Lower Sac Report - Last week of Sept. 17 Years, 6 Months ago
|
|
|
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......

"Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadow, rivers that have eroded down deep in a mountain's belly, sculpted the land, peeled back the planet's history exposing the texture of time itself."
— Harry Middleton (Rivers of Memory)
"Each night as I haul myself onto the back of county garbage truck no. 2, there is a familiar wind, some thread of moonglow or starlight, a splatter of dark rain on my skin, something that stirs my memory, and again, if even for a brief moment, I am on some mountain river, some stretch of bright water, full of possibilities, including the possibility of trout, perhaps one that, when hooked, will haul me in and out of time, in and out of life's mysterious and frightening, wondrous and incomprehensible continuum, even to the edges of the universe." -- Harry Middleton
