Lower Sac: , by Andrew Harris: Hopper/Dropper madness: 4 stars

I did a no-bobber trip today on the Lower Sac with guest Mike from Carson City.  We put some time in chasing steelhead in the morning to no avail and had some limited trout-spey action.  The highlight of the day was an entire afternoon of productive dry/dropper fishing.  We caught fish mainly in the 10 to 16" range on a hopper/dropper rig throughout the afternoon.  Today was the first day I've really seen the mayflies pouring out of the choppy riffles.  The fish weren't quite ready to eat on the surface, but they were eager to jump on a small mayfly nymph!  It's great to see some heavy hatches starting up.  We have another TWO WEEKS of dry weather in the forecast.  Book a trip soon for some great trout action on one of our valley tailwaters!
