Putah Creek CA

[Taxman]

My youngest son lives in San Fran with his Mom. We fly fish summers and on
vacations when he visits. He misses fly fishing very much. For his birthday,
I bought him a nice 5wt and sent it out a couple weeks ago. After a lot of
searching we determined Putah creek was closest place he could do a day trip.
About 2.5 hours away. Putah has a reputation as a difficult creek due to its
proximity to a very populated area. He couldn't find any friends that fly fish
so today he went alone and nailed it!! He just texted and said he has caught
2 rainbows so far. I am sharing this because I am very proud and I wanted to
thank the members of this forum who helped us both become better fly fisherman.

Thank you guys!

Bless his heart! River was high and he only knew how to fish a hopper
and dropper. When he told me there was only 1 other fisherman I thought
it odd until he showed me this pic. He did say he had a big one hit the
hopper and headed downstream and never stopped. lol.
