New to Sacramento - need recommendations
Hi all,
Just moved the family to Sac and wondered if anyone can recommend a place to wet a line. I'm in serious need to unwind after the move. Bass and/or panfish on poppers sound like a great idea. I have a 5 wt, would this be too light? I was looking at getting a 7 wt specifically for bass bugging.
Thanks in advance!
Bill :D

Hi Bill,.... Good to have you up here. I'm a long time SoCal transplant. 8) 8)
Not sure what part of Sacramento you've moved to but here's a few locations to try within a relatively short distance from the Mid-town area:
Arden Ponds - at the end of Arden Ave. and the parkway, Fair Oaks
Pond at Elk Grove Park - Elk Grove-Florin Rd., Elk Grove
Laguna Creek - Bond Rd and Elk Grove-Florin Rd, Elk Grove
Lower American River - No. side above Howe Av. (slow water behind islands)
There's a bunch of others that require more travel. A listing of those places are available from Kiene's Fly Shop (haven't checked yet, but may be available on this site)
Get out the and enjoy..... 8) 8) 8) [/i]

Thanks Darian!
We're in Elk Grove right now until our new house is completed. I'll definitely check out the 2 you mentioned in the Elk Grove area. I've never fished for bass with a fly rod before, so would a 5 wt be sufficient to throw poppers? Or would I need something like a 7 wt?
Thanks again and I hope to see you out on the water sometime.
Bill
