Yesterday I spent time with Daniel and Sarah on the Lower Sac and we had a really good day. These two were brand new to fly fishing, yet really excited to get out and learn how to cast and see if fly fishing was something they'd want to spend more time doing. I think it's safe to say that they will both be picking up fly rods and will be back on the river soon. We floated a lower section of the river and spent the first hour going over casting, mending, flies, and a bunch of other things that many of us take for granted. After we got going, the fishing started off slow with only a few grabs here and there but just after lunch, when the smoke haze cleared and the sun started shinning, the fishing turned on. We caught fish on a variety of flies (caddis!) and had fun the whole time. These two picked fly fishing up quick and after the float was over, we had caught fish, lost fish, joked around a lot about the proper way to yell at someone about mending, and talked a lot about what future fly fishing trips could look like. If you are brand new to fly fishing or haven't ever had a chance to go, I'd love to invite you to come up for a day or two! We have a lot of river miles to fish, both in a boat or walk & wade, so whatever you're interested in doing, we can probably help! Get out and fish!
