HOT BITES...
1.
SACRAMENTO RIVER ‘BOWS
Wild rainbows to 3 lbs are on a very consistent
bite. Fly guys score with nymphs and glo bugs while
conventional anglers rely on roe and plugs.
“When I am
fishing a frog or
flipping matted
vegetation, I
am throwing the
new X-TCB 8
Carrier Braided
Line form P-Line.
It is critical to
be stealthy with
both techniques,
and with P-line’s
new braid, you
can make longer
casts and it is
ultra quiet com-
ing through the
grass.”
