In conjunction with California Fish and Wildlife and Yolo County, the NCCFFI (Northern California Fly Fishers International) is planning a general cleanup and trail maintenance/restoration at Putah Creek on Saturday, January 10, 2026,
The project will cover key access points and include garbage clean up as well as trail maintenance/restoration work to be done. Volunteers from each club are requested to gather and bring rakes, loppers,hand pruners, hand tree saws (for larger limbs, hedge trimmers (gas), and weed wackers (gas). Protective gear like gloves, safety glasses, long pants, long shirts etc. are recommended.
Since Putah Creek is the closest Heritage and Wild Trout stream to the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, we are asking local fly clubs to put the word out and solicit volunteers to help with this effort on January 10th . We would like to get groups of 6-10 volunteers from each club with a total amount of volunteers being about 50-60.
Please see the attached PDF information sheet for your marketing efforts for the cleanup!
We will send out additional information about this cleanup effort in December. (Complete details to be announced in the December RiverMouth). The general plan is to start working early in the morning on January 10th and finish early in the afternoon…at which time lunch will be served to all the volunteers (details pending).
Please save the date (January 10th ) and join us to care for Putah Creek.
