Hey All,

I really think we all ought to spend more time fishing then griping.  I've been fishing Putah creek for over 30 years and I have to say that the number of people hasn't changed that much.  In fact, some friends of mine and I fished there on the 15th of November (yes, the last day for regular anglers - we all fly fish and catch and release - only day we could all get together and go), and we saw maybe a total of a dozen people all day.  Also, the creek and the trails have improved over the last 30 years due to the increased interest in the area. 

I agree with the idea of designating Putah a wild trout area, and I think that would increase the interest in the area as well.  Final thing to say - unless you know the stream really well, you aren't going to catch fish and have a great experience.  I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.

Catch and Release,

RW
