Hi all, Now that the flows are starting to go down for Fall (currently at 204cfs), I wanted to share my thoughts on fishing Putah and discussions on the board. I think there is a balance that we should strike regarding discussing fishing success on the Putah and ensuring that we aren't contributing to...

I use instagram and follow a local guide. He moves from the lower Yuba to Putah and back. I've noticed that he is posting constant images of guys with large bows almost daily. If the river were 30 miles long and had low pressure, that would be one thing but this place is going to crush under pressure. T...

It can be just as challen...
