Light at the end of the tunnel... A new season on the creek. What a beautiful day to wade right in (carefully). Here’s hoping that we will soon be able to come back together and do the work improving the creek that we love! Look for coming opportunities soon!

Putah Creek Trout just completed our annual spawning survey. Overall, there appears to be a healthy population of mature fish reproducing in the system. Many redds were counted in the usual places. PCT will also be tracking the effect of flow changes with concern for potentially dewatering some of shallow redds. PCT supports the community-led recommendation to not fish between December and March. Peace. #putahcreektrout #mindtheredd

2020 LNU Complex Fire Burns the IDR. Portions of Putah Creek have burned essentially every year for the past 6 years. While the fish are not harmed directly (they do live in water after all), future spawning may be impacted. Runoff during the rainy season can produce significant siltation like we saw in 2017. The burn appears to have spared much of the Yolo Fishing Access infrastructure. The fire downstream of FA3 and around FA1 burned both banks whereas upstream was predominantly river right (Solano). Let’s hope that rain comes soon (but not in torrents). #putahcreektrout #lnulightningcomplex

The 2020 Spawn Season Closure Survey has been tabulated and analyzed. 235 responses! Here is the overview in charts. No closure proposal will be put forth by PCT for the 2020 regulation change cycle. For more analysis, please visit our website PutahCreekTrout.org #putahcreek #putahcreektrout #robrussellflyfishing #putahcreekflyfishingguides #driftonthefly #troutunlimitedca

The spawn season closure survey has been closed to allow time for data analysis. There were 235 responses! Thank you everyone who participated! The results will be shared soon. There is not an immediate plan for PCT to act on the results at this time. #putahcreektrout #putahcreekflyfishingguides #putahcreekfishing #robrussellflyfishing #driftonthefly

Celebrating 10 years of stewardship!

Yolo County has reopened the Putah Creek Fishing Accesses as of 4/24/20. They recommend continuing social distancing. Makes us appreciate what these sites offer our community! Updates to come regarding the Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve parking at the bridge... #putahcreektrout #socialdistancing2020 #keepthemwet

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
