6.3.11. Upper Sac
Categories: Fishing Report
For a solid hour we had silly dry fly fishing. The water is high and swift but the fishing is pretty good in the pools. If you know your spots you can do really well right now. And No Mossbrae falls is not one of those spots.

Cal Trout Gala
Categories: Fishing Report
Showered, shaved and wearing a suit and tie (my blood knots are better than my neckties) I attended the Cal Trout Gala in San Francisco. The Four Seasons hosted dedicated fisherman and conservationist with cocktails and fine food, while fish stories and tales were spun by all. I think I had the only fish story from that day, as I guided the Lower Sac that morning and catching some great fish.
Cal Trout has done so much to protect out valuable fishing resources and I ardently support their efforts. It was a pleasure to party with such great people. Cal Trout recently launched their new website. Check out: http://caltrout.org/ Next year go to the Gala and raise a glass with me to a fabulous group of hard working conservationist, who I call friends.
