Lincoln Gray reports on 8.9.18

The river is now up to 10k, which is almost the standard summer flow!  Fishing has been good to excellent.  

Caddis and PMD’s have been the ticket this time of year. If you are looking for a great summer time drift, now is the time to do it! We start around 10am and get off the river around 7pm. We still have dates available, so call or email to set up your drift...

Fortunately for those who live in the Redding area, the Carr fire has moved away from town. Although it remains smokey most days, the river conditions are excellent and the fishing is good. We’ve had a lot of questions recently about river conditions from the fire. To clear this up: the river was not impacted at all from the fires. Yes, it was devastating to some...

The striper fishing on the Sacramento River has been really solid the last few weeks. We have been catching about 25+ stripers a day from shakers to about 4 lbs. It seems like once a day you have a legitimate shot at a 7-8lber. With the cooler water temps this year it has been really hard to find the big fish. 

The good news is that the last couple of weeks the...

It’s pretty rare that we have to say this but the past few days on the Lower Sac have been a bit scratchy. Pretty uncharacteristic for this river. The flows are up at 13k cubes, giving the fish quite a few spots to hide from us. That combined with the lack of bugs has made for some tougher than usually fishing. With that being said the fish we are getting have...

Anthony Carruesco reports on 7.20.18

he Lower Sac has been a great summer option. The fish certainly aren’t chowing from sunup to sundown but there have been a few windows throughout the day where it’s been “ON”. 

The quality of the fish right now is as good as you will probably ever see. We’re hooking a lot of 18"-20" trout that probably weight 3-4lbs.. We’ve seen the backing fly off the reel...

Lower Sac

The past few days on the “Sac” have been exceptional. You might hit a few “lulls” throughout the day but there have been a few windows where the fish have been chowing down.

Flows are up to 13k cubes so adding a little extra weight to get your bugs down to the dance floor can be the difference. Caddis, a few PMDs and small Baetis have been coming off...

Lower Sacramento River Striper Fishing - Fishing has been fair to good depending on the day. Lots of smaller and keeper size fish around but the big boys and girls are still a bit sluggish moving onto the edges to feed. Had shots but it has been a bit slow to start. Water temps are cooler then usual and my gut says that the big fish are still feeding on or...

Lower Sac

Summertime hatches are in full swing with Yellow Sallies, PMD’s and Caddis coming off in big numbers. Park Marina to Anderson is fishing well.  We have been finding fish in the shallow rifles which makes using the boat, anchoring and wading to these spots effective. 

A fun twist from targeting Trout on the Lower Sac is tying on a Woolly Bugger and getting...

Valley Stripers

Striper fishing on the Lower Sac and Valley rivers continues to pick up and the heat wave coming this weekend should really get the fish feeding. 

The water temps have been a bit on the cold side so some HOT weather will do the river good. The full moon next week and that always kicks the fish into gear a bit as well. July-October is PRIME time and...
