Flows are still low and the bite is good. Stoneflies, PMD’s, and caddis patterns are all catching fish. A great time to be on the Lower Sac. Today, David and Patsy introduced their friend Jane to the world of fly fishing.
Andy helped me run some errands down in Redding. Including new wires for the drift boat trailer lights, new cup holders and new straps and tie downs all around. Oh right, and a couple of hours of fishing at the Posse grounds.
With the river conditions right where I like them this time of year, I had to put another day on the river.
Heavy rains brought the floods and the Upper Sac boomed up to almost 18,000 CF/S. We needed some water in this river bad. The Upper Sac clears fast and I was able to take advantage of some high water honey holes.
Last few weeks I’ve been on the river. Sick with Steelhead fever. No matter how many I farmed, caught, or photographed I still couldn’t shake the virus. Now recent rains have brought the end of the season. This fish, a highlight, ate a swung fly just after dawn.
Some days we work hard for one fish. Other days they practically swim into our net. Ryan and I can’t really complain about our outing…
The weather man said it would rain. I’ve been wet everyday for a week but today was beautiful blue skies and fresh snow on the peaks. Sunscreen and steelhead.
Steelhead fishing in Southern Oregon has been pretty fun this last week, with fowl weather and high flows bringing in some fish. It hasn’t been easy by any means but we have been finding them. Check out this great collection of photos from the week.
All we needed was a little rain in Southern Oregon to spark off some great steelhead fishing. With some proper planning and placement we were right where we needed to be for the push. Check out these photos of an epic day.
Tom, Louie, and Barry were crazy enough to chase steelhead in the snow today.
