Neil and Ethan needed a trout fix after chasing Trinity River steelhead and opted to fish the lower Sac for a couple of days. Not just any two days but October 30 and 31st - typically the heart of prime time for river’s largest rainbows gorging on salmon roe. The river fished well although, certainly not on fire, and the usually aggressive takes through redds were often replaced by subtle twitches. Despite very low salmon numbers, egg patterns still got the fish to eat, accounting for all but a couple of rainbows. Success ultimately depended on making multiple passes through prime lies and changing depth and flies often. Persistence paid off though, and, on both days led us towards the ramp with another fish in the net.
