I saw a salmonfly nymphal shuck at the Highway 20 bridge on the Yuba last year. The next week this beast landed on my rod around Sycamore Ranch.

My go-to fly on Putah and the LT is a #24 midge. You'd be surprised at the fish that will hit it. You should read Fish Food by Ralph Cutter. In one part he talks about how well fish can actually...

Those would work good on Putah.

I have been pretty busy the past few months. I was spoiled being able to fish at least once a week for the last year or so. Even when I was going to school, I could sneak out weekly and get a...

The regulation change proposed by Putah Creek Trout was for zero limit and artificial lures with barbless hooks year round. It is my understanding that this is what has passed.

The regulations have been changed to catch and release year round, but the creek has not yet been designated as a wild trout fishery. That is in the works, though.

It passed! The regulations on Putah Creek have just been changed to catch and release fishing with artificial lures and barbless hooks year round.

I landed a brown in the Lower American about a month ago. At first I thought it was a squawfish because of the color. It was just shy of 20" long.

I've kayaked through there and caught quite a few small bass and tons of bluegill. You shouldn't have any problems getting back there with a pram.

I'm sure the wardens would love that, especially with the spawn going on.

I fished the Truckee a couple of weeks ago after riding the fresh powder all morning at Boreal. I picked up a 15" rainbow on a San Juan worm and a 19" brown on a golden stone nymph.

I floated it last week in my pontoon boat. There is $5 fee to park at Sycamore Ranch, but you can park right on the river (side channel). After you see the sign on the river for Hammon Grove park,...

A pegged bead.

Another option is to hang the net by the bow instead of the handle. You can also go Landon Mayer style by holding your net between your back and your lumbar pack.

I agree that you have to work more for your fish right now on Putah, but the fish are there.

Thank you Darian for posting that.

I would like to thank all those who have served and who are currently serving in the armed forces. Thank you for all of your sacrifice and service. I don't...

Wow, I'm glad your post is teaching me how to be intelligent.

For future reference, it is best not to put your finger anywhere near a fish's gills. If you touch the gills, it may not immediately harm the fish. It might swim off and appear fine, but later it...

I fished Putah Creek today. I landed around 15 fish, the largest being 19". All but 2 fish took a #20 brown mayfly nymph. The other 2 took a #16 olive caddis pupa. There was a decent bwo hatch...

Patagonia waders are made in China.

I did something like that in English class once. I knocked myself right out of my chair.

White-tailed kite.

Fowler's Camp on the Upper McCloud isn't too far from the Lower McCloud, and it's about 40 minutes from the Pit.

My guess is a Tui Chub. There a few in Silver Lake as well as Caples Lake.
