Putah Creek: Ocotber 11

Adrian Psuty and myself lead a group of 4 anglers through the trails of Putah creek in search for resident and migratory trout. We did a half-day and were able to stick several dozen resident rainbows. Many of them came on larger mayfly and caddis patterns. We fished many smaller insects with little success. The flows were great (280cfs) and fishing pressure was low for a weekend. Fishing this creek can be fun if you get water to fish.

Putah was tough for us today. My clients fished hard, covering some of the best water on the creek. We managed a few dinks and had a few solid takes, but not exactly red hot. Crowds were decent in the morning with plenty of bait dunkers drowning pink power paint. The crawlers hawlers did a number on the fish today, should have brought the Zebco. I am anxious for the bigger fish to migrate! Flows are good, 300 or so, the water looks good. No pictures from today yet, clients Gordon and Sarah may send me some later. Here is something to look at in the mean time. I am on the Yuba tomorrow.
