3/10....Mike is somewhat new to flyfishing although what he lacks in experience he more than makes up for in desire and passion. Mikes success on the lower Sac has been sporadic but today he had many solid hook ups and plenty of fish to the boat. Each new hook up was an adventure but the action offered plenty of valuable experience. We landed a few nice ones along the way too.

...3/8/12...Rex and Brian are from the bay area and both fairly good fishermen with a lot of personality and humor. Retro-rock, old movies/TV and fishing dominated the conversation. Again the beautiful spring weather treated us well and we hooked and released about 15 fish from 8 to 17 inches We even caught a nice squawfish:-). The scene above was exciting but we never got any closer to this lunker that Rex fought and eventually lost. The air came out of our collective baloon when his line went limp. The evening before the float trip we met on the upper Sac and although we got a late start we did manage to release a couple.

3/2/12...... Ahhhh Spring! The water was low and the fishing was good and Bryan and Jim and I floated from Bonnyview to Balls Ferry. It ws a bit cool when we started out but it turned into a nice day. The guys could fish pretty well and we hooked quite a few. The magic fly seemed to be the 'Curt's nest'. We seemed to land the medium sized ones but the larger fish stayed at a distance on this day. We hooked them but they had other ideas. Bryan and Jim were both great to fish with as Bryan McMurry shared many stories from his life and his book "It' Not About the Fish". I recommend it as it was a easy and captivating read and it appears we have a lot in common.

2/26/12...... The day started out cold and breezy but it didn't seem to bother the fish. Tim and 'Hot Hand' Rob had consistent action pretty much all day and even had some dry action late in the afternoon. Rob certainly had the hot and and at one poinythe hooked 6 while standing at the head of one riffle. The big fish of the day pictured above went to Rob also; a hard fighting 17 incher.
Tim and Rob are both good casters and they were rewarded with at least 20 fish including the small fish of the day, also Robs, a 2" beauty that could barely get little mayfly in its mouth. We had a good laugh at that one.
After a cooler morning the breeze settled down and things warmed up a bit and the afternoon produced some excellent action. Most of the fish were in the 12 to 14 inch range with a few other surprises in the 16 to 17 inch range.

2/10/12....... I had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with a couple of terrific guys (class acts all the way).... Art and Bud had never met but wanted to fish and didn't have a partner so I hooked them up and as fishermen usually do, they got along fine and we all had a great time. We swapped stories about our fishing lives and enjoyed the scenery and excitement of hooking some beautiful fish. It was a cool drizzly day and we fished from the posse grounds to Anderson River Park. Fishing was just a bit slow but picked up as we got downstream a bit. We saw bald eagles, river otters, and all sorts of migratory waterfowl.... oh yeah and few nice fish too.
