View Full Version : Putah 10/4
Fished just below the 128 bridge from 9am - 11am.
Landed 3 from 10" to 15".
Lost an absolute monster, I would guess 5lb + to a poorly tied knot. ](*,)
Two fish took a yellow egg and the other two a size 22 red midge.
Water is still high but fishable.
Good luck if you go!

Katz, I'll take those 3 plus a monster for 2 hours of fishing any ol' day. Sounds like you had a blast! 8)
Yeah, Putah can be a great location for size and quantity if you get it all right.
Right Time/Right Fly/Down deep/etc/etc.
It gets really good in November as they come up to spawn and is FF only.

Katz...What patterns do you recommend for winter Putah flying?
Thanks.

I agree, November is the best time. Less trash and way fewer knuckelheads on the water. I would be nice if that date was October 15 instead of later. That would help the brown population a lot. Evening dry fiy fishing should be good soon as well. I'll be up there next week! Paul
Too True. Oct 15th close to bait etc. would be great.
I have been in that gas station at Solano Lake bridge and there are pics of 10lb + browns on stringers.
There is a real hook-em and cook-em attitude about the fish in there. Worm fisherman really hurt the brown # while they are spawnning in October. :cry:
Hope to catch you out there soon.

Fly patter recommendation for the winter.
Yellow egg. The rainbows have yellow eggs the color of this guy :)
If fishing two flies, I will use a yellow egg or San Juan Worm in front of
Either a size 20-22 blood midge (red) or a size 20-22 olive midge in back.
This combo usually works very well.
Stay deep. Should be picking moss off the flies every few casts.
Good luck.
