Lower Sac

Striper fishing - Fishing lower in the river by Colusa is good. There are large schools of migratory fish around and of course there are crowds. Crowds like most of us can not imagine. I personally stay away with regards to guiding but if you want to get out and catch some fish for the cooler or can handle the chaos it can be a good day. There are a few...

Fishing continues to be rock solid on the Lower Sac this week. We have been experiencing periods of fishing that’s as good as it gets. Generally bigger fish and more crowds have been on the upriver floats while the downriver floats have seen far fewer people with more (albeit smaller) fish. Take your pick.

After several days of cooler, cloudy weather (some...

So, the weather is all over the place…imagine that it is spring in Nor-Cal. Brings me back to days when we actually had a spring. 80 degrees and gorgeous to 55 cold and rainy in the span of 48 hours. Makes for interesting fishing this really optimistic attitude for May through September to be honest. Last year about this time weather was gorgeous, and had been for a...

The Spring fishing on the Lower Sac continues to be outstanding and the opportunity to fish this River should not be missed! The top choice for flies that the fish are chowing on are Eggs, PMDs, Rubber Legs, and Caddis Pupa patterns. The weather was nice and cool this week with some showers but that won’t last long. The weather is predicting for this weekend to...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 4.6.2016

The Lower Sacramento River has continued to treat us very well this Spring. I really can’t imagine a better trout fishery going right now. A lot of quality fish have been eating. Expect the hatches to only get stronger as April rolls on. The Dry Fly thing should start to happen soon. Check out more photos here.

My next open days: April 28-29

Bucko Theriot reports on 4.6.2016

The Upper Sac has kicked off to a great start so far this spring and the river is looking great and flowing at a healthy 1646 cfs. The water is a little off color right now but the visibility is still good and is producing some great bent rod action right now. If you are going to fish this river right now, look for the slow water next to the fast current, there...

I have been on the Lower Sac trout and striper fishing this last week.

Lower Sac Trout

Fishing has been about as good as it gets. The upper stretch down to Hwy 44 bridge closed as of April 1 and most guides have been up there pretty steady so I had some of the floats below all to myself or with only a boat or two. The egg bite on sucker spawn seemed to be the best...

Fishing on the upper reaches of the Lower Sac, right in middle of Redding, has been lights out fantastic this week. Lots of big fish (well over 20”) and lots of average sized wild rainbows (16-17”) hitting the nets this week. Seems that many other anglers had the same idea and were out enjoying the great weather and excellent fishing. Many local guides were busy working...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 3.31.2016

Fishing on the Lower Sac over the past couple of weeks has been En Fuego. Flows are back down to 5k and looks like they’ll be staying there for a while. Lake Shasta is up to about 90% capacity, ensuring a lot of cold, clean water for the remainder of the year. PMDs, Sallies, Pteronarcys, Caddis, March Browns and the round fly are all catching fish right now....
