Most of us who fish it regularly stay away during the winter and support a winter closure. The fish are very special being so close to major cities and there have been serious problems with people intentionally snagging spawning fish in the past, though of course not everyone who fishes in the winter engages in that behavior. If you do go be very careful wading over redds. Like rossflyguy said steelhead season is going on and the russian is looking fantastic now with no rain in the forecast.
