I had the chance to row Steve and Brian from the Sweeny's Hosted Trip this weekend. The start of the weekend was not looking good due to the forecast of rain for Saturday and wind for Sunday. I decided to show them the Anderson River Park to Barge hole drift on Saturday. The rain was a little miserable until about noon, and then it started to clear up in the afternoon. The fishing was good with the two guys landing 40+ rainbows. The prime spots tended to be the faster water today. We were only able to scratch a handful of fish off of the flats. The hot bug for the morning was a size 12BH Twenty Incher & the fished turned onto a size 14BH Copper Bob in the afternoon. I was fairly proud of myself since I was able to hang with one of the most veteran guides on the river that day.
Sunday had much different weather patterns. The first part of the day was brutal with a steady 20MPH BREEZE! It is pretty difficult to get a dead drift when the wind is blowing like that. In addition the wind keeps all of the bugs from coming off. You put those two variables together and it makes for a nasty fishing equation. In hopes to be able to hide from the wind I decided to float from Bonnyview down to Balls Ferry. For the first three hours of fishing we had 3 fish in the boat. But lucky for us the wind started to die down around lunch time. By the end of the day we boated 30+ fish with a couple of fish around the 18'' mark. It was a successful day considering the way the weather started out. The hot bugs today were the size 14 tan fox pupah & 14BH flashback pheasant tail.
If you are interested in trying the Lower Sac or the Yuba in May I still have a handful of availabilities. Check out my website for my contact information.
