Fishing Report

Foothill Bass Fly Fishing Report

Chuck Regan reports on 2.28.19

As our Cal Delta stays high and our Central Valley Rivers continue to gush with the heavy storms that have passed or are passing through, there are still some prime opportunities to find a place to tame our addiction to fly fishing. Foothill bass fishing offers great opportunities in the high water months when many other fisheries are too high, blown out or difficult...

Lake Oroville Fly fishing Reports

Capt. Hogan Brown reports on 12.13.18

Been spending most of my time this last week on the Great Inland Lake aka Lake Oroville with my boys and then exploring on my own figuring everything out for my winter-spring foothill spotted bass season. 

Water temps are a bit warmer around 54-52 then I usually fish the lake at but the spotted bass and land locked chinook have been pretty grabby. 

Most of the...

Northern Sierra Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi reports on 10.25.18

Blazing fall colors and wild trout fattening up for winter, it just doesn’t get any better. The weather has been fantastic in the high country with warm days and cold nights. 

The feeding schedule for trout has changed and an angler will want to fish during the warmest time of the day, or when water temperatures rise where both bugs and trout become more active....

Lake Davis Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi reports on 6.21.18

Lake Davis 

I’ve done a few trips on the fertile waters and the lake is full to the brim at 98 % of capacity, and surface water temps are at 64-66 degrees. It will cool down a little and stabilize from the past few days of big wind and cooler air temperatures. Fishing pressure is moderate, and 10% of the habitat is holding 90% of the fish - Simply put those trout are...

Plumas County Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi reports on 6.14.18

I’m on the road guiding until the end of the month and I’m typing this report from my phone so I will keep it short. The weather has been sunny and warm, I’ve been waiting for this for quite some time - great camping and fishing weather I must say.

Frenchman Lake - fishing is fair, but there are good opportunities for sight fishing to rising fish taking callibaetis,...

Frenchman Lake 

Water temps are 58-60 degrees, the last two weeks the weather has been colder with thunderstorms and rain. Lake capacity is at 101%. Fishing was slow yesterday and not many bugs out, just a few Callibaetis and blood midges. The lake is loaded with Lahontan Redside Shiners, yet no fish are crashing them like last fall. Western grebes are starting...

Frenchman Lake Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 10.26.2017


Incredible weather and above average air temps warmed the water a bit with temps around 55 to 57 degrees. The Eagle Lake rainbows have been eating well and putting on some girth. The strain is an angry trout, and they fight really aggressively. Some days are off the charts, while others just ok. If you’re not hooking up, move to a different location. Everyday is...

Frenchman’s Lake Fly Fishing Report

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 10.11.17

It’s been a wild week at Frenchman’s Lake with wind events that made fishing much like being on board a crab boat from “Deadliest Catch”. The north wind made its presence known last week and yesterday with wind chill in the teens, so cold it cuts right to the bone. Frenchman’s Lake is much more open and prone to getting hammered by north and east winds, there are...

North Fork Yuba, Lake Davis, and Truckee

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 9.14.2017

I’ve been roaming back and forth from the Truckee area to the North Fork Yuba River for the past few months, and now it’s time to concentrate my guiding over to the Truckee River and Little Truckee River area for fall. I really can’t wait to be on the Northern Sierra stillwaters as well in a week or two when the water temperatures come down a little more. The...

Fall Stillwater Prognosis

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 9.7.2017

Fall may be coming, but it sure doesn’t feel like it with triple digit temperatures in the greater central valley and foothills. Record highs were shattered in the past week, even coastal areas like San Francisco, and Ukiah. Hopefully this will be the end of a very hot summer. The fall season on Sierra stillwaters is the best time of the year for the fly angler....
