*I just got word that the Lower Sac releases out of Keswick Dam are going to go way up beginning Friday to 50,000cfs, Saturday 60,000cfs and Sunday to 70,000cfs!

Well… it could stop raining tomorrow and I wouldn’t mind one bit. I think for a while we are probably good on precipitation in northern California. I’d love to see it clear and sunny for 7-10 full days and see...

Hogan Brown reports on 2.9.17

I am not going to dress it up…there isn’t a lot going on fishing wise. The Sac, Feather, and Yuba are ripping and flooding in some areas with the latest rain and there is more rain to come…. Personally, I haven’t been out on the water in over a month. Some of my buddies and fellow guides have been getting some days in on the Coast steelhead fishing between storms, some...

Bucko Theriot reports on 2.2.17

The Lower Sac is still flowing big and mean right now–Currently 25,400 cfs (WOW) and has been flowing big for awhile now. I have still seen people drifting it at these flows and I have seen some big fish being caught. If you do drift it, you can expect the crowds to be low, but I would not recommend it unless you are with someone with experience on the oars. Storms...

Ryan Johnston reports on 1.17.19

Northern California has been dumped on with water as of recently. Hooray, no more drought! If you have been paying attention almost every river in NorCal is currently blown out. However if you really watch there are still some fishing to be had among all the high conditions. The Lower Sac is at 36,000 cfs and one river that you can fish when the water gets really...

Upper Sac
The Upper Sac was ripping and roaring this past week with the major storms we received. The weather finally let up and the river is on its way down after hitting over 15,000 cfs. It was quite the sight to see. The flows should continue to slowly drop but there is more weather on the way next week.

Lower Sac
I guided two wonderful ladies from Southern...

Hogan Brown Reports on 1.12.17

So, if you have read any of the fishing reports you are probably already under the realization that most everything is blown out…That amount of water that has come down the Lower Yuba and Lower Sacramento is incredible. Outside of Chico the Sac got up to 115,000cfs and the Yuba got up to 81,000cfs (as of 9 Jan)…those are river channel changing flows. New runs,...

Anthony Carruesco Reports on 1.10.17

The Lower Sac is on her way up to 20k cubes by Wednesday afternoon. The combination of big flows and winter is usually the perfect recipe for running into some of the biggest fish in the river.

Starting on Thursday, the sun is supposed to come out and stay here until early next week.

Due to our steelhead venues blowing out from this weeks deluge; I have this...

Anthony Carruesco reports on 1.5.17

We are getting a lot more precipitation up north here than we’ve been used to the past few years. It’s stayed nice and cold for us too to keep some of that snow up in the higher elevations. As much as it hurts having to cancel trips in the winter due to rivers blowing out - It’s nice to know that this rain and snow is ensuring us a good spring and summer water...

Ryan Johnston reports on 1.5.17

Lower Sac- The Sac continues to fish average for winter conditions. Most days we are hooking 20ish rainbows from Redding down to Anderson. As typical we have been catching some true slugs out of the river this winter. Winter time we might not catch as many fish as the spring or the fall but if you are into hunting for big rainbows then it doesn’t really get any...

Hogan Brown Reports on 1.3.17

Lower Sachas been tough…Pays to be patient though as the fish we are catching are really good fish just not many hook ups. Though that is pretty standard for the winter. I have not been on the river since the flows dropped again from 10,000cfs so that may kick things back into gear but the cold weather can’t help either so who knows what is going to happen. It is the...
