I know of a certain individual who will remain anonymous, that in fact caught a real brown trout on the Sac. Now, up until recently, all anglers agreed that brown trout would be an excellent companion species on the Lower Sac. Once planted in the river back during the 1940's, the brown trout failed to thrive in the river. Enter todays angler. Acute senses and cat like reflexes summarize the best anglers on the "Sac". What does that have to do with anything? Well, I know of one angler who did in fact produce a brown trout to hand on the Lower Sacramento River. Acute and cat like is in there somewhere along with all the mighty rainbows befallen by his hand. Thanks for sharing Nick!!!

I have used this fly on many of the rivers you mentioned. I read this post as I sit in my hotel room after 3 days of standing in line at Disneyland. Enduring the long lines and screaming kids everywhere, I long for the peaceful sound the river below my boots and the beautiful music of my reel screaming with the weight of a 10lb native buck at the end of my line. Whether it's on a 9 foot or my sweet new switch rod...is really of no matter to me! Floss Rubber, Silver Hilton or articulating black leech is of no concern either... Just being there in the healing waters is all that matters. looking forward to seeing you in a couple weeks! Sean Chris,
