The Upper Sacramento River - One of the Best In The West!
http://www.adventuresinflyfishing.com/uppersac.htm:
"Located within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the Upper Sacramento River may be one of the best 'roadside' fisheries in the West. Just try to convince us here at The Fly Shop any different and you'll most likely be in for a longwinded conversation. Despite the nearly 40 miles of easily accessible water there are over 15 freeway exits and railroad tracks that parallel the length of the river the Upper Sac remains surprisingly lightly fished. In fact, anglers willing to hike even a mere 10 minutes along the railroad tracks from almost any access spot will find themselves fishing water that remains relatively untouched for most of the year.
The 'Upper Sac' is freestone fishing at its best. The river is made up of riffles, runs, pocket water, small holes, huge pools and undercuts, all of which provide anglers with opportunities to fish dry flies, a variety of nymphing techniques, or even streamers, all in a day's fishing. Rainbows are the predominate fish in these waters, and most are healthy, wild, and native to the river system. They are full of fight, and usually go straight up in the air when they feel the prick of a fly in their lip. "
================
Can't think of a better place to fish than this.
Easy Access, plenty of variety in fishing conditions, and little to know fishing pressure....WOW!
