Current River Conditions: No reason why you can't go catch trout here! Conditions are improving, but expect to contend with much higher water than you would find in the Autumn months. It's because of spring run-off. Yes! It's spring! Now go catch some fish!
The Fly Shop's ? Tips: When nymphing on the Upper Sacramento River, always use double the amount of shot in order to get the flies down to the fish in the faster, bubbly water. If a run calls for one SSG, put on two. 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. Use stronger tippet like 2X-3X for bigger flies in the #6-10 range, 4X for smaller #16-18. Keep your first fly within 6-8 inches of your split shot. Stronger tippet means fewer flies will be left on the bottom of the river. Sink tip lines with streamers attached are a good plan when there is room to cast.
