Took my first trip to the Upper Sac with my good friend James this last Saturday. We got on the lowere section around 7 and did some deep nymphing. James got into a couple good fish and 1 real nice one. I ldr'ed a real good fish that ran upstream on me and ldr'ed another one almost as nice. We left there around 10:30 then headed up to Dunsmuir, on the way we stopped at Ted Fay's shop to see what was happening. After that short stop James took me to where the waterfall is, that is a pretty place to be. We hiked up above the falls for a few hours getting a couple here and there. Alot of hard work to find a few fish, but the trip was worth it. We fished that area for a few more hours then headed further north for a lunch break and then one more spot. We got a couple up north and James alomst stepped on a rattler. His foot was a couple of inches above it before he saw it. Cute little guy, after we scared it under a rock James jumped over it, while I took the long way around it. All in all I had a great time on new water with a good friend, and that is all that counts. Next time he is taking me to the Pit.
Here is the nice one James got.

I love waterfalls so this was a sight to see.

Shasta is real low right now and smoky, I made James stick his head out the window to take a pic of the plane on the lake.
