Lower Sac: , by Luke Geraty: Chomping Trout on the Lower Sac: 3 stars My day with some gents from Bakersfield went pretty well. Though we had a bit of a cold spell, the weather was pretty nice and we only had to battle the wind for a short period of time in the morning. The flows on the Lower Sac are still low (3100cfs), but the water color is great and when the bugs start popping, the fish are noticeably move grabby. Other than about an hour, we had pretty steady action throughout the day, though LANDING fish is often more challenging than HOOKING fish. We hooked a few 20+ inch fish and really enjoyed seeing the various bugs popping off (caddis & mayflies, primarily). The fish are eating sucker spawn imitations too, so using one of those and/or a rubber legs was productive. But sometimes you have to take that stuff off and go tiny! We did it all and everything produced a fish or two. Now's a great time to get out, so book a trip today! “Mine as well set the hook on that one!” Greg’s first fish of the day was a 20 incher! Yeah! Steelhead? Trout? Yes. Next 10 open days for Luke Geraty: Nov 22, 26, Dec 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 18, 19, 20 |
