Northern California Fly Fishing Report

Brian Clemens at Nor Cal Fly Guides Reports on 8.23.2017

American River:
Flows - 3600cfs
Clarity - Clear
Fishing - Fair to Good
The shad are finally gone, YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! This means that its time for striper fishing again, and it has been getting better over the past few weeks. We are seeing the typically shakers, but a few bigger fish from 3-7lbs have been hooked as well, this will continue though...

Norther Sierra Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 7.20.17

When it rains it pours, after a long winter without a guide trip for four months, business is booming. The influx of emails, calls, and inquiries off the street has been overwhelming. Being a sole independent guide that does not rely on others to fill trips has been rewarding, and my hard work for the last 20 years guiding is not only paying off, but now has a high...

Northern Sierra Fly Fishing Report

John Baiocchi Report on 7/6/2017

The surge of Africa hot weather a few weeks ago and continued warmer weather has water temps at both Lake Davis and Frenchman’s Lakeexcessively high with surface temps reaching 74 degrees. Its game over until fall, releasing trout when the water is that warm usually means it’s their last fight. One option at Lake Davis though is targeting bass for the next few...

Nor Cal Fly Fishing Report

Nor Cal Fly Guides Reports on 6.25.2017

Well this report comes to you a bit late, its not because of the great weather we have been having, but the great fishing we are having, but its better late then never. With the longest spring we have seen in years, getting out on local water has been a bit tough. Over the past few months almost all of my trips have been on the Lower Sac with a few on Putah....

Redding Area and Sierra Foothills Fly Fishing Report

Brian Clemens reports on 4.27.17

Hello Everyone,

WOW, what a start to the 2017 fishing season. All we can say is water, water, and more water. Oh, and more water to come. Hopefully the rainy season is behind us, and only good fishing to come.

This year has been a bit challenging, especially on local water. The opener on the American was the worst in years, the Feather was brown due to the damage to...

Lake Davis, Frenchman’s Reservoir, Middle Fork Feather Report

Lake Davisis about 80% iced out and access is very limited. The Taylorsville – Beckwourth road on the eastside is not plowed past the intersection where Lake Davis road meets. You’ll need snowshoes, cross country skis, or a snowmobile to reach areas like Coot Bay and Mallard Cove. Forget about launching a...

Yuba, Feather and Bass Fly Fishing Report

Hogan Brown reports on 3.9.17

While the Yuba, Feather, and Sac are dropping clarity and flow still remain issues.

The Yuba around 3500cfs is tempting as it seems to have the best clarity. I have guided/fished the Lower Yuba around 3500 and done very well, usually doing a double float between the bridge and Sycamore but from what I have heard Sycamore take out is not open yet so floating it is not an...

Sacramento Valley Fly Fishing Report

Hogan Brown reports on 3.2.17

Fishing has been tough but if you get out and look and the weather cooperates you can find some fishable water. For us north staters all the rivers are toast as most will report. I have heard that the Trinity and coast maybe opening up a bit but the Feather, Sac, Yuba are all pumping…I have been exploring our local bass lakes…Black Butte, East Park Reservoir, and...

Feather River Fly Fishing

Hogan Brown reports on 2.23.2017

All the rivers are still high and raging …. I have been getting out on the Oroville Afterbay for spotted bass and if the weather and conditions are timed right fishing can be decent. March and April are going to be reservoir and lake bass fishing I think for me for the most part. Oroville Afterbay, Clear Lake, Black Butte, Scotts Flat…smallies, spots, and largemouth...

Lower Sac, Feather and Yuba River Fly Fishing Report

Hogan Brown reports on 2.9.17

I am not going to dress it up…there isn’t a lot going on fishing wise. The Sac, Feather, and Yuba are ripping and flooding in some areas with the latest rain and there is more rain to come…. Personally, I haven’t been out on the water in over a month. Some of my buddies and fellow guides have been getting some days in on the Coast steelhead fishing between storms, some...
