General Information: Fishing in this popular stream has been getting better and better as the weather has finally started to bless us with some cooler days. The forcast for the next couple of days is calling for a chance of rain that will also help to keep the trend in the right direction. We are keeping our eyes out for the start of the October Caddis hatch and the pupa will be an important fly to add to your box when it finally happens.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: This is the time of year that produces best early and late in the day.The old standards are always a good choice so break out one of those nymphs you have had success with in the past and give it another chance for glory. As the sunsets it will be time to switch to the caddis and pale evening duns to end the day with some dry fly action. Midges will be one of the goto patterns as we progress through August and into September.

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. This time of year small flies in the pocket water works best. If you're not ticking the bottom from time to time (yes, this means losing a few flies), you're probably not getting down to where the fish are feeding.
