The gage at Delta is showing north of 2,500 CFS and some robust turbidity. The river is still a few weeks away from being a solid destination. A few Salmonflies are coming off, nothing to get excited about. If you have a drift boat or can hire a guide, the Lower Sac is fishing great! Otherwise, Hat Creek would be your best option.
