This year has been a crazy wet mess so I hope all of you have stayed safe and dry while mother nature shows us her fury. With this wet season, most of you know it has left almost all of Northern California blown out and too high to fish. With more coming down, it doesn’t look like the Sac Valley will clear up anytime soon. However, there has been a glimmer of hope,...

So, if you have read any of the fishing reports you are probably already under the realization that most everything is blown out…That amount of water that has come down the Lower Yuba and Lower Sacramento is incredible. Outside of Chico the Sac got up to 115,000cfs and the Yuba got up to 81,000cfs (as of 9 Jan)…those are river channel changing flows. New runs,...

Lower Sac- The Sac continues to fish average for winter conditions. Most days we are hooking 20ish rainbows from Redding down to Anderson. As typical we have been catching some true slugs out of the river this winter. Winter time we might not catch as many fish as the spring or the fall but if you are into hunting for big rainbows then it doesn’t really get any...

Trinity River:

Clarity: Good to getting perfect

Flows:
Lewiston - 300cfs steady
Bucktail - 500cfs and dropping
Douglas City - 775cfs and dropping
Junction City - 1600cfs and dropping

Wow, the past few weeks on the Trinity have been extremely good to Nor Cal Fly Guides clients. While others have been working hard to find fish, we have consistently hooked a half a dozen...

Lower Feather River

River is fishing fair. The quality of fishing really depends on finding fresh water…aka fish that haven’t been caught or fished over. Tough to do during the weekends and on holidays. There are a few fresh fish but not many as fishing tends to taper off during the end of November. Highest concentrations of fish are in the Low Flow and swinging...

Ryan Johnston Reports 11.24.16

The Lower Sac is fishing average for this time of year. With the slower start to the Trinity the Sac is still seeing lots of pressure for this time of year. The upper parts of the river are putting out some big fish still but the numbers of chances are down and strikes are super fast. Most days right now on the upper river we are hooking about 25 fish per day. You can...

Lower Sac Stripers:Fishing has slowed dramatically but the river is fishable and the big fish are the ones that are eating…I mean really big. This is when you may fish all day for one grab but it will be a true trophy. I fished last week when the weather was warmer and caught plenty of 3-8lb fish and had one...

Lower Sacramento Striper fishinghas been good if you can really pick your day and time. With the weather swings of the last week, I wouldn’t say I would take anyone’s money to go out as the weather changes really affect the fishing but if you can pick your day and hit right fishing can be...

Ryan Johnston Reports:

The Feather River is having a decent start to the season. It is still early in the season but things are setting up nicely over there. There are plenty of salmon and are just starting to get on redds. So expect things to star improving there in the next couple of weeks. Quite a few steelhead are still dialed into bugs so don’t be afraid to fish some nymphs below your eggs....
