Do you remember that moment when you realized you were going to have to make your own decisions in life? You’re nine years old, and you’re new to the whole fly fishing thing. You’re not exactly a rookie in your eyes but you catch more fish than your dad. You’re at a point where you know your guide is going to teach you how to handle your own fish, that slimy creature that peers into your soul just before you release it back into the shadowy depths. You finally break through the fear and muster up enough courage. Just be cool and go with the flow. Then it happens. You did it! Pure excitement, the whole family and the Kennedy Brothers are cheering. You make one last look at the camera for dad’s photo as he calls over for you and suddenly to your surprise you notice your guide. Your mentor and buddy who is also twice as big as you, he fishes with ex-KGB agents, the one who ducks through doors and has hands bigger than your head. You’re cradling your fish delicately with both of your dripping wet hands and… he’s going for the high five! What would you do? Do you remember that moment? I do.
The weather after the rain has been delightful and it has forced an early emergence of caddis. Not quite the blanket hatch yet but it’s been close some days. March brown’s, baetis, pmd’s, stone’s and midges are also abundant with some dry fly fishing showing up. It’s a great time on the Lower Sacramento and it’s only going to get better. With the way the water situation is shaping up it’s looking like we may have one of the best spring seasons in history. The media may highlight the drought and it’s severe consequences but there are some upsides. The Lower Sac is one of them. Steelhead fishing on the Trinity River is the other. We are currently focused on our spring bookings and although were are not full, the holes are starting to fill in. Get your dates before it’s too late.
