Putah Creek Fly Fishing

Psyfisher · Psyfisher

I'm a catch and release purist from Minnesota who will be in the bay area, and am looking to put some line on water in Putah Creek. I promise to be respectful of your local waters, and was wondering if any of you could offer me a bit of advice on Putah creek. I've been going over the Forums and can get a general...

Who here has a membership to them? I want to find some fishing buddies to meet with next time I go camping there. I am only 17 and just getting into flyfishing. Loving it so far. Coming from pretty much only bass fishing, this is a challenge. Caught me some pigs from a local lake 5 minutes from me. Caught off...

I ran into a situation today on the creek that raised a question of proper fly fishing etiquette, and I am interested on hearing your thoughts. I went out for a couple of hours at dawn to fish a spot I like, a fairly small hole about 30 feet across.? I like it because dries will usually catch a few fish there,...

Brian: in honor of your Amador Trip, I have attached a picture of a fly that is deadly on Amador cut/bows. If you name the fly-no help please-I will send you these 4, which are the last of my collection.

I arrived at putah at 6 a.m made it to one of my favorite spots by flashlight, Had to wait a bit to fish due to darkness. Started out a little slow, Fish were rising all over. I started using midges and the fish wanted nothing to do with em today. After awhile of trying every midge i have, and several other pat...

I'm on a minimalist kick and replaced my vest with a Fishpond San Juan chest pack that?I really like. I asked the vendor who sold me the vest where I hook on my net and he didn't really have an answer, other than to say he doesn't use a net. Instead he "tails 'em." By that he meant that he brings the...

Arrived to the creek this morning at 7.00am. After seeing what Brian landed a few days ago I began to understand what the term "Putah Hog" really meant. Clearly the fish I have been managing to bring in were not in the Hog Class, fine fish, but I needed some work. So,today was a school day on the...

I went out on the creek today and fished in the rain.? Along with a few other brave souls.? I avoided the spawners and concentrated on the really fast water and caught lots of fish.
