3/26/20: Within the last 48 hours both Stebbins Cold Canyon and Yolo Parks have closed their access and parking servicing Putah Creek. Per their websites and releases it appears that there will no longer be a way to access the creek legally from those areas without trespassing. We will keep the community updated as more information becomes available. #stayhealthytofishanotherday
Putah Creek Angler Surveys are the best way to determine the health of our fishery. Please fill out paper or online surveys EVERY OUTING so that we can get needed data. As an incentive, every completed survey will be entered into an ongoing prize drawings. See our website for more details (PutahCreekTrout.org) #putahcreek #putahcreektrout #robrussellflyfishing #jordanromneyflyfishing #napavalleyflyfishing
I’m writing from my personal account. I am proud to call Putah Creek my home water. I started fishing Putah during the tough years between the time stocking stopped and the new regs finally brought an end to the decimation of the fishery. I’m one of the newest members of the Putah Creek Trout board. I am awed and learn so much from PCT leaders who have saved this fishery through the changing of regs and working with DFWG to get the Wild Trout designation. I personally have participated in countless surveys, gravel augmentation, redd scouring, side channel enhancements, clean-ups, festival booths, and the less glamorous but equally important work of stakeholder meetings and coordination. I realize that the last two posts weaken our message to the community to observe a voluntary closure December - March. For this, I apologize and ask for people to understand this as my own lapse and not as a failure of PCT’s commitment. But I also feel compelled to point out that the degree of strident condemnation is out of proportion to the transgression. The amount of mean spirited posts was shocking. Piling on after the point had been made. Calling in to question my and PCT’s “agenda” is ludicrous and self serving. I know that no one affiliated with PCT is in this for recognition and certainly not for money. For those who are unfamiliar with our past work, go to our website. For those who REALLY care about the fishery, stop tearing PCT down and join our work. I will not be allowing comments on this post for fear of unproductive flaming but you can DM if compelled. Peace.
