Since August 1st, the fishing on the  Lower Sac has been lights out good, with a lot of very big fish being hooked daily. Giving the top few miles of river a rest for three months seems to have allowed these fish to gorge, uninterrupted. A few clients, that fish all over the globe for trout, classified their couple days of fishing out here recently as “World...

Yuba River

This is where I have been spending the majority of my time, and all I can say is its the spot to be. The water is cold and flowing nicely and the fishing is surprisingly good. Nymphing has been particularly good, with fish taking a large variety of flies with a good drag free drift, while dry fly fishing will produce a fish here and there. But don’t give...

Capt. Hogan Brown Reports on 8.13.15

Striper fishing on the Sac continues to be good. The late summer shad run we have had is thinning out and the bigger fish seem to be getting hungry again. In the last week we have caught and seen many more “big fish”. Flows are still low but water temps have come down about 3-5 degrees in most areas and fish are active throughout the day. Salmon are still sparse...

Dave Neal reports on 8.6.2015 :

The L Sac has been outstanding this week! The upper section from the Posse Grounds to Hwy 44 Bridge re-opened to fishing on Saturday, August 1st (salmon protection deal) and it’s quite evident that the few months of closure was nothing short of awesome for these resident trout. Being able to freely feed on whatever they felt like - without consequence - has produced...

Fishing has been great on the Lower Sac this week. My favorite time to be on the river right now is around 5-9pm. As soon as that sun gets behind the trees and the shadows grow out over the water it gets noticeably more comfortable and the fishing seems to be better. It’s been hot this week but the summer caddis are in their element. Looking ahead, August can be a...

I have been on vacation sense Saturday. The Striper fishing on the Lower Sac had been good. There is a TON of shad in the river spawning and milling around so the big trophy fish have been hard to come by but we have had a few follow flies to let us know they are there. Most fish are in the 3-6lb range with a few 10lb fish mixed in each day. Fishing has been a bit...

Despite the hot weather, the trout fishing up north remains good and at times some would say very good. The Lower Saccontinues to fish well in the early morning hours and in the evenings. Plenty of fish can be hooked midday too, it’s just a bit more comfortable out early and late. The freestone streams are fishing well early in the day as...

Lower Sacramento Striper Fishing is fair to good. We have been hooking good numbers of 2-5lb fish with a few in the 6-10lb bracket each day and it seems every other day or so we get a true trophy. In the last 2 days we lost 2 monster that we never even saw. The Trophy fish have been a little harder to come by as there has been a BIG influx of American Shad in...

McCloud River

Our past week on the Nor Cal rivers has brought successful summer days of fishing for clients. Yes there is plenty of water up here, all of our streams are flowing at healthy levels and the trout are enjoying the cool water during the warm summer. Recent thunderstorms have even added a little flow to the rivers. The McCloud River is running a bit off...

The Lower Sac remains in great condition. Early and late in the day, the fishing has been fantastic. Evening Hydropsyche Caddis hatches can provide some killer dry fly fishing. The big fish look up at last light and can be fooled during those big hatches. A half day float on the Sac is a great option right now.
