Is the Yuba, American, Russian or Putah worth fishing this weekend?? My guess is that they are all blown out but I am hoping to get a full day in somewhere on Saturday. TK

So, got out the creek for the first time in a LONG time for me.? Been at least a few months. But even still, I only fished for about 2 hours, and it was pretty disappointing.?
