Having never fished Putah in the winter, I was wondering if you still needed shot with these low flows to get your flies down to where the fish are. I am heading out Thursday and wanted to ask. Thanks.
If using a dry/dropper set up you don't need extra weight. Just use a bead head nymph as your dropper. If you are using an indicator, you might want a little bit of weight to get deeper.

The amount of weight definitely depends on the run you're fishing. I guess I oversimplified my previous post. Just to let you know, I change the amount of weight, length of leader between indicator and flies, and the size of the indicator until I find the fish's feeding level. Don't be lazy. If you're not catching fish, CHANGE.
