The Lower Sac continues to fish very well.  Randy Hamann and I enjoyed a great day of scouting.  We had a wide-open dry fly grab from noon to 4pm.  There was a mix of PMDs, March Browns, and caddis.  I also got to try out my new Echo Dec Hogan 4wt spey rod.  The whole idea behind this purchase was to get a spey rod that could easily cast 70+ feet and make a 12" trout feel like a good fish.  I was very pleased with how this rod fit the bill.  I matched it with a Scandi Compact 300 grain head and a 10ft fast-sinking versileader.  It cast this set-up beautifully.  I hooked about a dozen fish with it and had a blast.  A 12" trout feels just as big on this rod as on my 6wt single-hand rods.  This 4wt spey rod is a great tool for covering water quickly with traditional swing techniques.
