Upper Sacramento Updates

Early morning and late evening dry fly on the Upper is still going through the summer. With the shorter days we are seeing the temps drop on the lower end of the river down by the lake, the highs are hovering around 65 F. You should bring a thermometer if you plan to fish below Simms to be safe. Good dry fly fishing continues in the morning and late evenings. The dark Missing Link in #14-16 and some Chubby Chernobyls in #8 are good options along with your Adams in #14 - 18. Fish are eating Duracells, Frenchies, Walt's Worm and just about any well-presented Perdigon. Fish them under Chubby Chernobyls and you can pick up a fish or two on the Chubby. Good BWO and a few PMDs are coming off. Look for your best chances at dry fly towards dark. Fish up around Dunsmuir and you should have a good day!
