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...

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...

Hogan Brown Reports 7.30.2015

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...
