One of my favorite quotes that you often hear me say is “conditions dictate as to how we fish. “This is the time of year that conditions change dramatically. With that being the case one thing that needs to change is your leader composition. The shorter leaders that you could get a way with earlier in...

Tioga and Sonora Passes are open, AND, the road down to Devils’s Postpone and the San Joaquin River is open. I fished down there on Monday to scout for a guide trip (someone had to do it). A lot of the water is high and fast but if you explored around you could find some softer water and grabby fish. It is a magical place to wander around and explore.

The North Fork Yuba River has finally fallen into shape though some tight sections of the river seem a tad high. Water temps are 55 degrees in the morning rising to 62 in the afternoon. Fishing is great for those beautiful wild rainbows, and the dry fly fishing is awesome. Anytime you can find soft water you’ll get takes, and some of the smaller pockets have many...

Steve Santucci Reports on 7.27.17

Delta Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass fishing is good.  For Largemouths it’s best to fish the early mourning or late afterrnoon
periods. We were using deer hair and foam poppers and getting some great blowups. Smallmouth fishing is good all day long. They seem to love the bright sunlight. Stripers will be starting up soon and it’s a good idea to target them in...

Topwater Smallmouth is still going strong in the North Delta & should last through Sept. Largemouth can also be good but you need to be out there very early in the am or very late in the pm for Topwater action. Stripers should show back up in the Delta sometime in Aug. but for now I would chase Stripers in the cooler rivers, out in the SF Bay or in San Luis...

The fire is still active to the north as it moves toward Groveland. Though in the scheme of things this is just a fishing report, the opportunity to share with you the need is here. These small communities in the foothills used to be proud to provide lumber and resources that built this state. As economies have shifted these communities have had to adapt and have...

AC Fly Fishing reports on 7.27.17

Flows are currently steady at 10k cubes and have been for some time now. The Lower Sac remains a great option for summertime trout fishing. We are currently seeing sporadic hatches of Hydropsyche Caddis throughout the day along with small PEDs and PMDs. The little bugs have become a pretty important item on the menu recently. As the sun starts to wane later in the...

Lower Sac Striper fishing - Fishing remains good to great depending on the day. We continue to land plenty of healthy quality fish in the 3-5lbs range are having shots at double digit fish each each with some true trophy’s in the mix (3 fish over 20lbs last week). Salmon fishing is open and boat traffic can be an issue but knowing where the salmon are will help know...

Ryan Johnston Reports on 7.27.2017

The Sac continues to pump out decent striper fishing. It seems that the numbers of fish has started to slowly decrease as is the case as we approach August. Most days right now we are hooking 15+ stripers. The quality continues to hold strong with a good amount of 3-5lbers in the mix. Seems like daily you can find 1-2 7lbers that will bend your 9 weight in half....

Richard Loft Reports on 7.24.17

Hi Everyone Richard here– I’m just checking in to keep you informed on what happening and whats not. I stay on the water regardless of the flows mainly because I don’t have many other interests and at pays to fish a lot regardless of the flows. Case in point, I was fishing the Creek recently and hooked what was approximately a 18 to 20 in’ Bow on a flashback–she...
