AC Fly Fishing Reports on 12.1.2016

Unfortunately, there’s not much good to report on either of these rivers. Both the Klamath and Trinity have had low returns of Steelhead this year. It looks like the compounded years of drought in Northern California are finally catching up with us. We had some pretty successful fishing early in the season over on the Trinity but the fish that did show up early...

Brian Clemens Reports 11.24.16

Well recent rains of done great things for the local fishing here in Sacramento, however, its done some even better things up on the Trinity River.
Despite the hype (poor fishing conditions), we have been doing pretty darn well considering the reports. We are finding a good number of adults on a daily basis, ranging from 22-30", and have seen a few hooked over 30"....

Fishing on the Upper Trinity River for steelhead has continued to be very scratchy this week. Simply put… there are not a lot of fish concentrated right now anywhere in particular - but there are a few, here and there. Gotta get lucky and find them.

The fish that have come into the upper river over the past few weeks are spread throughout from Lewiston to Douglas City...

The reality for most anglers is the Trinity River has been fishing pretty scratchy these past few weeks. There’s simply not many fish around most days and the ones that are in the system won’t stop swimming! Perhaps there are more fish from Indian Creek upriver to Lewiston than in JC right now?

We received a ton of rain in October (is there such a thing as too much of...

\Reports from clients and guides alike have been that fishing is pretty spotty. Numbers range from getting skunked to 5 or 6 “hookups” a day nymphing. 

Last weekend Jon Baoicchi was out with Jason Cockrum:

At last, a vacation for myself on the Trinity River after grinding it out for 8 plus months. It started last Friday as I made the journey to Weaverville where my long time guest, and buddy Dave...

Look for the Trinity flows to spike particularly in the lower stretches. If I were fishing the Trinity this weekend into the week I would fish the upper river near lewiston. The fish are hitting the hatchery already with reports of some very large fish (40+ inches) expect fishing to be great as the flows return to normal. 

Reports for the past week have been that the fish are in but fishing is...

AC Fly Fishing Reports 10.13.2016

The highly anticipated “egg drop” has yet to really happen this Fall. There are VERY FEW Salmon in the system this year.. Which shouldn’t be much of a surprise when you consider the reckless water management that has occurred over the past 5 years. You cant’t leave salmon redds, loaded with eggs, a foot out of water every year and expect to see salmon return to the...

Feather River

• Rating: Good to Great
  
• Flow: 800cfs in Low Flow
  
• Temp: mid 50’s
  
• Clarity: Clear
  

The Feather has really turned on in the past week, and that’s mainly due to the large push of salmon over the past few weeks. With many redds being built, and even a few salmon paired up and more salmon showing up, its only going to get better. We are seeing some quality...

Brian Clemen’s Reports on 9.29.2016

Over the past few weeks, the fish in Nor Cal has really turned on. The salmon are showing up in good numbers, some are starting to spawn and you know what that means, “EGG BITE TIME”. With cooler temps to come, the fishing will only get better, hard to believe as the fishing is pretty darn good right now.

I just had  Oct 3,4,5 open up! Prime dates!

Fall fishing season is just around the corner. The days are noticeably shorter now and the nights are getting cooler. In the early morning hours around daybreak there’s been a “changing of the seasons” feel in the air this week. Some of the best fishing in Nor-Cal happens during the fall season… get ready to get after it! 

Many...
