Cooler weather and a dusting of snow here in Nevada city on Monday morning, north wind had a bite to it as well. Making good upstream presentations posed major problems too, but a switch in tactics with a downstream fly first delivery solved the war against the wind. Flows have been stable for the most part on the Lower Yuba River and are currently flowing at 950...

From warm to bitter cold today on the Truckee River.

We actually had a dusting of snow fall last night. Very cold temps today and a warm up towards the weekend.

Not much change to report other than the weather. Pretty warm daytime highs for the last few weeks and now one of the coldest days of the year. Flows have remained about the same all month.

350 cubes here in the...

Delta Striper fishing is starting to pickup & prime Spring Fishing is just around the corner! March-May are shaping up to be prime on the Delta so book your 2018 Spring Striper adventure! Water temperatures are currently 53 degrees & the Striper bite should continue to get better. The fish have been biting well & we have seen quality fish up to 6lbs, larger fish...

Fishing is pretty good if you can get some calmer winds and get them going in the right direction.  Recently we have winds coming from the North which makes the fishing a little tougher.   The Delta has good water conditions in that it is clear and is now hovering around the 55 degree mark.  We are catching all of our fish on large 5 inch flies.  

Rob Russell Reports on 2.4.2018

The Russian River has dropped to a very fishable level. Anglers are catching big, fresh steelhead. With about 2ft of visibility in the lower river, fishing should improve throughout this next week. The rivermouth is open. Good bank access can be found throughout the lower Russian. All fly fishing techniques can be used, with most anglers choosing to swing flies on...

Kenny Priest at Fishing the North Coast Reports on 2.8.2018

This past weekend saw all of our coastal steelhead rivers turn some shade of green – some emerald and some olive. Condition-wise, it was probably the best we’ve had this season. But pristine conditions only last so long. And now as we go another week deeper into a disheartening dry spell, some rivers are getting too low to drift and too...

Winter is the new summer lately. Hard to believe it’s the first week of February, above normal temperatures with bright sunny skies. I really like it, but fear the next to nothing snowpack in the Sierra. We need more snow, with high water content, or things will be bleak this coming summer and fall. Pray for a March miracle. The Lower Yuba River still amazes me with...

Lower Sacramento River Stripers - Winter striper fishing has been decent and getting better coming off the full moon. Fishing can be hit and miss as the bite is not consistent all day but when it is good it is pretty darn good. Good numbers of fish and good size in the mix. As long as river stays fishable and doesn’t blow out we can keep getting out to fish.

Locked into high pressure.

Mild weather for this time of year on the Truckee River. Feels about like April. Of course this mild weather warms up the water and the trouts get more active.

Flows are still pretty good in both states despite the lack of snow. Seems like they’re holding water back in anticipation of another bad winter. This warm weather has got some bugs...

Cory Godell Reports on 2.8.2018

All this amazing weather we’ve been having, hasn’t just got us excited, it has also got the fish super excited. These hot February days are warming up the water temps quickly which has made the bug hatches come off like crazy for the past week. All these bugs have made for some amazing midday dry fly action. As long as the warm weather continues to be awesome, so...
