Lower Sac: , by Andrew Harris: Wading is an option...: 3 stars I just spent two great days on the Lower Sac. Thursday was a wade trip where we accessed some prime water via my jet boat. Wind hampered our efforts (I was really glad we weren't in a drift boat!) for much of the day, but we connected with several quality trout and steelhead using nymphs and indicators. If you like wade fishing, the Lower Sac is a lot of fun this time of year when flows are low. You can fish indicators, hopper/dropper, dry flies, and trout spey all in one day. Today I fished up in Redding with local guide Neil Amundson with Big Waters Guide Service. The weather was perfect and the big fish were biting. I landed several very large trout and hooked good numbers of normal size trout. We caught fish on a variety of nymphs from size 6 to size 20. The river has a great color right now - green with just the right amount of clarity. We have a big storm coming in next week, though. Redding will get some serious rain - stay tuned to see what it does to the river. Guest Chuck paid extra for a special wading license Yes, there are big fish that live under the Sundial Bridge!
