Hi all, I just got back from a very fun week on the Puget Sound with some feisty sea-run cutthroat and I'm eager to connect with some local fish. I'm thinking of going to Putah this weekend and would really appreciate fly recommendations. I understand there are caddis and midges around. Anything else?...

Flows are down the creek is on fire. Fish on the pre-spawn/winter chomp. You have to sort through a lot of little ones but the big guys are back in their usual feeding lanes again.
