Fishing Report- Fair:

The creek flows are a little high for safe wading though for some of you Access #5 may be doable. No matter what, tiney midge patterns such as Blow Torches, Frenchies, or other perdigon type flys size #16 and smaller are good.  Colors to try are Red, Purple, Olive, and Peacock.

Some General Information About The Flies That Work On Putah

Because of all the recent rains, worm and terresterial (worms and beetles etc) will work well right now, in addition to the usual small midge patterns. 
 

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 etc) 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.
