as the weather heats up the flows can go as high as 800cfs. Fishing Putah is a bit like cracking a safe. i have had very good luck fishing high flows when some really big fish come out of the lake, especially april and starting last week of august. The areas you fish and landing the fish just becomes a lot more selective. The wading is tough and after seasons of exploring i have found a few specific rocks to stand on to allow me to fish some runs really well, use a staff be careful and wet wade in summer. You can fish the campground run below the island, the hole just below the creek and above the bridge, the whole bridge area and the big hole down by the store and way down at#5 access. These are the easy high water fish spots there are others you just really have to explore and really think about how to position yourself to land a fish and become an expert roll caster
