Lower Sacramento Fly Fishing Report

Dave Neal Reports on 7.30.2015

Fishing has been great on the Lower Sac this week. My favorite time to be on the river right now is around 5-9pm. As soon as that sun gets behind the trees and the shadows grow out over the water it gets noticeably more comfortable and the fishing seems to be better. It’s been hot this week but the summer caddis are in their element. Looking ahead, August can be a fantastic month to float the Lower Sac. Nights are getting longer and that sunset is coming a little earlier each week.

Long anticipated Posse Grounds section of the L Sac will re-open August 1st, which is this Saturday. It will be great to be able to fish the entire river and this will improve some of our evening float options. Salmon Season will open below Deschutes Bridge as well. Look for increased jet boat activity on that section of river from now until fall season.

Open dates for the coming weeks are: August 5, 6, 20, 21, 23, 28, 30, 31
