Lower Sacramento River out side of chico, Ca - Shad fishing remains good with some bigger fish in the mix. Best bite has been 4pm to about 7pm. Concentrate on fishing areas where fish concentrate - Slots, choke points, etc. Big open flats or gravel bars can produce but they do not concentrate schools of fish so it can be a crap shoot.

water bass fishing on the river has been good as well. The bigger bass
seem to have gotten a little more wary but plenty 1-3lbs spotted bass,
Largemouth bass, and a few smallmouth bass are willing to come up and
smack a frog popper or small crease fly. The “fry emergence” is heavy in
most slough and back waters and fishing smaller unweighted bait fish
patterns around “fry balls” can get some of the bigger bass that are not
coming up for frog patterns as readily.
Striper
fishing is picking up as the shad thin out and the smaller stripers
that can’t fit a shad down their gullet are starting to eat more
readily. Striper fishing should really get going over the next few weeks
and we should see another great summer of striper fishing.
