Changing weather in the North State caused a little bit of slow action this a.m. on the Lower Sac. Lots of clouds, not many midges and BWO, and very few caddis.
Noticing a few salmon millin' around, I decided to try my favorite "bad weather" go-to a little earlier in the year than normal.
The first two hours, we scored 2... OK this may work.....then an hour with nada... uh-oh.... then got into an area with some active salmon, and POW !! Got 'em right in the kisser! My guys nailed 11 fish from one 'bucket' while I was anchored in the dead water off to the side of said 'active salmon'. They weren't paired up and digging/dropping... just staging and playing grab-ass I guess. Whatever it was, the 'bows were there. The largest went 20 1/2 inches and was a perfect fish. One was 20 and pretty skinny, and the others were all the normal fat 17-18" range.
We also scored fish on Birds Nest, Princes, and PT's.
Looks like the egg bite may be comin' early this year.....
Gonna try the same tomorrow to confirm.
