I was lucky enough to be involved in a huge group trip that included 24 anglers from a ff'ing club in SoCal. A very nice bunch that I had the pleasure of guiding 5 years ago, so I remembered some of the members.
They wanted to either wade or float, but after hearing how the small streams were fishing, they decided to float.
Each day, the fishing was good, with one slow morning. Lots of boats on the water, as it's the season. I don't float anywhere but the L. Sac, so it's quite a site to see the river traffic increase so much during October. There's plenty of fish tho.... so most boats have a good time.
On busy days, I tend to hold back and let the others go, and fish slowly, rowing back up good runs. It works fairly well most of the time. I also prefer to wade whenever possible and anchor up a lot. Not many guides wade their clients any more. Not sure why ??
The hot flies of the week were Bird Nest, PT's, MicroMays, and/or any dainty mayfly nymph. The egg bite should get going very soon. Usually around Oct. 15 in the upper river.
Lots of places to wade....no need for a boat. Weather is cooling off.
Hope to see ya up here this winter.
(and Bruce, it's worth stopping otw to the T) email me for some info on where to spend a few hours. Winter sees larger fish......
