Fish downstream of Annapolis Rd, or upstream from the Hwy 101 bridge. Use 24' 225 and 325 grain sink-tips with large, dark steelhead patterns. Areas to fish are at the fish hatchery, Blue Lakes road, and hiking upstream of the hatchery. Best to fish during the week. Putah Creek Very high, slightly off color, low 50 F's.
Fishing is tough.
Water clarity is not bad, but very high water is making access to the stream difficult. A few fish are being caught from mid-morning on. Also, try some streamers on both floating and sink-tip lines. Putah Creek is just a one hour drive from the Bay Area. Access at Day Use or the numerous pullouts off the road.
