Richard Loft reports on 9.17.2015

Hey Everyone : Here’s my report for this week of 9/14-9/18. Flows- 414cfs. Let me start off by saying much of the creek is still closed due to the fire the whole south side has a closure issued by Fish and Wildlife. However that said, I fished the open areas on the north side and bigger fish are starting to show. I fished from 2:30 to 4:00 on the 14th; my first...

Richard Loft Reports on 9.7.2015

Sept 4th flows were at 356 cfs- I fished from 1pm to 6pm at lower access 2 and moved towards the dam, then moved downriver to access 3 and 5 where I have been spending more time since the fire If you have a 3wt bring it and try at #3 where you can’t use a 9 ft rod but dont forget to bring your 5wt too. Access 5 always has small fish that love any kind of small...

Yuba River

The Yuba is still the place to be right now, and is only get better. The flows are a bit down this week, around 720cfs, but the water temps are staying steady in the upper 50’s, and the fish are loving it. We have been seeing some bigger fish in the last two weeks, not only trout but the salmon are starting to show up too. Saw about a dozen podded up at...

Richard of Napa Valley Fly Guide reports on 8.17.2015

So here is my report for the last 3 weeks 7/27/15 to 8/17 15 ; the Wragg fire has left Putah Creek scarred but there are still places to fish that have not been decimated by the fire. DFW has implemented a partial closure of the creek from Montecello Dam to access 5 along the south side that is the back side of the creek for those of you that...

The fishing isn’t quite where I expected to be the past week that I was out there. We landed a decent amount of fish and they were all good size and healthy. We had to work pretty hard for them. There are a lot of fish schooled up in the frog water where it is really hard to get a fly presented to them. We worked several fish for a while with a few takes and...

We are still a couple weeks out from what I feel is an ok time to start fishing the creek again. Most of the fish are finishing up their spawning season and are still a bit lethargic. I will start guiding Putah Creek again after February 25th and from then on its game time. The spring is by far my favorite time to be out there. The hills are lush green and...

It is time to give the creek short break for a few months while the trout do their thing.  This is the time of year where Putah rainbows are pairing up, playing chase, and making future trophy fish.  Please leave the spawning fish alone.  This is only a 4 and half mile creek to begin with, the fishery is very sensitive and needs our support.

Greetings, it’s been too long since I have shared a report with everyone. Things have been extremely busy, I have returned from four months in Alaska to a busy guide schedule. Throw in just returning from weeklong steelhead trip to British Columbia and you can understand how finding the time to get to a computer to post a report was difficult. Stay tuned...
