I fished the Upper Sac on Wednesday. Running 750-ish, but gin clear. The lower end (below Dunsmuir) was sketchy wading and moving at a pretty good clip. However, I did find a few in the edges and pocket water. Mostly PMDs (size 18 and 20s) and really small caddis (couldn't catch one to ID) were out and about.
I moved above the town and water was slightly easier wading (still use caution). I picked apart the water in the town park and did pretty good in the pockets. A lot of giant stones taking to the air- especially in the parking lot. Did well on size 8 black stonefly nymphs and various caddis larva patterns. Make sure you have a little fire orange tied into them!
Your going to need a decent amount of weight added to hit bottom! My stones were tied with 4mm and 3.5mm tungstens beads!
I was strictly Euro nymphing with my anchor either a golden or giant stonefly.
Rain is in the forecast for the weekend. Should keep people home...
