Equipment & Rigging for the Upper American River
Fly Lines:
While most of the fishing on the Upper America River is best using a 5 weight fly line, we recommend using a 4 weight floating line and small dry flies for the tributaries and headwaters, and a 6 weight if using streamers and nymphs. A sinking tip fly line may even be desirable for fishing with streamers.
