General Information : ??The river is starting to fish well. The best reprots we have involve using indicators or high sticking in the white water durning the daywith smaller dark nyumphs like the Mercer's Micro May. As evening approaches we are seeing some caddis coming off. Early and late in the day, when the sun is off the water is also a really good time to find some of the bigger fish in the river by swinging streamer in some of the deeper pools. This is not the method to use for lots of fish but can be deadly for quality fish.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: This is the time of year that produces best early and late in the day.The old standards are always a good choice so break out one of those nymphs you have had success with in the past and give it another chance for glory. As the sunsets it will be time to switch to the caddis and pale evening duns to end the day with some dry fly action. Midges will be one of the goto patterns as we progress through August and into September.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??When nymphing on the Upper Sac, always use more weight than you think you need to get the flies down to the fish. This time of year small flies in the pocket water works best. If you're not ticking the bottom from time to time (yes, this means losing a few flies), you're probably not getting down to where the fish are feeding.
