Russian River Fishing Report 1/8/2018    

The Russian River steelhead season has begun! One could rate the steelhead fishing as pretty good before today’s storm, which will muddy it for probably a week. This is always tough to predict, and silt loads (muddy water) should be increased due to large areas of the watershed having burned. The North Bay will be under a Flash Flood watch in the next...

Marin Unversaw reports on Jan 6, 2018:

The Feather’s water is clear with a little green tinge. For us it was overcast with some light rain. Conditions are good. Water level worked for crossing selected pieces of water.
Salmon are mostly done, with many fragrant memorials to those brave Salmon who swam under the Golden Gate Bridge, and all the way up to Oroville to party.

For me it was 101, to 37, to...

Have you noticed more people catching salmon in the Russian River this winter?

This doesn’t necessarily mean there are more adult fish returning. It’s more likely because they are confined to the mainstem of the river due to lower than average seasonal flow conditions. Coho salmon and steelhead spawn in tributaries to the Russian River, and while there has been just enough rain this fall to allow...

Next year I turn 30, and I figured I should check off the top item on my bucket list, catch a Steelhead on a different continent. I made a few phone calls and figured out a way to make it happen through The Fly Shop. The dated are 10/2-10/13/18. The cost of the trip is $9,995 but is entirely tax deductible. Not just the trip but all costs associated with the trip.

If you have a sense of adventure...

Hey All, 

This is the time of the year I like to hop in my car and head north. I am going to share a few tools I use to plan my trip.

Wildwater’s Fly Fishing Reports on 1.4.2018

The Upper Sacramento River

I have had the opportunity to winter fish the Upper Sacramento River since it opened to year round fishing a few years ago. She can be a tempermental thing with a lot of pulse flows but when we have these drier years such as now the fishing on it can be extremely good, particularly for those elusive big fish that you always hear...

We had two groups of LCO Employees head up to pyramid lake. Access is limited this year but the lake is producing some great fish for those who put in the time.

Cory Godell Reports on 1.3.2018

Happy New Year from Deschutes River Anglers. First things first, Thanks to all who fished with us last year. We look forward to fishing with you this coming year. 2017 was a year of ups and downs, but mainly ups. We usually start our season on the Owyhee fishing it’s skwala hatch. Normally when we show up the river is flowing around 50 cfs. This year it was flowing...

Happy New Year from Southern Oregon! My son and I capped off 2017 with a New Year’s Eve float on the upper Rogue. At only 8, he came along as a fly fisher in a big way this year. After swearing off steelhead this summer to focus on bass, it took some serious persuasion to get him off the pond and back on the river. On Halloween, he hooked a steelhead on his first cast...

Ryan Johnston reports on 1.4.2018

The Sac continues to fish well this winter in a different and unusual way. Generally speaking this time of year we fish the Sundial Bridge float almost daily. However with the pressure from boats and the lack of weather the fishing up there has been average at best. Now with me saying that there is weather rolling in as I write. This little dose of rain that we are...
