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.

Dave Neal report on 7.16.15

Fishing this week was pretty decent on the Lower Sac. I’ve mostly been floating the upper river section through town (Redding) from late afternoon to dark, doing half-day trips. The evenings have been great!! Buddies of mine have been fishing the early morning session, 7am to Noon, and report decent fishing as well…

The Posse Grounds/Sundial Bridge section...

Lower Sacramento River Striper Fishing - Has been good to very good, just depends on the day and the mood of the fish. Some days we see great numbers of 3-8lb fish and some days we see a few of those and a few true trophies. Salmon season opens July 16th and this changes things a bit…mostly for the better as salmon traffic pushes bigger fish to the edges where...

Conditions on the Sac remain good. We’ve got a cool weather pattern around right now which is really nice. It’s looking like it’s going to be in the 80s the next few days and then up into the 90s next week. Great summertime conditions. Again, morning and evening fishing is where it’s at right now. We had some good, consistent dry fly fishing happening last month....

Hogan Brown Reports on 7.8.15

Lower Sacramento River Striper fishing - Fishing remains good with lots of smaller fish around and nice 4-8lb fish in the mix with the occasional monster. Most days we are hooking a few big fish and as we move into mid July we should start to see the really big fish get active. As the summer moves on fish will move into shallower and shallower water and we will start...

There are many solid trout fishing options in the North State right now! This week should be particularly awesome with the cooler weather & overcast afternoons we are experiencing.

Currently, I’m most excited about fishing Fall River, Lower Sac, and the Pit #3, while doing skills-building sessions for beginners, kids, and novices on places like Hat Creek, Burney Creek...

Hogan Brown Reports:

Lower Sacramento River Striper fishing is good right now. Lots of small fish in the 16-25" bracket with a few in the 5-8lb range then usually about 1-2 a day in the BIG category…don’t always land them or get a good hook set but knowing they are there and eating is a good thing….sometimes they even eat a fish you have hooked. Pretty standard fishing though as early in what we...

John Rickard of Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 6.25.2015

The Mt Shasta region has been fishing well this summer. The days are hot and long but there is no better place to be than in a cool river catching trout. June highlights have been the McCloud River. A dry fly fisherman’s dream, The McCloud has had some great hatches this June. We went from salmonflies in the early days of June to golden stones, green drakes, and lately the pmd’s and yellow sallies. Some large fish have crushed some big stone patterns lately, just a couple of those kind of takes is all I need to smile big all day.  The McCloud should remain awesome but expect the upcoming full moon to slow the bite. As the water warms the dead drift becomes less meaningful, swing some soft hackles and hang on.

Meanwhile, other fisheries like the Sacramento have been delighting anglers with some big bows, drift trips on the Lower Sacramento have been great in the mornings or evenings, our guides have been reporting good dry fly action!

What the Hex else is there? Oh yeah, those big yellow mayflies are being eaten by bass and trout nightly. Fifteen minutes of crazy fishing, dont tangle or break one off or you’ll miss the bite.

We have been busy but we still have openings and would love to get you on the water. Check out all these photos from our latest trips and go fish.
