Bucko Theriot reports on 2.9.17
As I am typing this right now, the Upper Sac is currently flowing at 26,700 cfs and is climbing at about 1000 cfs an hour. This river is huge right now and should definitely be avoided, but it is a spectacular site to see! Keep looking forward to spring-time fishing on The Upper Sac and keep dreaming about the big golden and salmon stoneflies in May and June!

Upper Sac
The Upper Sac was ripping and roaring this past week with the major storms we received. The weather finally let up and the river is on its way down after hitting over 15,000 cfs. It was quite the sight to see. The flows should continue to slowly drop but there is more weather on the way next week.

Big fish are ready to play on the Upper Sacramento River …. the only reeeel trout stream open all winter here in Dogpatch. Now that the traditional trout season has come to a close …. by that I mean ALL LOCAL RIVERS ARE CLOSED! You would be surprised how many sports do not know the closures in Northern California let alone the regulation changes on the USac (catch and...

The weather has been awesome up here this week and the October caddis are still out in full force, so come on up while you can and enjoy the last of the good weather! The river is flowing at 950cfs as of right now. I have been fishing the middle upper sections of the river and some days have been fair and some days have been good! October caddis patterns and rubber legs have been the top...

With all the current conditions we are putting up with you would think things are tough but guess what, it hasn’t been all too bad. Now that could change on the McCloud (talk about clouded) and the Upper Sac any time but up until recently both rivers have been giving up decent fish. Rain is the big nemisis and we are currently getting some. As you can see the McCloud...

Fall colors and dancing October caddis are out on the Northern California rivers and you don’t want to miss the upper sac scenery and the last big hatch of the year. The evenings have been flooded with October Caddis flying around and it has been great throwing dries and dry dropper rigs. Try your favorite October caddis dries and nymphs...

Fishing continues to be great on the Lower Sac and should still be a top pick for Nor Cal, but don’t forget about the Upper Sac because it is also kicking out some great fishing! Labor Day weekend, on the Lower Sac, greeted us with some pleasant weather & big Rainbows, but we also had to deal with lots of jet skiers. The temps soared back up to the high 90s today...

As I was guiding on the Upper Sac the other day, the wind blew and a bunch of leaves were flying off the branches, this reminded me that fall is coming and brought a smile to my face! Fall is my favorite time of year to be on the Upper Sac and better yet, all the nor cal rivers. The fishing is starting to pick up on the Upper Sac and the temps...

The Lower Sac this week has continued to fish great and should not be missed out on. It is definitely a go to river right now in Nor Cal. These Lower Sac rainbows know how to fight; they will give even the best fish fighters a run for their money! Fishing has been best for me mid morning to dark. Expect the caddis to really get going in the afternoons and evenings...

John Rickard at Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 8.4.2016
The Upper Sac has been fishing really well and many anglers are finding success right through the town of Dunsmuir as well as the lower stretches near Lake Head. The mid day is hard to navigate around the swimmers and tubers so its best to fish in the mornings and late evenings. These days, the fish prefer a bit of shade on the water before they start feeding.
