How did the creek get its name? Putah is not a nice word in Spanish.

> Putah Creek is roughly 80 miles North of San Franciso- a tailwater of Lake
Berryessa (off highway 505 near Winters). Good fishing with midges and
BWO's for those with patience. My personal best is a 26" 'Bow that fell to
a size 24 Black Thread Midge- finally the 20/20 club! Even the lake hosts
some pretty decent fishing for those that throw big Zonkers or Shad
patterns. Dem biggins surely know how to tow around a pontoon boat. Start
of April signifies water release from the dam and high water. Too high for
bank fisherman. For those that are crazy (like myself), we launch a
pontoon and float the lower part of the creek where a decent Callibaetis
hatch happens precisely at 12-1230 every day. Mix bag of catch in the lower
creek. Mostly 'Bows , but I have caught Bluegil, Bass and even Catfish on
Callibaetis nymphs/emergers. Should be fun this year!
