The fishing has been steadily improving but weather has been creating challenges. The striper bite has been improving & we are seeing more fish in the 4-6# range which is a lot of fun! Clarity in the main Delta has greatly improved as well & we are seeing water temperatures around 60 degrees. My guests have been fishing chartreuse/white clouser minnows in the 4-6"...

Hey everyone its really good to be back on the water again and now the flows are at a level I can wade at last! The flows were at about (751cfs) today so overall a great day to be on the water. I had 2 clients for almost 8 hours so I was excited to have these guys for a full day as that it gives me an opportunity to help them work on their casting accuracy and...

Truckee River Update

The Truckee River continues to run with big flows, and those flows have increased in the past couple of days. Lake Tahoe is now releasing 1,210 cubes, Glenshire is now at 2,310, and down in the canyon it’s even bigger at around 4k. Weak storm systems have been passing through with intermittent breaks. We’ll see another break into this weekend,...

Early April is always a month of cool, unsettled conditions and so far it has lived up to its reputation. Last weekend we went through yet another atmospheric river with the ski area receiving several feet of snow. The Sierra is blanketed in white again all of the way to the valley floors. I have to say, it is quite beautiful. That said, beware where you drive (see...

Delta fishing is holding up to be decent.  A few more storms have rolled thru making the fishing tough.  Fishing should improve as the weather stabilizes.  All fly sizes are working, as the fish are willing to eat if you can get the fly in front of them.  Water clarity is good in most places and the water temps are right around 60 degrees.

Really, really good despite the very high flows.

Hard to believe that I’m saying we are catching fish at 4000k on the Truckee River, but we are. The fish we are catching are big, fat healthy fish. Not getting lots of numbers, but big fat gnarly fish we are getting. Like I’ve been saying, find some good bank water and hit it. Don’t wade in. Hit it with some weight and...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 4.6.17

Sharpen your hooks and your casting stroke, the spring migration is building and the Bay is fully worth a few hours of your time. I’d stay inside tomorrow, unless you have a masochistic streak, but by Sunday we’re looking good and the stripers will be boiling across four counties!

The water seems to be clearing every day as the rivers feeding the Delta are...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 4.6.17

The Truckee River seems to be the best game in town for moving water in the north state, and it just keeps getting better despite the high flows. As you are well aware, the spring runoff is under way, but the bulk is yet to come. We may see it peak at the end of May if the region does not experience a huge jump in air temperatures, big wind, and continued sunshine. If...

Yosemite Report

Storm this weekend with 4″ of rain expected, narrow windows of  opportunity so get out and enjoy when you can. As always check before you go, fish the edges with caution. Here are some shots of the Kings River above Pine Flat ushering in a great bloom and time to fish. Pinecrest Lake is a great still water opportunity with some hungry brood stock!
