Trinity River & Putah Creek Fly Fishing Report

Rob George Reports on November 12th, 2024

Trinity River Report

The fish are in!! We’ve had some seriously good days on the boat so far this season. There’s a good mix of adults and big half pounders in the river right now, which means a ton of opportunities to wrestle with a big adult steelhead. It’s all about finding the fish and getting your fly in front of their faces. They’ve been holding in shallow and deep sections and are scattered throughout the system so fish everything!!

Recommend flies:
Pats Rubber Legs
Duracell
Red copper John
Solitude Golden stone



Putah Creek

The flows on Putah dropped below 100cfs and it’s definitely turned down the volume on the bite. The fish will still eat your bugs, but we’re having to work for grabs. Locating the deeper pools on the creek is going to be your best shot at getting hook ups. The water is moving slower, the presentation of your bugs is the key to success. If you’re struggling on Putah, try switching to a smaller more realistic patterns.

Recommend flies:
(Nymphs)
Barr Emerger
WD-40
WD-50
Quasimodo Pheasant Tail
Zebra Midge
San Juan Worm
S&M Nymph
