Last week my buddy and I hit the Big Bend area of the Lower Sac in our pontoons. The river was at about 5000 CFS, and we were on it between the windy days--very good conditions. Many small, dark caddis, and some skwala on the surface. Lots of rising fish in riffles and flats in the afternoon. We took plenty fish on the surface. Some fun. If you want to get your pontoon boat wet, this is a pretty easy drift; about 9 miles from upper to lower bridge (with takeouts), and not very crowded. Many good spots to get out and wade, too.
