I first fished with Jerry and Ben on Oregon’s John Day River dead center in the middle of nowhere. We ate well, drank good booze, and caught wild steelhead. This year, Ben pulled his boat north and Jerry, Lincoln, and Jim all met ready to fish the lower Sac for a couple of days. Keeping with tradition, the foursome closed down the local steakhouse and everyone still felt a bit sideways at the ramp. The river fished well on Thursday, even better Friday with the big fish taped at 20”. Everyone but Jim had floated the river before and had experienced the strength and beauty of it’s rainbows. Yet, the effectiveness of a #6 brown rubberlegs came as a surprise. Recently, a good friend and State of California biologist forwarded the above photo that speaks volumes to the importance of stoneflies to Sac rainbows. Impressive!
