Northern California: , by Andrew Harris: Opening Day is tomorrow: 3 stars

Opening Day of Trout Season is tomorrow.  Where did the winter go?  Well, the evidence of our huge winter is all around us in the form of lots of water.  Most of our rivers are on the high side if not totally unfishable.  The Upper Sac and Pit River are blown out.  We haven't been able to check on the McCloud yet.  Dax is up on Fall River today and he says it's pretty off-color.  As the weather warms this weekend you can expect it to get even more murky as snow in the Bear Creek drainage melts.  Hat Creek looks pretty good.  No word on Burney Creek yet.  North Battle Creek is clear but still too high to fish - in a couple of weeks it should be prime.  The Lower Sac is still flowing steady at 6000cfs and is fishing well.  It's scheduled to bump up to 7500cfs by May 3rd.
