Looking for information about how to Fly Fish it? bhtiek, if you look real close at the first photo - you can pretty much figure out where I caught this beauty on Putah. Here are some links . . . Putah Creek Fish: http://homepage.mac.com/mkrasser/PhotoAlbum6.html Guide: http://markpinto.tripod.com/ Water Levels: http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/q...8&span=12hours I had fished "The Creek" 4 times by myself with out any luck, so I hired Mark Pinto for a day. The flows were running around 370 cfs and you really need to watch the CFS. The life of this creek is controlled by the Lake Berryessa Dam - and the flows are controlled by agribusiness. If the flows are too high, you cannot wade across to the far side and the fish are not too cooperative. Late fall and winter is the best - Putah does not have a closed FF season. Tight line, Small, Small, Small nymphing is the key. Mark had me high sticking it through a run up to 30 times - the fish are there he said. And he was right [was sore after that]. This is a mid day fishery - Mark said we would not catch anything until 1 pm . . . first fish came at 12:50 pm. Small WD40's, and anything really thin. I just tied a few size 28's I'm going to try. Maybe next weekend [or during the week, if I get sick] heavy weekend usage - and there might still be bait fishers until Nov. Have heard of occasional dry fly fishing . . . never witnessed it. Best of luck, and I might see ya on "The Creek" since it is the closest trout stream to S.F. - and when you have an itch 1 hr 20 min is not too bad. -- NOTE: Please remove "MY_WADERS" from my return Email address if you wish to reply directly. Thanks, M |
