Ty's Take

The Sacramento Mountains are running cold enough now that the trout are moving back into the shallows, and that means the next six weeks are about as good as it gets around here if you know where to drop a line. Fall's the season when folks who've been sitting out the summer heat remember why they moved to this part of the basin in the first place, and half of them will be up there chasing cutthroat before the weekend. The water clarity's improving too, which is always a double-edged thing, because it makes the fish spookier but also makes your day out there feel like you're doing something real instead of just casting hope into murk. If you haven't been up since June, now's when you dust off the gear.
