What To Expect:	The upper Sac. has excellent access via. Hwy 5 and by walking the railway tracks. September is typically warmer, so plan to fish early and take a long lunch break followed by fishing the afternoon dry fly hatch. Euro/High Stick/Indicator Nymphing is the go to. Come prepared with plenty of water to drink and expect to walk a fair amount. The river is made up of riffles, runs, pocket water, small holes, huge pools and undercuts.
Special Considerations:	In addition to this being a traditional Fishout, I propose that if there are any members of the club who are familiar with the Upper Sac. to volunteer as a mentor during the Fishout to those in the club with little to no experience. Groups of 2-3 novice anglers per mentor. This will help to add to the experience and allow others to get to know the river.
