Got away Friday at 2:30 and pulled off on the Upper Sac below Dunsmuir around 5:00...fished til 7:30 or so and hooked a dozen. Fish were receptive to ESN techniques with heavy flies. Heavy being the operative word — double tungsten beads and some extra putty for insurance. Not many fishable spots at those flows but the fish are stacked in the holding water if you can get down to them.

Went into the conservancy on Saturday morning. Worked pretty hard for not that many grabs. Rose one nice fish on a chubby chernobyl otherwise all ESN again. The road into AhDiNa isn’t any worse this year than years past.

Hit the Upper Sac again later in the day and stuck a few more fish there. Enjoyed the hockey game with takeout pizza and a six pack before bed and was home today before noon.
