You shoulda been here yesterday!
Met SST @ the Expo Saturday.
Told him we were very fortunate to have him on our message board.
He said he has been fishing Putah Creek.
High water flows for summer make wading more difficult.
He said there are lots of 12 inch wild trout and an occasional larger one.
My prediction is that in the next few years Putah Creek and Lake Solano will be a place to fish again.

I have fished the Putah near Clear Lake a few times but I know there are better access points. I don't know where to go though. I live in Yuba City, any chance someone can give me some directions to a good starting point or a good landmark I can gps?
I think that might be Cache Creek over near Clear Lake?
Putah Creek flows into and out of Lake Berryessa West of Winters, CA.

I was actually closer to Middleton? I think. There is a stream that flows under a small overpass near a gas station that I think was some part of the Putah.
I would say no (if near Clear Lake). Also, be weary of any streams in the area that are near the Geysers area (geothermal power plants). I worked in the area many years ago and was warned of the possibility of there being arsenic contamination in the streams. It may or may not be true today.
"For years, every time he stopped at the house to collect his paper money, it was the same routine. The old man in the wheelchair would ask him how he'd like it if he took him fishing and showed him a few things. He always said he'd like that.
When the old man finally passed away, his wife gave the kid a box of flies. He has them today, tucked away in a closet, never to be fished."
