I am from NorCal but it has been some time since I have done some fishing up there. My brother wants to go but has no idea were. We grew up fishing Stumpy meadows, Icehouse, Union Valley and many others in the area. I have gotten very little information on how the bite is up there for rainbows. I do realize i is summer and it will be hit or miss. I read that Clear lake is good for Cats and Crappie. Also that the Sac river still has a few strippers in it. I suppose my question is whats my best option here to get on the fish? I will be home 11 days and really willing to go as far as Truckee. Thanks again.
