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.
