Lower Sacramento River -I have been on the upper stretches of the Lower Sac a few days this last week between Bonnie View and Anderson. Crowds are nonexistent as the few guides that are on the river are up from Possie to Bonnie. The River is really low around 3500cfs and releases will not come up I imagine as long as Shasta is so low. Trout fishing is fair to good...

Fishing on the Lower Sac has been pretty decent this week and has offered up a great alternative to the Trinity for us. I’ve been fishing the upper reach, Posse to Bonnyview areas a few days this week as the lower river has been too windy and/or dirty with runoff on the days I’ve been out there.

The fish are not chowing in every run, but where we found them...

We’ve had some pretty bomber fishing happening up here the past few weeks. The Lower Sac has been consistently giving us big fish after big fish. Again, the dank, dark days will pop the BWOs and the trout get pretty grabby during that hatch window. Don’t expect the fish to chow from sunup to sundown but you can count on a pretty...

Reports right now…Still spending most of my time on the Lower Sacramento River down between Red Bluff and Corning chasing trout and steelhead. With Low water in most of the tributaries most of the steelhead are staying in the main river or waiting at the creek mouths to move up. We have been hooking about a...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 12.3.2015

Fishing in Northern California is pretty damn good right now. We’ve got a little precipitation on the way which should bring a new batch of Steelhead up the Klamath and Trinity. Both rivers right now are low and clear, so a little bump in color and flow will be a good thing. There are good numbers of steelhead in the Klamath system this year. The Lower Sacramento...

I have been spending the last week on the Lower Sac between Red Bluff and Corning running swing trips out of the jet boat. With the low flows there a lot of spots to get out and wade fish and swing flies on light spey rods or switch rods. We have been getting a few half pounders, occasional adult steelhead, and trout most days. While the cold weather has made the...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 11.12.2015

The Lower Sac is fishing well. Bugs are becoming more important than the egg in a lot of spots right now. Good baetis hatches the past week. Cloudy, drizzly days will put the egg back on the top of the menu.

The Klamath has a lot fewer fish in the system than the past few years. That being said we are still having some very good days of fishing up there, just...

Hogan Brown Reports on 11.12.2015

Been guiding the Lower Sacramento River the last few days…spending most of my time down low from Red Bluff down to Corning. There is good numbers of nice trout eating around the areas where there are spawning salmon and there are good numbers of hatchery and wild cookie cutter steelhead around, about 18-22". There are also some larger adults in the mix up over 25"...

Trinity River

The flows on the Trinity River are down to 300 cfs and will remain there until Mother Nature cooperates in the form of rain. The lower flows are making it a little more difficult for the drift boats, but rafts and wade fishermen are having no problems. The good news is that the fishing is excellent, with steelhead being hooked...

Lower Sacramento River Stripers

I spent that last week for and guiding for stripers on the Lower Sac outside of chico. Fall fishing for stripers can be really good or really tough depending on the weather. Unstable weather really shuts the fishing down but if the weather is stable for a few days the fish can really get on the feed. This saturday we hooked a bunch of...
