AC Fly Fishing Reports on 11.27.2015

Lower Sacramento River

Typically, the winter months on the Lower Sac show us some of the biggest fish of the year. We don’t always catch big numbers of fish during the winter but we do tend to hook a few fish each winter that barely fit in the net. Baetis hatches in December and January can also provide some really fun mid-day dry fly fishing. Expect a lot of...

Feather River

As always this is where I am spending most of my time. The fishing is a bit more consistent than a few weeks ago with the recent rains, but the fishing pressure is still there. The steelhead should keep pouring in, well should I say trickle in over the next few weeks, which will set up for some great winter fishing. We have been seeing bigger fish...

Trinity River Fly Fishing Report

Leslie Ajari Reports on 11.5.2015
The last five days on the Trinity have been great. I spent a few days on the lower section of the river swinging flies and working with clients on spey casting technique. While there didn’t seem to be as many fish in this section of the river, it was nice to get out of the crowds and mayhem of the upper river. We even hooked into a few nice fish.  Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the upper/middle river the nymph grab was on. The small amount of rain we got on Saturday has brought in a fresh pulse of grabby fish. There were a quality amount of adult steelhead caught this weekend. The only downside was the crowds. As November progresses we should see the fish spreading out more along with the hordes of anglers. 

Mat Squilante Reports:

I was up around Junction the last two days and so were what seemed like a large swarm of extremely eager guides and others dashing to the river. I went below Helena to avoid the crowd and saw one fish in a deep pool but got caught up on a rock and spooked him. It was a big 32-36" fish. I got skunked all day Saturday. I did notice some odd rises which seemed like sizable fish...

Trinity River

The flows on the Trinity River are down to 300 cfs and will remain there until Mother Nature cooperates in the form of rain. The lower flows are making it a little more difficult for the drift boats, but rafts and wade fishermen are having no problems. The good news is that the fishing is excellent, with steelhead being hooked...

Jon Baiocchi report on 10.29.2015

Here is my vacation report, Jason Cockrum is the man, as is Dave Neal - two super guys who have excellent PR skills! I’m still daydreaming about those steelhead. Holy shit dude, fantastic!

My buddy Dave got a hold of me this past summer and wanted to hook into a steelhead and book a trip on the Trinity River, I combined his desire with an early 50th birthday...

While I have not been getting reports from  my guides on the trinity I have been getting some great reports on fishing from clients. The fish are in and the river is fishing great. It’s busy out there but you can find your own water from pretty easily. Just head down below Del Loma. Skating is still a possibility with current temps.

The Trinity has been fishing well from Lewiston down to Willow Creek. Most Anglers have been focusing on the Junction city area.

Flies: Golden Stones, Rubber legs, Copper Johns, and Egg Patterns will do the trick.

If you are a swinger try dries in the morning and evenings otherwise find some shade and swing a black leach.

Feather River:

Despite what you may hear the Feather is fishing pretty good right now. Over the past 2 weeks the number of steelhead in the system has increased dramatically and we are seeing a good number of steelhead from 12"-26", most are 16-22". Not only are there more steelhead, we are seeing a large number of salmon starting to spawn. Most are staging and...

Brian Clemens Reports on 8.27.2015

Fishing on the Trinity has been pretty darn good as of late, with the opportunity to hook into a good number of large summer run steelhead, a ton of half pounders as well as some browns and an occasional salmon. All fishing techniques can be used to target these fish, from throwing dries, to indicator fishing, but by far the most fun and rewarding is swinging,...
