It's fishing hard for everyone, but mid-rivers seems to offer the best chances. The water temp in Dunsmuir is 42 degrees (low, but not enough to wholly stop the fish), and the real problems seems to be the lack of bugs. Ah well. Wayne and I talked all week long about the river.

And it sure beat the alternative (wading through emails). It was my first winter fishing on the Upper Sac and it was magical. A micro mayfly landed the one (15"), but another broke my line (probably my bad knot) after a small fight and a third gave me a nice flash before spitting out my hook. Crisp, then warm and ultimately wet after I slipped and took a little bath. No better place to be. Thanks, Wayne. Thanks, Tom, for turning me on to Wayne via this blog.

Easily the lightest 8.5' 5wt cane rod I've ever hefted. Pictures and a report coming soon. I wouldn't consider giving it to you, but if you want short circuit Jim's waiting period we could talk.. 8-) Ahh, the Reams rod. Easily the lightest 8.5′ 5wt cane rod I’ve ever hefted.

So tell me, you do not like the Reams and you're going to give it to me. Or it's just too much cane for you to handle and you're going to give it to me. Or you really like the rod, but you're still going to give it to me. Would you consider giving it to me? Thought not. Guess I'm going to have to wait for Chris to finish up my Quad Rod... “You sit in the sun, cast a fine new bamboo rod (more on that next week)”
