The Lower Sac On 4/20 & 4/21

I had the opportunity to guide Rik and Jerry from walnut creek this last Friday and Saturday. Jerry and Rik are good clients of mine who know how to fish and have a good time. It is always enjoyable to have those guys up.

Friday the weather was great! Clear skies and a nice 75 degrees. I once again decided to float from Anderson River Park to the Barge Hole. The fishing this morning also started out a little slow. By lunch we only had 10 fish to the net, but by the end of the day we had landed 30+ rainbows. Not to bad of a day on the Lower Sac. There was a nice caddis hatch that came off around 2:00 that really helped out the fishing. The hot bugs today were the size 12BH Twenty Incher, 12BH Golden Stone, 14BH CDC Prince, and 14 Tan Fox Pupah.

Saturday the weather was miserable! I have not seen such a drastic change in weather for a long time. It rained steady with the wind blowing between 10-20MPH all day long. What a crazy day to be out on the water. Needless to say that the fishing was much like the weather. CRAPPY! I decided to float from Bonnyview down to Balls Ferry. By the end of the day we boated 17 rainbows and probably lost 6 others. So we did get a few fish to play with us, but it was not as good as it has been for the last three weeks. The hot bugs today was a size 14BH Pheasant Tail and a 14 Tan Fox Pupah.

Give me a call if you want to get on some northern California fishing action before I leave for Idaho on May 22. Not to long here and I will be throwing dry flies in Idaho for the entire summer.
