Delta Smallmouth & Largemouth are still going strong & should last through Sept. Stripers will likely get rolling in September & be very prevalent in October & November. Guides are already booking Fall Stripers so don’t wait to book if you want a prime date with the few Fly Fishing Guides on the Delta!

Smallmouth are great for getting newer anglers into Fly Fishing...

There is a new fire on the South Fork of the Merced which has shut down Wawona, and limited access to the Bridal Veil/ Glacier Point area. There is access to the Park off of 41 but be aware of heavy smoke and fire crew access. Otherwise we are really busting and fishing is great!

Mokelumne- With flows down to a steady 900cfs, the Lower Mokelumne is very...

I was guiding a client on the East Walker (thank you George) and we were getting into some nice trout right from the get-go. The morning was going well with many fish to hand and a couple of bigger trout lost to the current, the river is still running heavy in many sections. We even had a double hookup, my client and an osprey. While Jim was busy fighting what...

American River:
Flows - 3600cfs
Clarity - Clear
Fishing - Fair to Good
The shad are finally gone, YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! This means that its time for striper fishing again, and it has been getting better over the past few weeks. We are seeing the typically shakers, but a few bigger fish from 3-7lbs have been hooked as well, this will continue though...

North Fork Yuba River ~ Jamison Creek Fishing Report

Water levels are at an all-time low for the season resulting in even more fishable water. Fishing has been great using dry flies for small wild rainbows, and when using lighter rods you get to feel the tug, while seeing a bent rod. It’s been really fun! Water temps range from 56 in the morning to 64 in the...

Lower Sac

It¹s been 10 days since the 5.5 mile top section (or 1 mile of drift boat
water) was re-opened to fishing on the Lower Sacramento River here in
Redding. The fish and crowds have adjusted. The trout seem a bit wiser and
the crowds have thinned out a lot. We are settled into a mid-summer pattern
with the afternoons and evenings being the best time to be...

The beauty of fishing our rivers these days is the lack of people fishing, we have had recent days where we haven’t seen another soul on the water… believe me not complaining. The recent hot spell is behind us now and temps are hanging around highs of 90 degrees with some afternoon thunderstorm activity. I like these types of days, the humidity increase along with...

SteelheadIn the past week there has been a good slug of fresh shiny steelhead that has shot up on the Deschutes. Hopefully this is a good sign of whats to come. According to the weatherman, temperatures are going to cool down starting next week and there’s even a slight chance of rain. This should drop water temps on the Deschutes and drag more steelhead into the...

Flows are still a tad high for this time of year, but overall the fishing is great if you love small wild rainbows that shimmer like jewels in the Northern Sierra sun, and top water dry fly action. Water temperatures remain prime running 56 degrees in the morning and 63 in the afternoon for the upper watershed. It’s so awesome to see my guests truly appreciate a...

Finally a major cool down here on the Truckee River. Thunderstorms every afternoon have cooled things down.

Right when I thought the weather would never change, summer monsoons have hit the Truckee/ Reno area. August is usually kind of the time when we get some good afternoon rains. Obviously, the clouds and rain have made the fishing much better. A man could fish right...
