Some large fish are moving up out of Shasta into the upper reaches of the Upper Sac to head to their spawning locations. October Caddis are still around and fish will eat swung pupas. Look for Caddis to come off in the mid day through evenings, throw #14 & 16 Elk Hair Caddis and dark Missing Links to rising fish. Blue Wing Olives and midges will be good nymphs to try in the mornings, olive and black X-Mays and S&Ms along with the BP Weiss Nymph and Olive Hotspots.
