Memorial Day Weekend Weather on Upper Sacramento River: Better for Fishing Than Barbecuing

by Tom Chandler on May 24, 2008

Memorial Day weekend’s the traditional start of the summer season (so hurry on up and spend those tourist dollars). Sadly, for vacationers, the weather’s not great.

For fly fishermen, it’s not bad at all:

The cooler weather has dropped the Upper Sacramento flows to very fishable levels (careful, looks like it might be spiking). (The headhunters among you might recognize this as worthwhile Streamer Weather.)

It’s drizzling as I write this (Saturday am). I spent yesterday on a small stream whose name and location I am not going to disclose. Report coming soon.

See you on Memorial Day, Tom Chandler.
