Fishing is Fair: I stopped by to pay a visit to Bob Grace at the Ted Fay Fly Shop www.tedfay.com yesterday and on the way up, I stopped at several of the access points to get an idea as to how fishable it is right now. Though most of the river is running a little too high for wading, there are a few sections that look OK. Soda Creek for one, looked like there were a few spots that were wadeable. I think that if the water drops about another two feet there will be plenty of areas that are wadeable. By the way, Soda Creek and other tributaries looked very fishable.

General Fly Recomendations For the Upper Sac
Small mayfly (Blue Wing Olives) and midge patterns are the go to bugs on top. Caddis Pupa (ie. Foxes Poopah/tan or olive) and size #18 and smaller olive Mayfly pattern or midges are good down below. Cripple October Caddis may still work on top as will Orange pupa patterns down below. For streamers, woolybuggers, intruders, and leaches work well.
