Last week’s unsettled weather brought a mixture of rain, wind, sunshine, thunder, and hail. If you didn’t like the weather, all you had to do was wait ten minutes. The cooling trend brought down water temps to 53 to 56, but as of today they are on the rise again ranging from 57 to 60 degrees. It also put a slight halt to the hatches. All this will change once we get...

Wow, where has this year gone, April was EPIC, May was here and gone with some more great fishing, now we are in June and the fishing is really good too. I know I say this a lot, but you should really be out on the water and enjoying some great fishing.

Here is your Local June Fishing Report:

Lower Sac Shad

The shad fishing around Chico has been really good this week. The fish have just started showing up so expect things to get thick and heavy here the next two or three weeks. Go find your favorite shad bar near Chico and you should be able to find some willing fish. Best shad times around Chico is from 4PM to 8PM. Once the light starts getting really...

George, in the high country camping out at Lake Davis. It’s so gorgeous out!

Writing this report from my phone, so I’ll keep it short. Take care!

The Truckee River is fishing good, both on top and in the canyon. When I can get two rookies into 7 fish, with the biggest being a 22" rainbow, it’s really good. High sticking and indo rigs are dominating. Same old...

The shad are showing up in good numbers in Chico. Expect the next 4-5 weeks to have good shad fishing on the Sacramento River. Expect the warm sunny days to produce the best shad results. With the shad showing up expect the striper fishing to slow down until the end of June. When there are lots of shad in the river the stripers become hard to catch as there is lots...

Lower Sac

Striper fishing - Fishing lower in the river by Colusa is good. There are large schools of migratory fish around and of course there are crowds. Crowds like most of us can not imagine. I personally stay away with regards to guiding but if you want to get out and catch some fish for the cooler or can handle the chaos it can be a good day. There are a few...

The Truckee River is fishing pretty well right now, and the flows are dropping into shape. The Glenshire stretch is at 220 cubes, and the upper canyon is running at 625 cfs, a tad higher down by Floriston. With higher flows, fish the side water first before venturing out. All of the fish last week were in deeper slower water next to the main flow/seam. Flesh Juan...

The Feather continues to fish well from Oroville down to Gridley. Fish are still evenly spread throughout the system. There are lots of half pounders this year in the 15-18" range. Finding the larger adult size fish has been challenging. There are a few around if you fish it enough and cover lots of water. The best fishing is from Sunrise till about 1PM. Once that...

So, the weather is all over the place…imagine that it is spring in Nor-Cal. Brings me back to days when we actually had a spring. 80 degrees and gorgeous to 55 cold and rainy in the span of 48 hours. Makes for interesting fishing this really optimistic attitude for May through September to be honest. Last year about this time weather was gorgeous, and had been for a...

Northern Sierra Fishing Report ~ Lake Davis ~ Middle Fork Feather River ~ Truckee River

Lake Davis

Transition time for myself is under way, the Lower Yuba River is in the rear view mirror, and the Northern Sierra awakens. First stop, Lake Davis. The spawn is on yet many of the east side feeder creeks are drying up. Look for the creeks that...
