Lower Sac
(Preview)
Had a blast with my father fishing the Lower Sac with Ryan Johnston. After teaching the old dog the new trick, we boated 26 nice rainbows which topped out at 19.5". We drifted the middle section. It was cold but dry. Most of the fish were taking orange egg patterns! Weird time of year for that bu...

1/20/11 Yuba Run
(Preview)
I made a Lower Yuba run with Alastair on the 20th. I was amazed how much the river had cleared up in a week. Visibility was around 5 feet. As you can see on the flow reports, it is still running very high. Wade access is very much reduced, but like anywhere, you observe and define the feeding lanes, seam...

So I'm pretty bored, so I thought I'd put up this pic. I played golf 2 weeks ago right next to piece of water. Your only hint is that it is in NorCal. Edit: Crap, it came out pretty small so put it up on your BIG monitor. -- Edited by Ty on Monday 20th of December 2010 04:07:44 PM

Just a few hours to the south! The water is managable and the fish were hitting nymphs at the tops of pools all day. Around 6pm there was an impressive BWO Hatch. I got the fish in the pic just shy of the market at El Portal.
