My guests John and Bruce had two really good days swinging flies on the Lower Sac! I fished John last fall on another trout spey trip, and he was overwhelmed with the beauty of the lower river. They had to cancel their tarpon trip in the Florida Keys, so they decided a trout spey trip was the next best thing! With the flows at 12,000 cfs, it was a little pushy in some spots, but the fish were eager to eat their swung flies. I learned a good lesson yesterday - John was getting multiple grabs in one run but struggled to hook the fish. When I checked his fly, I discovered his hook was actually bent closed! We’re not sure how it happened, but I started checking their flies anytime they missed a fish. Wading in the river when it is really hot outside is so refreshing!
