Fished Putah on Monday. Pulled up to one of the lower pullouts (stoked no cars there). Me and my buddy start wadering up, rigging up, blah, blah. And all of a sudden this young angler(hat to the side yo boy style) screeches into the pullout (dust flying) and runs down to the water to scope it out. He has his waders on already. It appears that he has never fished this spot by the water he is scopping out. He then runs back to his car and grabs his rod. Well the italian kicks in and I approach the angler and we exchange words. I explain that it is poor form to snake other anlers who are about to fish a spot. He says something about there being enough room for all of us. On this particular bucket it is not the case. The angler put his rod back in the car after a few "its cool dude, its cool" and takes off blaring his horn.(scary!!!!)
If he would of said "Hi" or "Where are you planning on fishing?" this whole thing could of been avoided. I felt like poo and it really bummed the session.
We did stick some fish on micro caddis and midges. One landed over 20".
I have been fishing Putah for 12 years. I have never parked in a spot where there was another car. I don't fish it on weekends because of stuff like this.
