Norcal Fishing

[cdevine]

Just a few updates from some recent trips thought I would share. Hope all had a good Thanksgiving.

Fished the lower Sac with my oldest son with AC Fly Fishing and the one and only Jay Cochran. (Jaydactor). What a great float and awesome guy. Really knowledgeable NorCal guide who has tons of experience on a lot of NorCal waters. Lower Sac flows are low at 4500 CFS and fish are keying on bugs again after the egg drop earlier. Mainly small baetis and caddis. Some really big fish in the system. Great time of year to be on this river.

Been tossing feathers on the Truckee and have gotten into some decent rainbows. Was a tough pattern of sunny days and high pressure for most of November though, but this storm has really shaken it up.





So nice to see the rain/snow and winter weather in the near term forecast. Water temps are cold (low 40's) and fish have moved into some slower type water and end of runs.

East Walker is low. Really needs to get around 75 CFS to make it worthwhile. Reservoir is low and probably good to leave alone until Feb/march when flows get bumped up again.

Think I'm hitting the runs tomorrow with kiddos. Gotta love that early season Sierra cement.
