Hey Greg, I just had one of the greatest days of fishing I have ever had.  The size of all the fish landed today were just unbelievable - one of them was so big that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to top it in this lifetime (as far as landlockeds go).  But besides that, I had a few questions about how to treat the spawners.  In some of your earlier posts you said that we should take it easy on these spawning fish, does that mean that I should refrain from catching them? or should I just end the fight as quickly as possible and handle them properly?....and I'm guessing the spawning females are these pigs that have made their way up from salano?  Basically, after catching so many huge fish today, I kind of feel like i'm exploiting their situation and want to make sure that I am not endangering anything for the future.  If it's not to much trouble for you, could you please give me any additional info on the best ways to preserve the spawn at putah...Thanks for the help. 

In case anyone was wondering--flies of the day were definately 18-20, olive wd-40's and zebra's, they ate them up at almost every cast.
