With the grandparents doing baby watching I got to fish the Upper Sac today. Gotta say it was a bit off for me. I fished above Prospect by about a 25 minute walk or so. Nymphs just were not producing in places they should be... the fly that finally started working was a black rubber legs... I had one, I lost it on a fish. The other stone patterns I had just weren't the same. I picked up 7 on nymphs over about 3-3.5 hours... then I figured if the fishing was going to be slow, I might as well fish dries. I just did short line dry fly fishing with a #16 Royal Wulff and then a #16 EC Caddis. That was the ticket... not big fish, but lots and lots of missed opportunities too. Lots of fun. Ended the day at about 4 with about 17 fish to hand. Largest about 13-14". The hiking took it out of me. I lost POUNDS of water today, even though I had a hydration pack. The water was surprisingly cool. I was going to wet wade, but once I put my hand in the water I banished the thought.
The smoke is just starting to get to the area. It has been nice to be out of it. There were actually stars in the sky last night... haven't seen those in weeks.
I have some pics that I'll get up later.
