Upper Sac, N. CA

[MontanaMoose]

Well I had a good day Friday...got out before 1p, stayed till around 5p and hooked 4 'bows up to about 18", all on Joe V's gift of orange stimulators, rod was a Fenwick 5wt 2pc 8.5 ', gift from a friend on the RR here, the reel was a gift from a woodcutting friend here, the furled leader was a gift from our own 'Backcastwards', the backing came with the reel, the line was one of the 7wt Green Mt. from Orvis that I bought a year ago.

I put the combo together to honor those friends that thought to give to another and will fish it all the while I'm here.

Did sheetrock yesterday and was getting in the car to go to the lake to try for smallies....same outfit....and the RR bud's call came and he had to jet to the yo at K. Falls.

I'll be here till around the 3rd so anyone close is welcome to get in touch for a day on the water. Been wet wading and not bad south of me but under the dam is a bit nippy and I spend most time walking, taking potshots at easy runs with gravel bars or very shallow. not bad though, day temp today will go 70+ again...

Cheers,

MontanaMoose

Thanks jimsnarocks, hadn't ever looked at that website...found a few posts about the upper sac too...prolly met some of those ppl today and Friday....was 'sposed to go to the lake but went to Dunsmuir instead...hooked two, only had to release the
larger one...'bout a 15-16 bow of course. Lots of ppl
but I don't mind...saw a guide friend there from OR that
I hadn't for a while. Great day....went about 76 in town.


Thanks again Jim

I've fished that area from Shasta to Whiskey and some creeks and ponds with a nephew who lives in Redding. Hope you visit Castle Crags while you're there. Jim

[MontanaMoose]

Well I usually stay pretty close to the house....did good today above Dunsmuir...several different places. Do you mention the Crags for any particular reason? I've been there a number of times over the years including truckin' over the hill to Weaverville that way. Fun drive.

Cheers,

Just mentioned it as a place to visit and an access to the Sacramento river above and below Castella on the frontage road. Good luck up there. Jim

[MontanaMoose]

Oh, ok...by the old wrecking yard...I've fished around there a couple of times. Thanks Jim, I'm havin' a great time up here. Let me know when you might come up. The river is open year round now of course.

Cheers,

I left Dunsmuir on Thursday morning! I guess we missed each other again Moose. Darn, one of these days we'll get it right.

Well dang ! Yep, one of these days....I'll be here till about the 3rd unless it threatens a bunch of snow. Got trout yesterday in Duns...stopped by Ted Fay's Fly Shop...having a great time in spite of sheetrock, yardwork and painting etc.

Next time Rich...shoot me a pm ahead of time...I'm
free to move about the country !

Cheers,

MontanaMoose

P.S. We both missed a 'boo
event in Dunsmuir, F, S & S
and I fished right through it,
din't even know it was on !

[crook33]

Fished the Upper and Lower Sac, Fall and McCloud while i was there. Weather was too nice. Best of luck to you. I should come help you with your sheetrock. I've been in the business for 30 years!!
