Thanks for your understanding everyone. I really appreciate it. We all want a good, healthy fishery. Good fly-fishing experiences for years to come for us...and our kids. It's especially hard in a place like Putah Creek that's sandwiched in between the City and Sacramento. Tons of pressure. I'm a better steward and better fisherman due to all of your advice. I look forward to even more of it into the future. Hey, I've learned in life that you can't stop learning. When you are no longer open to hearing others' criticisms, life gets very difficult for you and everyone around you. And, I also know that when people say you screwed up...it's usually because you did! So, again, thanks all. Greg and I will be connecting and talking. Perhaps I'll get to fish with some of you at some point. By the way, if any of you ever have any state-related tax problems, let me know. I'd be happy to help you navigate the rough waters of state government and our complicated tax system. Here to serve. I think you all have my work email. :) All the best. - Sean Wallentine

If you are an athlete and have ever experienced cramps, loss of strength, or "rubbery" limbs after strenuous exercise, then you've experienced lactic acid poisoning (acidosis) due to oxygen deficit. Fish suffer the same way. In fish, the larger they are, the greater the toxic effect and the greater the damage to overcome after a long fight. Full acidosis is fatal, often days later.  

In large trout, holding the gills out of the water for more than 10 seconds can result in gill damage and/or reduced oxygen uptake. Trout don't breathe out of water-the gasping you see is O2 deficit. Combine the two stressors, you really put the fish in trouble. Enuff said.

Sean definitely maned up. Don't take it to heart. Everyone here fishes during spawning season. Just as long as your not snagging actively spawning fish. Take the criticism lightly, everyone has their own opinion. Im sure if anyone of us caught that fish we would have held it for more then 10 seconds. Also, if anyone is fishing steel head this time of year why do you think they are doing running up the rivers? Not for their health. Its just sensitive subject when you talk about Putah Creek. Honestly I think some people are a little jealous of that fish.

By the way, I do believe its wrong to fish for actively spawning fish on redds and this is in no way to start any trouble. Im just sayin it happened, great once in a life time catch, and lets let it be. Only the innocent should throw stones and I know no one is innocent here.

I agree with you SK60. I have been a proponent for quite a while of a complete closure from Nov 15 to Feb 15 or even March 1. I would be curious to hear Roger Bloom or another fishery biologist's take on this. If we truly want this fishery to become what many of us believe it is capable of then I think we can set down our rods for a few months or go chase Steelhead and let PC fish do their thang! Would people be willing to do that for improved fishing in the long run?

If the Wild Trout evaluation was not ongoing, consideration of a closure might be a good idea. But remember, the evaluation is being done in the face of little recent baseline scientific data on the status of the fishery. Changing too many things at once could make Roger's evaluation more difficult. We already added one change by removing silt and weeds at top of guides run for the spawn. Any closures, IMO, would have to wait until we can support the request with more than good wishes for our finned friends. The FGC will review data, get public comment (positive and negative) and, if the stars are in the proper alignment, possibly pass the request.

If this is too much boring info for some, the object of writing it is to reinforce that the reg change process is highly political and seldom accomplished easily.
