Putah Creek Conservation and Fly Fishing Insights

By Steve Karr 

I have been a fly fisherman for over 50 years; I have been fishing Putah Creek since the 1990’s during which time I’ve witnessed many changes in the stream and the trout fishery. I joined Putah Creek Trout during its first year (2007) when it was still just a small group of concerned fishermen and women hoping to bring the Creek back to its Trophy Trout status. In 2009 the group achieved 501(c)3 nonprofit status and I became Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2010. With a very talented and supportive Board, numerous volunteers, and funding from fly fishing clubs and others we have accomplished several milestones including special regulations (C&R), Wild Trophy Trout designation, and establishment of restoration programs designed to improve the creek ecosystem, expand the fishery, and provide better access for recreational users of this valuable natural resource.
