Water Conditions:Good. Flows are good throughout the system, with the best water conditions from Cantara down to Simms. There's been a variety of different hatches, including #12 Gray Drakes and several other species of Mayflies including PMDs, and some decent caddis hatches in the evening. There are good numbers of salmonflies buzzing around in the canyon stretches, and fish are rising to the big dries!

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: Nymphing with P.T's, Micro Mayflies (black), Red Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, and Stonefly patterns in the pocket water and riffles has been producing some nice fish. Dry fly fishing is improving daily, with fish rising to stimulators in the middle of the day, and sipping PMDs, gray drakes, and caddis in the evenings.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??When nymphing on the Upper Sac, always use more weight than you think you need to get the flies down to the fish. If you're not ticking bottom from time to time (yes, this means losing a few flies), you're probably not getting down to where the fish are feeding.
