It’s Beginning to feel a bit like fall around here. Cooler days and nights have the fish on the move. Last week we found good numbers of fish scattered throughout the drift from Posse grounds down to Bonnie holding in all the usual spots. Yesterday, there seemed to be a big shift with the biggest concentration of hungry bows found from the boards to just below...

Lower Sacramento River Stripers - Striper fishing on the Lower Sac remains fair to good. There are still plenty of shaker and small schoolie fish willing to eat a fly and each day we seem get a few nice 5-8lb fish with the shot at a true trophy. Some days the big ones will follow the fly all the way to the boat and turn off, some days they smash it and we loose them...

It was starting to feel a lot like Fall the past few days up here. Mornings were crisp and daytime temperatures weren’t getting past 75. I didn’t even turn the AC on for a few days. It looks like that is going to change this coming week as temperatures are predicted to get back up into trip digits. Bummer. The fishing hasn’t changed much.. The Sac (per usual)...

With triple digit temps in the forecast thru the upcoming weekend, Redding is going to be hot, but so is the fishing. With a near perfect flow rate and steady influx of cold water, current conditions are producing good to very good results on some quality bows. Best to get out early, hit the possie grounds to Bonnie concentrating on getting good drifts along the...

MDRP reports:

Lower Sacramento Drift with Jay from Posse to Bonnyview.  Around a dozen fish.  12” guppy like with big bellies and some 20”plus.  Caddis Mayflies and Pupas mostly.  They were mostly hand tied by Adam, he calls them Friday Night Optimism.

Lower Sacramento Striper fishing remains fair to good with some true trophies landed this last week. 2 fish over 25lbs were landed by anglers this week and lots of good 5-10lb fish are in the mix. The cold front that moved through this weekend threw things off for a day but things are back to normal now. There are more and more salmon moving into that through the...

Fishing on the Lower Sac remains stellar. A lot of big, healthy fish have been getting poked on a regular basis. The fish are as charged up as i’ve ever seen em right now.. So be prepared to lose a few. They’re not going to come to the net easy. The crowds on the river have been light, especially on the weekdays. Most people think they have to wait until the...

It’s been a great summer so far. Busy. A lot of our rivers are fishing well, from the smaller freestone tribs, to the big river, we’ve had a lot of good fishing happening up here. Sure, it’s been hot in the middle of the day so getting out early and off early is recommended. I keep hearing reports that fishing on the Lower Sac is “dead”, in fact I almost had a...

Fishing on the Lower Sacramento River, right in the heart of downtown Redding, remains pretty darn good this week. The top float remains solid with many hook-ups of badass 18”- 20"+ wild trout. These fish are absolute rippers and we seem to connect with a few each day that are simply un-landable.

We’ve enjoyed lots of double hook-ups, and backing running fish…...

Lower Sacramento River Striper Fishing is good. There are good numbers of happy and hungry fish around. Top water in the morning in evening has been good with all sizes of fish in the shallows (1-5’) of water chasing bait fish amongst and along with weeds. Salmon are starting to show in decent numbers but still not enough to really push the stripers around. Having a...
