I'm thinking of heading out Sunday morning, I'd be on the creek by 8:00 or so. I'm in a blue dodge quab cab and wear a straw cowboy fishing hat. If you see me come say hello. I'll probably start out at #5 Packrat (Rich)

Hi guys, it looks like it might rain on saturday, do you think that will hurt the fishing at all. I never fished a river or stream while it was raining, only a lake, and it usually doesn't hurt the fishing too bad, but I'm talking Amador here...lol. Also, I'm gonna get an early start at Putah on saturday, li...
