Steelhead are around. On the 24th two of us fished the lower Sac with Lonnie Boles. We hooked around 25 fish and landed around 16-18. Most were small steelhead. I don't remember many halfpounders on the Sac from my 56 years of fishing it, but that was what most of the fish seemed to be. 14' to 16" fish, bright as silver. Just a few in the small adult range to 18" or 19". I landed one 25" buck [hatchery] that had to be around seven pounds. Frank lost one that looked larger. Going again on the 6th. Fish hit egg patterns, golden stones, and s and m.
Monday-Wednesday I fished the Klamath below Orleans. Not great, but fun. Mostly halfpounders again [where they are expected]. Landed one bright fish of about five pounds at the Lodge, and lost a larger one while drifting with guide Barry Leamon Tuesday morning. Otherwise, only a couple of small adults. Mostly swinging beadhead Assassins, but the biggest and a couple more on Polar Shrimp in low light.
I never got a report on the 4th week at Norlakes on the Babine.
