I enjoyed the last two days on the river with cousins Paul and Mark from the Bay Area.  The weather was HOT and it seemed to zap the fishing a little bit.  On Monday we floated from the Posse Grounds to Sac RV Park.  Other than a flurry of good fishing after lunch, the nymphing was pretty tough.  The fish seemed to like an olive anato-may size 14 the best.  Today was a very interesting day.  We floated way down low and had some unusual fishing opportunities.  The nymphing continued to be slow, but we were fortunate to be able to cast dries and swing nymphs to rising fish for about 3 hours mid day.  They were rising to small mayfly spinners and the occasional micro-caddis.  We fooled some with a parachute adams size 18 and an olive comparadun size 16.  A copper john or bh baetis nymph worked well on the swing, too.  The rising fish were hard-fighting 15" rainbows.  The highlight of our dry fly fishing came when Paul was fishing a chernobyl ant with a dropper nymph and missed a huge grab on the dry!  It took us all by surprise.  Later in the day Mark landed a wild 20" bow that almost got eaten by a giant striper.  Salmon were rolling in all the big runs and Mark almost landed one about 15 pounds in the afternoon.  Our best nymph today was a size 16 prince.
