Fishing Report- Fair:

Many of the areas should be pretty wadeable right now. Water is cold so fishing will be a little on the slow side. Later in the morning is probably the best time. Keep checking back as I often a update info a couple of times a week.

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.
