Fishing Report- Fair:

I took a walk along the creek yesterday and found several spots that are wadeable and looked real fishy. Didn't see any fishermen but saw a couple of cars parked at the turnout near the bend between #4 and #3. You might want to try saw a couple of promising spots at #3. Didn't check out the bridge, however.

Slowly retreiving a small olive or brown strreamer might work well.

Some General Information About The Flies That Work On Putah

It's all about nymphing on Putah so a double (or tripple) indicator fly rig with #18 to #22 nymphs will get you fish. Try Zebra Midges in Olive, Gray, Black and Red, or WD-40s in the same colors. Perdigon's (ie. little Frenchies) in olive, red or black seems to always work however. Fish will also eat flash back PTs , or any other mayfly pattern that's smaller than size #18. Small Perdigon's work too. Good luck.
