Upper Sacramento River… no bonefish

Up at my folks place for a few days.  My daughter went down for her nap, I went down to the river (grandma was at home, I didn’t just leave her there alone!).

Happy to be hitting the water, even in the rain.

It was raining, the parking lot was empty and I had the river all to myself… except for the dog, down by the river, that came down and followed me around  for a bit.

One think I know is that no matter how long I have my bonefish fixation, I’ll never know a piece of water as well as I know this piece of water.  This is my favorite run on the river I’ve fished hundreds of times.  I only had 2 hours, but landed 12 fish.  11 on  a size 14 Eng Theng (like a prince and a PT had a love child) and one on an October Caddis dry (I was fishing a dry/dropper rig).

Nice little Upper Sac Bow

November on the Upper Sac.

The leaves have mostly fallen, the river is empty.  Love it.

There were no bonefish today… but I expected that.
