We’re in the midst of a very memorable Fall fishing season on the Lower Sacramento River. As the flows continue to drop, the fish are transitioning from their egg eating haunts to more traditional bug water. 

The previous 5 weeks provided an extremely fun and fast paced “egg drop” that the big fish were keyed in on. As the Fall run salmon start to thin out, it...

The target locations right now are from Keswick down to Anderson. Below Anderson, the egg bite has been sporadic but in addition, there has been some good dry...

Striper Fishing - Fall Striper fishing has been going strong. Fishing is different this time of year though as it becomes a quality vs. quantity game and we start chasing the biggest fish of the season through the winter. We hook much fewer fish each day but usually hook into one of the biggest fish of any clients life. Fish in the 20-40lb range are our targets...

The Lower Sac has had a banner Fall so far. There have been a lot of salmon in the system that have been providing a steady flow of food to these veracious rainbows. 

These fish have been getting FAT on eggs and bugs that these salmon are kicking into the drift. 

We’re looking forward to the fishing to stay good for the foreseeable future. Flows are on their way...

Lower Sac Striper Fishing is in full fall mode…some days are good, some days are great, some days are really tough…the bottom line is that most days though clients are getting shots at some big fish. 

Fall is where we spend a lot of time hunting for those 1-3 fish that can make your whole season. While there can be days where we stack some decent numbers on most...

October is finally here and Fall has brought everything we’d hoped it would. Fishing has been FANTASTIC. Kings are in the river, moving gravel, spawning and feeding the trout a lot of food.. Hatches of Caddis, various mayflies and midges have been solid most days as well, keeping the “bug water” an option as well. 

We’re looking forward to the fishing staying...

Lower Sac STriper fishing has been up and down with the changing weather. We have had 80-90 degree weather and high 60s with good amounts of rain. One thing that can really mess with the striper bite on the river is change weather and pressure fronts moving through. So fishing has really depended on the day. When the weather has been stable and the barometric...

Fishing has remained good over the past week. Still mostly a bug game but there have been a good number of King Salmon showing in the upper river, meaning the egg drop isn’t that far out.

 We’ve been seeing some very quality fish this year. 

We’re expecting this trend to continue and even get stronger as the Fall season progresses.

Lower Sac Striper fishing - Boat traffic from salmon anglers is been a bit lower as deer season is in full affect and people are off hunting or hunting the river. Fall striper fishing is in full swing and there has been some big fish out feeding as well as plenty of 3-5lb fish to fill in the gaps. 

Fishing is best where boat traffic is the lowest due to salmon...

The lower parts of the Sac continue to fish well for a multitude of species. From trout, steelhead, stripers, and bass you can find lots of different willing players at the end of summer. 

With the weather starting to cool off expect the striper fishing to slow down and the steelhead fishing to get better by the week. Can’t wait for fall fishing. If you want to get...
