General Information : ??Fair to Good. Flows are low throughout the system, and the entire river is in good shape for fishing. There has been a variety of different hatches: Several species of Mayflies, and some decent caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stoneflies buzzing around as well. We're seeing more big fish so far this year than we have since the first year the river re-opened after the Cantara Spill, especially in the lower stretches of the river.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: The Stoneflies are reaching the end of their season and the dries are going to slow down however the nymphs will continue to work through out the year. The old standards are always a good choice so break out one of those nymphs you have had success in the past on and give it another chance for glory. As the sunsets it will be time to switch to the caddis and pmds for the evening

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. If you're not ticking bottom from time to time (yes, this means losing a few flies), you're probably not getting down to where the fish are feeding.
