The Lower Sac has continued to kick out some great fishing over the past few weeks. The hatches have gotten better as the flows have started to come up. The river is currently sitting at 7k cubes and will likely stay around this number as summer rolls around. For those of you who were concerned about the river “closure” please don’t worry. The river is only going...

Flows just bumped up to 5K today on the Lower Sac. Nice to finally see some current pushing through the flats. The increase in flow seemed to have bumped the caddis hatch up a bit the last few days. Hydropsyches have been getting chewed on pretty well. PMDs are still happening too. Salmonflies are leaving their shucks and flying around. Fishing remains stellar....

The trout fishing on the Lower Sacramento River is as good as you will see it right now. We’ve had some banner days over the past few weeks. The bugs are coming off a little better on the cloudy, overcast days with some fish looking up in certain spots of the river. PMDs, Caddis and March browns have been the main items on the menu. We are expecting the fishing...

The Lower Sachas continued to kick out some great fishing over the past week. Still, we have yet to see the bigger hatches that the spring usually gives up. There are some spring Caddis still around, PMDs, March Browns and a few Salmonflies, but not in great numbers yet. Probably a symptom of the low water and more silt covering the gravel than usual.. Despite the...

Spring weather is here and the status of fishing on the Lower Sac has been bumped to Excellent. We’ve had some great days out on the water recently. Daytime temperatures have been in the high 70s, boat traffic has been light and the fish have been eager. Despite the lack of hatches, the rainbows have been aggressive to our bugs. With the temperatures forecasted to...

Just wrapping up what has been an epic steelhead season on the Klamath, Rogue, Trinity and coastal rivers. There is certainly still some fishing to be had for these special brutes. Up next we start segwaying into trout fishing on the Lower Sacramento and Upper Sacramento Rivers. Rick Cox of Wild Waters Fly Fishing is reporting good results on the Upper Sac...

The Lower Sacramento River continues to fish well despite the weird weather we’ve had. The hatches have yet to really get going but the fish have been eating well, regardless. The fish seem pretty podded up in certain spots of the river so it is important to know where these spots will be. Still anticipating the Dry fly thing to happen soon. We’ve had some fun...

We’ve had some banner days on the Sac in the past couple of weeks. Typical Lower Sac for the springtime (minus the big hatches). A few of the days have made us work hard in the mornings - usually after lunchtime the fish start to chow with more conviction and seem to hold on a bit longer. Quick grabs mean you’ve gotta have a quick hammer. Timely hook sets have been...

March has arrived here in Northern California/Southern Oregon and we are seeing the continuation of great steelhead fishing and the uptick in trout fishing on the Lower and Upper Sacramento Rivers. Blooming flowers and trees are offering a color show after their winter hibernation along with mild warmer days. Winter steelhead are continuing to reward those...
