Nice article, hope i just read through it too fast as i didnt see any mention of how most of us who fish the creek find fishing the spawn unethical and support a winter closure

You must have missed this part of the article

Putah Creek has a robust year-round population of wild rainbows; the fish can reach 20 inches. Beginning around mid-November and lasting through February, large rainbows—some more than 20 inches—ascend the river from Lake Solano on a spawning run.  Many of the guides refrain from bringing clients during this time, preferring to allow the fish a chance to spawn unmolested.

Not those exact words but it was mentioned. The article was a little ambiguous in that regard. It was a nice plug for Richard just the same.

Youre right, my apologies. I missed that sentence and saw open year round next to time in the summary on the bottom, should have checked again before posting that.
