The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Thanks Abel Boy and all (including MarcP): I ended up driving my a** off for the fun of it--first up to Hat Creek, where it was hot and slow and just small stuff (by me) was to be had. So I took off to--Yosemite and Tioga Pass way! Didn't mind the drive. Above 8,000 feet the temperatures were moderate and good fishing resulted from cooler temps. It was great to come home (though I have been in Maine for 15 years) and fish the California way--nothing like those Sierra streams. I admire you getting fish out of the Upper Sacto in that heat--must have been early and late. That is definitely on my list to try next trip out--thanks again for all the help!
