Howdy. I went out on the Lower Sac yesterday with a couple of friends to product test a donated rowing/fishing frame. We didn't get on the water until about 11:30 and it was really slow for about the first couple of hours. Then, as if by magic, the fish started hitting. There were tons of bugs out... mayflies and caddis, nothing really rising for them though. The #16 BHPT was the ticket despite the assortment of other bugs. I managed to land 4 and the boat landed about 12 with about twice as many hooked as landed. I lost a total pig, which haunts me still... something in the mid-low 20's... good to see and feel a fish like that, even if we didn't get it to the boat.
That Lower Sac is just a fantastic river... there were lots of other boats out, but there is plenty of river to go around. The river is really low at the moment and I saw people wading spots I've never seen people wading. It was a beautiful day and I even got a little bit of a sunburn.
That Cypress bridge work is a real mess... someone is going to die there at some point in the summer and it will be tragic when it happens. I can understand why they are going to close it, but I don't know how they are going to keep everyone they want to keep out from getting in.
I broke my skunk the week before, so with that behind me I can now look forward. Oh, I also managed to sort of break my #1 7 wt... so I'll be sending my rod back to the good folks at St. Croix... they probably miss my rod and it misses them... they've developed a close bond over the years.
