Ted Fay Fly Shop Reports on 10.26.2017

October has been spectacular in many ways here in Dogpatch. Unlike the pain in the ass conditions of last year with the record setting rains early on this year has been very kind weather and fishing wise. The beautiful Fall colors seem to be matching what you would see in New England, the temps have been very comfortable and the fishing has produced some of...

Fall Striper fishing is going strong on the CA Delta! Water temperatures are around 62 degrees throughout most of the Delta & the fish are biting well most of the days. Some days have been a tough bite but we are seeing more & more legal fish(18"+) each week. Still not seeing too many fish over 5lbs as of yet but plenty of shakers with a few 18-25" mixed in have...

Jim Stimson Reports on 10.26.2017

Here we are, just days away from November and the onset of winter, my down jacket sits on the coat rack collecting dust, we are sleeping with the windows open at night to cool down the house. These warm, Indian Summer days are amazing. Scary warm, but very pleasant outside. After such a big winter as we had last season, I guess we deserve a break from the long,...

Incredible weather and above average air temps warmed the water a bit with temps around 55 to 57 degrees. The Eagle Lake rainbows have been eating well and putting on some girth. The strain is an angry trout, and they fight really aggressively. Some days are off the charts, while others just ok. If you’re not hooking up, move to a different location. Everyday is...

Hogan Brown fishing reports on 10.26.17

Lower Sacramento River Striper fishingis wrapping up as the days become shorter and shorter and the water temps drop down into the mid to high 50s. We are still catching fish but the window that they are active is getting a bit shorter and fish are concentrated so covering water is key. A few people are starting to ask about booking for next season. I will be...

It’s been a long time since I posted a report. Overall, the upper Rogue has fished well since August. Good numbers of wild steelhead in the system again with a broader mix of age classes than in past years. So, we’re seeing steelhead ranging from 20 - 28 inches making up for most of the run. My next available dates are Nov. 21, 22, 29, 30. Thank you for reading and...

Delta Striper improved as we moved thru this week.  The fish are well distributed thru out all sections of the Delta.  You need to fish many spots to compile good numbers.  Four inch Clouser Minnows are the ticket.  We are using flies tied in Olive over White.   Fishing is going to improve even more as we get later into the fall season.

Capt Gregg Holland at Feather Dog Outfitters Reports on 10.26.2017

Someone asked me the other day who’s been your best client this year and without hesitation I said the kids. Fresh eye’s great questions and a open heart is what makes guiding kids so special. They can outcast most adults and have a spirite and drive that is so beautiful watch. I’m blessed to be a part of the there growth and...

Wild Waters Fly Fishing Reports on 10.20.2017

The McCloud River from lake to lake and above is showing off its biggest fish of the year and our guides and clients are catching them. Overall the fishing is slower than normal. With the cookie cutters and dinks hiding from these leviathans we are only getting a few fish a day per angler. But wait to you see how big these pigs are. We have found lots...
