The Lower Sac is fishing well right now. We are seeing solid pmd hatches late morning through the afternoon along with midges and spring caddis active as well.

The Lower Sac is known as a deep nymphing, side-drifting game… long leaders with 3 nymphs held down with a lot of weight is a consistent strategy for success here. However, don’t overlook the dry fly...

Lower Sacramento River Stripers - Winter striper fishing has been decent and getting better coming off the full moon. Fishing can be hit and miss as the bite is not consistent all day but when it is good it is pretty darn good. Good numbers of fish and good size in the mix. As long as river stays fishable and doesn’t blow out we can keep getting out to fish.

Despite the fact we REALLY need some rain and snow to fall in Northern California I cannot complain with the weather lately. These past few weeks have been PERFECT fishing weather (that is if “perfect” means mild, cool-to-warm, with an abundance of sunny afternoons, temps in the 70’s). 

As an added bonus our local rivers have not been particularly busy lately. Many of...

The Lower Sac is still sitting at 4k cubes - ideal for winter trout fishing. It has been a very good option for scratching the winter trout itch. Mid-day hatches of Baetis and various other Mayflies (March Browns included) have been getting the fish grabby. We are only a month or so away from seeing the first big (Brachycentrus) Caddis hatches of the year. If you...

• Fishing: Fair to good depending on the day
  
• Clarity: Clear
  
• Flows: 3500
  

The fishing on the Lower Sac has been hit or miss, some days are super good, other days struggle to get a few fish to hand. The lack of salmon definitely did a number on the river and how it fished this fall. There are still fishing to be had, and the best fishing on the Lower Sac is just around...

The Sac continues to fish well this winter in a different and unusual way. Generally speaking this time of year we fish the Sundial Bridge float almost daily. However with the pressure from boats and the lack of weather the fishing up there has been average at best. Now with me saying that there is weather rolling in as I write. This little dose of rain that we are...

Flows on the Sac are still down at 5K cubes.. This should be the norm for a while until we get a little precipitation. Speaking of which, there is virtually zero of that in the extended forecast. We’ve been enjoying the clear 65 degree days but it’s time for the high pressure on the coast to move and let some weather in. The fishing remains good but the windows...

AC Fly Fishing reports on 12.7.2017

Not much has changed on the TroutFactory that is the Lower Sac. The fish have gotten a little quicker and the hatches have thinned out a bit but the fishing remains good to very good. It pays to have a perfect drift in the right spot, with a ninja quick hookset. There is a substantial difference in the success for those who do. The wind was a pain in the ass the...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 11.30.2017

The Lower Sacramento River CONTINUES to pump out consistently good fishing. The past few days have been exceptional. Flows are down to 5k cubes and should stay there for the foreseeable future. We’ve been gettin’ out of the boat and wade fishing quite a bit too, which is a really good change of pace. Even had the chance to throw the dry fly to rising fish on the...

Ryan Johnston Reports on 11.22.2017

The Lower Sac is back into its winter trends with low water flows and rainy days. The clouds and rain make the baetis want to Hatch. The baetis fishing on the river has been really good as of late. No reason to get out there early as the best fishing is from 10AM - 3PM. The quality of fish has been all over the board with small guys to nice big chunky Lower Sac...
