The Big Bend area on the Lower Sac is generally below Anderson and Cottonwood, on the way down to Red Bluff, where the river twists and turns its way through the hills north and east of Red Bluff. Take the Jelly's Ferry offramp from I-5, and head east. Stay on Jelly's Ferry Rd. and you'll soon arrive at the Big Bend Bridge, which has a put in. Continue north on the road another 9-10 miles, you'll come to another bridge on Ash Creek Rd, and there's another put in there. It's about a nine mile drift between the bridges. Head west from there, and you eventually come to Cottonwood on Ball's Ferry Rd. There's another put in on River View Dr., on the west side of the river, about halfway between the two bridges. Consult your DeLorme, or use Google Earth for mileages and road names. I would guess that best flows are between 5-7000 cfs, the lower the better if you want to get out and wade. Very uncrowded during the week.
