AC Fly Fishing Reports on 12.3.2015

Fishing in Northern California is pretty damn good right now. We’ve got a little precipitation on the way which should bring a new batch of Steelhead up the Klamath and Trinity. Both rivers right now are low and clear, so a little bump in color and flow will be a good thing. There are good numbers of steelhead in the Klamath system this year. The Lower Sacramento...

The last cold snap sent water temps way down on the Klamath, we are now in winter steelhead mode with temps in the 40’s. With that, there are fish all over the river many being very bright and hard fighting.

The right flies in the right places are key to success. This is the time of year where the larger fish start to show up,...

Winter is here! Snowed most of the night and through this morning, giving the hills a beautiful new look.

Fishing continues to remain consistent, and water temps are most likely going to be in the low 50’s to high 40’s for a while. Don’t let that discourage, there are bright fish in the river, willing to eat the swung fly.

Had...

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...

We finally got some rain! Every drop counts up here on the Klamath, and we have been getting a few lately.

Water temps are hovering at the bottom of the 50’s, and are remaining pretty steady.

Swinging a deep and controlled fly has been producing some hard grabs, and as usual the right bugs in the right places drop that bobber under the surface.
I have extremely...

Life is good in the state of jefferson, and even better when on the water.
With colder temps, and snow on the high hills our water temps are steadily dropping. With that, it’s been time to break out the t-11 or 14 while swinging, and when bobber fishing a deep slow drift can produce takes.
The salmon spawn is about done, lots of dead kings returning the...

Fall is here in Jefferson. As of last night, Shasta has a fresh coat of white which is hopefully a sign of things to come. With rain come more steelhead.
The Klamath is rewarding good anglers with opportunities at Wild steelhead. Good drifts in the right places with the right flies, or a confident swing will produce a take. 

Later into the fall and early winter...

Klamath River Fly Fishing Report

Tayler Wells Reports on 10.21.2015

The Klamath is fishing well. The run is not what it was the last two years, but there are plenty of fish to go around.

The salmon are really dropping now, and with that the steelhead are not far behind the Redds. We are still having pretty good swinging.

Indian summer is still in effect up here, but we have gotten a few shots of rain in the last week.

Keep doing the rain dance and keep casting!

Lower Sacramento River

It’s been a fantastic summer on the mighty “Lower Sac”.  Our wild rainbow trout are in extremely good shape heading into the Fall and i’m sure they’re anticipating the Egg drop just as much as I am. Peak season is upon us, be sure not to miss it.

What’s on Tap?

If you haven’t booked your Fall fishing trip yet, it’s not too late. As many of my days are already booked, I take great pride in working with the best network of independent guides around. We still have plenty of guide dates available for the Fall season.

• October: EGG BITE on the Lower Sac. Many folks consider this “prime time” for our big trout gorging on Salmon eggs. Steelhead are available in the Lower River as well.
• November: Lower Sac egg drop is still happening. Klamath and Trinity Steelhead
• December: Big trout time on the Lower Sac, Klamath and Trinity River Steelhead. We typically see the bigger fish of the season in December.

Fall has arrived here in the state of Jefferson, as have the steelhead in the klamath River. Daily more fish arrive, and we can’t wait to share the river and it’s inhabitants with eager anglers. Water temps this time of year make for perfect swinging conditions, a good portion of the time the dry line setup is the go to. 

We are seeing more and more salmon, and as...
