Fly Fishing the Sacramento River.

I have heard legendary stories about fishing the Sacramento River. There are more than 60 species of fish in there. Some native. Some not. But many are fishable - from sturgeon to trout to salmon.  I went for the first time, in search of trout. I was NOT disappointed.

I needed a guide. To fish the mighty Sac you need a drift boat. Besides, my guide knows the river inside and out. He knows right where the runs are, where underwater hazards are, where the fish hold and the right set up to hook 'em.

I went with Kirk Portocarerro, guide and owner of Sac River Fly Guide http://www.sacriverguide.com.

We had a great time. Kirk knows the river and was a great coach. Besides, I was shooting for my new TV show "Fly Fishing West" http://www.flyfishingwest.com - and I needed a guide that had a great personality and was good on camera.

I want to write about our fishing experience, but seeing and hearing what our day was like might be much more affective. So check out a clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tg3p9LQllc.

Enjoy - and "tight lines".
