Lower Sacramento River Fly Fishing Report

River Striper fishing has been good. Water temps are down in the low 50s and with stable weather there is fish eating every day. This is not the summer or even early fall where fish will feed all day. Most fish feed for a 30-45 minute window and we are having to fish hard all day to find that window. That said we are getting some very nice fish. This time of year is definitely a Quality over Quantity time of year, and those that fish hard throughout the day and stay focused are rewarded. Multiple fish over 20lbs have been hooked or landed in the last few weeks and fishing should remain this way until the weather makes a big shift or change. 

Many of the rivers are dropping and at their lowest flows of the year so only experienced boaters are recommended on the water this time of year.
