northern Ca fishing

Myself and a couple of buddies fished the Upper Sac river and Pitt River a few days ago,with mixed results.The Upper Sac fished decent in the lower stretches especially for larger fish 16" to 18" and the upper area (cantera loop) was not that good mostly 8 to 12" fish.On the other hand the Pitt river was off the hook....maybe it was on the hook!I landed 24 fish in a 4 hour period in the Pitt 3 area.The hot fly was a large fly that we use in Cliff lake Idaho!! The fly is called a double ender,also success was acheived by focusing on the pocket water areas with no indicator using a high stick method,yes the old "lob lift and leave" approach. Also I found out some interesting info from Ken Davis thanks to his research,about the brook trout caught in Putah some time ago.He reported that 21000 brookies were planted in the creek below Monticello dam way back in 1966-68 and  surveys in 1970-73 were still finding these fish,maybe there are still a few in Putah still hanging on.Interesting stuff thanks Ken.  Greg

Hey Bono,


Great report.  I went to Pit 4 last weekend with a buddy and had a great time.  Would you (or anyone) mind explaining how the "heave it and leave it" technique works on a river?  I have only practiced the "heave it and leave it" technique on lakes with midge patterns.  Any advice would be appreciated.


Tight Lines,


Matt

The method "lob lift and leave" is generally high stick nymphing.Fishing almost within rods length lobbing the fly rig into pocket water,lifting the rod tip to take up slack in the line and leave it alone untill the drift is complete,very deadly given the right circumstances.
