The Lower Yuba River has been fishing well since the flows dropped from 7,078 on the 17^th to 1,250 on the 19^th. As I reported in my last post the Lower Yuba River came down incredibly fast and cleared up quite nicely. It is important to note that I’m writing this on the morning of the 28^thbecause conditions change so quickly. I want the fly fishing public to receive...

Jim Stimson Reports on 11.30.2017

November is in the books, onward we head towards a new year. I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. There is not much to report here other than Mammoth Mountain reported roughly 18” of new snow on Monday morning with a new storm system due this weekend. These last few storms have been warm and wet with snowfall totals only in the higher elevations. So far, the...

AC Fly Fishing Reports on 11.30.2017

The Lower Sacramento River CONTINUES to pump out consistently good fishing. The past few days have been exceptional. Flows are down to 5k cubes and should stay there for the foreseeable future. We’ve been gettin’ out of the boat and wade fishing quite a bit too, which is a really good change of pace. Even had the chance to throw the dry fly to rising fish on the...

Spent the last week fishing a few days for winter bass on Lake Oroville. Lake Oroville is full of spotted bass and while not as big as their traditional “largemouth” bretheren I think they fight much harder…more like a smallmouth. They average 1-2lbs this time of year but there are better fish in the 3-4lb bracket that get caught and as we move into early...

Stoke Ventures reports on 11.30.2017

Hope everyone had a great holiday with good food and good company! We hit the surf both Saturday and Sunday mornings last week and found quit a few Barred Perch both days. High tide on Saturday was 3.9@4am and dropped less then 1.0ft by 2pm and was about the same on Sunday. With not much of an outgoing, the perch stayed nice and tight in the splash zone holding...

Delta Largemouth Bass fishing is rated good. Catching some nice ones while trying to locate Stripers. Targeting Stripers has been more difficult. We need more Stripers to come up from the Bay and Middle Grounds. If you happen to locate a migrating school you are in luck. The Delta is truly beautiful at this time of year. The waterfowl and many birds that fish...

The Lower Yuba River never ceases to amaze me, when the rains started on the 11/14. I had no idea the river would blow out and reach 7,000 cubes. Even more amazing is that in 2 days it was back down to 1.5K. I can’t recall the river dropping so quickly as that. Currently the flows are stable at 1,129 cfs, Water clarity is perfect with a slight tinge to it. Before...

Spent a few days out on the water this last week with clients and fishing on my own…

Feather River - aka Butte county’s Capital City Fish Ditch - the Feather has had a great run of steelhead his year. Nothing huge in size but all good solid central valley size steelhead. 20-25" football size fish. The crowds of both guides and bank anglers have been there in...

We have had reports of folks finding some early fish in the russian river. The flows spikes and the river blew out but it looks like it is back in shape. This would be a fun one to explore this weekend:

Lost Coast Outfitters hosts a group with Western River Conservancy every year. Our good friend Tom Counts offers up his killer camp and we fish for 2 and half days. If you are not fishing up by the dam where fish are stacked up you working pretty hard for a shot at an adult fish right now. It’s true winter steelhead mode. There are a number of bright half-pounders in the system to pull...
