October 23, 2021: A small band of volunteers worked with CDFW area leaders to replace signage and Angler Survey Boxes

2021 is going out with a bang as Putah Creek Trout volunteers worked to place new and replace out of date regulation signage as well as mud snail warning signs throughout the Interdam Reach. A HUGE shout out to Dave Jepma and Mike Glazeski as they did much of the actual placement!

PCT volunteers met with Heritage and Wild Trout Program statewide manager Farhat Bajjalia and CDFW Region 3 Biologist Ryan Watanabe at FA5 and immediately got to work. The group placed new and replaced old angler survey boxes.

It was hard but rewarding work. Next time you’re out on the creek, check them out (and fill out those surveys)!

Spring has sprung on the creek. The water is quite turbid and on the rise 300+. Silt from the recent run off is really impacting some of the best runs. 128 is now open with one lane controlled by traffic lights. Goslings were keeping close to mom and learning how to navigate the riffles at FA#5. 4/4/23 ALERT: Highway 128 closure effectively shuts down access to the Putah Creek fishing access. The recent rain and runoff has undercut highway 128 near FA#3. Work crews have closed the road at Pleasant Valley road on the east side and at the dam to the west. Looks like no fishing access until the work is completed. No ETA known at this time. Don’t even bother. Now that the flows are starting to go down for Fall (currently at 204cfs), I wanted to share my thoughts on fishing Putah and discussions on the board. I think there is a balance that we should strike regarding discussing fishing success on the Putah and ensuring that we aren't contributing to the phenomena of "Hot Spotting". This is obviously subjective. Putah Creek is NOT a secret to the local fishing community and should be cherished and celebrated by ALL of the community. That being said, it is an extremely small fishery - only ~4.5 miles much of which is UNfishable due to vegetation and topography. It is the closest wild trout stream fishery to the Napa, Bay Area, and Sacramento metropolitan areas. This can lead to significant fishing pressure (duh). 2022 Putah Creek IDR Cleanup success! Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped make our little piece of water more enjoyable and safe for everyone to enjoy! We collected ~800 pounds of trash and 100 pounds of recyclables. #coastalcleanupday #putahcreektrout #pickupyourtrash 2022 Putah Creek Interdam Reach Cleanup is Saturday 9/17/22.
