Fishing continues to be great on the Lower Sac and should still be a top pick for Nor Cal, but don’t forget about the Upper Sac because it is also kicking out some great fishing! Labor Day weekend, on the Lower Sac, greeted us with some pleasant weather & big Rainbows, but we also had to deal with lots of jet skiers. The temps soared back up to the high 90s today...

Upper Sacramento River

As I was guiding on the Upper Sac the other day, the wind blew and a bunch of leaves were flying off the branches, this reminded me that fall is coming and brought a smile to my face! Fall is my favorite time of year to be on the Upper Sac and better yet, all the nor cal rivers. The fishing is starting to pick up on the Upper Sac and the temps...

The Lower Sac this week has continued to fish great and should not be missed out on. It is definitely a go to river right now in Nor Cal. These Lower Sac rainbows know how to fight; they will give even the best fish fighters a run for their money! Fishing has been best for me mid morning to dark. Expect the caddis to really get going in the afternoons and evenings...

UPPER SACRAMENTO FLY FISHING REPORT

John Rickard at Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 8.4.2016

The Upper Sac has been fishing really well and many anglers are finding success right through the town of Dunsmuir as well as the lower stretches near Lake Head. The mid day is hard to navigate around the swimmers and tubers so its best to fish in the mornings and late evenings. These days, the fish prefer a bit of shade on the water before they start feeding.

Brian Theriot Reports on 7.14.2016

The beautiful Upper Sacramento River has been putting up a good defense right now and the fishing has been tough, but if you are going to fish this river, the best times have been early morning and late evening. Good hatches have been coming off right before dark and that is your best time for dry fly fishing. Wet wading has been battling the hot temps, so be sure...

We have been seeing some nice fish coming off of the Northern California Rivers. As we move in to the warmer months fishing gets tougher for those who don’t know where to find fish. 

here are some tips for our Northern California Rivers

• Morning and evening are likely going to be the most productive times of the day. 
  
• Fish the faster more oxgentated water.
  
• Fish shady spots and deeper water. 
  
• Fish pocket...

Upper Sac

If your planning on coming up to the upper sac, you might as well leave those waders at home! This river is perfect for wet wading and the temps are suppose to jet up into the 90s by Saturday and even up to the hundreds by early next week. The fishing has been best mornings and evenings and the nymphing game has been good. Nymphs to try: prince...

McCloud & Upper River Fishing Report

Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 6.9.2016

The McCloud River and Upper Sacramento are both fishing very well. Expect slow times of the day as well as moments of brilliance as the trout are looking up and eating dries. PMDs Drakes and Golden Stones are all on the menu.

Brian “Bucko” Theriot reports on 6.9.2016

The Upper Sac and the McCloud have been fishing great and the flows and weather have been perfect for wet wading! Expect to bring a full arsenal of dries, nymphs, and soft hackles, because the fish are looking up, down, and side to side! Expect the best dry fly action in the evenings, but don’t count out mid day dry fly action. Golden Stones, yellow...

Bucko Theriot Reports on 5.26.2016

The fishing is good in Siskiyou County right now and should start to see the bugs get going again. The weather up here was pretty crazy the last couple days. We had thunderstorms and some heavy downpours while on the river. The golden-stones weren’t really out due to the weather, but with nice weather starting from today on should get them out in good numbers. The...
