The City of Winters, Solano County Water Agency, Winters Putah Creek Committee, Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee, Putah Creek Council, landowners, volunteers and others are responsible for working to see this incredible return of the salmon. The Winters Salmon Festival celebrates the return.
