big dry fly on Putah . There is also a pretty good hatch of caddis in the riffles. Here is a link to the little yellow st...

I was out last week and I saw some guys fishing with sin rods, so I watched to see if they were using bait. It looked like they were using artificial eggs, but the rubber powerbait type not a yarn type. Is it legal to use rubber bait? What if it has a scent? I took a photo of the truck with the license plate showi...

Just wondering if anyone ever fishes Putah Creek that feeds Berryessa? I haven't ever been up there to see it for myself but I figured kokenee probably run up there to spawn and possibly a few rainbows. I think I am going to go check it out this week depending on the weather. Any info would be great.

Fished in rain yesterday; vis is very low and fish are hiding. Saw one fish about 10" hit my 3/4" thingamobober, so I switched to egg pattern. No fish caught between me and my brother. If you do fish Putah careful of the skunks...they are everywhere.

Did anyone fish in the rain today? Is the water fishable? I think fishable is 18" vis or more. Thanks, -PF

A survey being conducted on the creek by DFG and PCT indicates the spawn is about over. But that does not mean its safe to wade in the tailouts and other redd areas. After fertilization, the eggs are at risk to crushing boot treads for 45-50 days afterward. That means its another month, until April, befo...

Not much to say, went to putah today and fished from from noon til dark. No fish, no takes. this makes 3 goose eggs in a row at putah and one at AR. Next week I think I'll go to the stanislaus, its usually a good slump breaker.

Anyone going to the film tour stop in Sac on the 7th? If you haven't been to one in the past I would suggest checking it out. Pretty cool films from all over. Who knows maybe one day we can put together a little short about Putah.

Ive been watching the flows for sometime now, and they have been fluctuating between 120 and 65. I know there are no more salmon coming up the rivers, so what is the reasoning behind the 2 days at 120 then 2 days at 65, then back up again. Its been doing this since Jan 8th.

Its worth repeating that the whole length of the creek from Monticello Dam to the tip of the island below Access 5 is where the special regs (year around barbless, artificials only, take) are in effect.
