Fluctuating flows
(Preview)
I talked to the Putah stream biologist last week and the fluctuating flows came up. He said the reason for up-down-up is the maintenance work going on with the Putah South Canal-all 30+ miles of it. They cut the flow, work on a piece, then increase the flow (to flush it out?). He thought this pattern coul...

flows are back up a lil bit
(Preview)
so now that the flows are back up to 80 again. what are the chances that they might actually stay up there this time through the weekend. or will the raising of the flow in the middle of the week and lowering them at the end keep happening. wish they would just stay at 80 at least over this weekend.

Silly maby. But the regs say as of November 15th.?Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used. So I guess a multi fly set up is ok? Right. I am still stuck on the old regs single barbless hook. And zero limit!!!? Sound right.

Indicator or not to indicator, that is the question.
(Preview)
Hey everyone, Lately I've been using a dry fly with a dropper rig since the flows were so low, but since the flows are up a bit, do you think I should go back to an indicator? I'll be there tomorrow, and hopefully they don't bring the flows back down to 46.
