Lower Sacramento Trout Fishing– Flows coming out of Keswick are 8410cfs and steady. This is a GREAT flow and more than fishable. If anything a bit on the lower side. That said, the clarity is the issue. Lake Shasta is muddy and therefore the river is muddy coming out of the dam. I know there are people getting out and catching a few fish but nothing that I have heard...

Delta fishing is heating up. The fish are getting very aggressive and will eat just about anything that you throw at them. I am hoping this last storm will not muddy up the water. April should be very good for both quality and quantity.

San Luis Reservoir is also fishing very well. Starting to get good numbers of fish. They are liking smaller flies with lighter...

Capt. Bryce Tedford reports on 3.23.17

The fishing has been steadily improving out on the Delta this week but we will have to see what the current rains do to the clarity in a week or so. Currently, the 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 to 3-6’ & we are seeing water temperatures above 60 degrees...

Jim Andras reports on 3.23.17

About ready to pull the plug on what has been an extremely limited winter steelhead season on the upper Rogue. Flows continued to go in the wrong direction last week and today finally look stable. Unfortunately, too much flow continues to push through the dam and, with all the snow in the mountains above Lost Creek Reservoir, I cannot imagine any major change will...

With most of our local streams blowing out, I am heading north to Pyramid Lake this weekend for a change of scenery. I am looking forward to meeting up with some friends, casting for cuttys, and camping on the beach of an ancient lake.

Lower Owens River

The flows are above 700 cfs and have been for several weeks. The river is spilling its banks and there are sections...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 3.16.17

The coastal rivers are green right now and the season is over at the end of the month.

GO GET SOME!

The dry conditions are resulting in the only week-long window of fishing on the coast all season. A day here and day there is all we’ve had so far, and with March 31st approaching it’s time to go. We’ve heard good reports this week from the SF Eel and smaller...

Lost Coast Outfitters reports on 3.16.17

The surf and the Bay are heating up for stripers! The warm and dry weather is clearing up the water and the bait is getting scared. Schoolie stripers are appearing in the bays and points in Marin and East Bay and we’ve heard good reports from Pacifica on the beach side. 

Things will only get better from here on out. A couple storms are predicted to slide...

I just got word from the head of Parks & Recreation at Yuba County, and local guide Lance Gray, about Sycamore Ranch and Hammon Grove Park. Both areas will be opening this Friday! The take out ramp at Sycamore Ranch was not damaged, but there is erosion around it that will need to be addressed in the future. The county is hoping to get the upper loop of the...

Matt “Gilligan” Koles reports on 3.16.17

Near perfect weather on the Truckee River.

Still big water, almost up to 1,500 cfs here in the Hirsch again, but man, couldn’t ask for a nicer week. Lots of water coming out of Lake Tahoe.

Seems like the whole world is here fishing in Hirschdale. Remember, there’s like 50 fishable trout miles on the Truckee River. You may do better if you can get away from...

Truckee

The “Big T” is fishing well.  I think most people have received that message by now.  That is apparent because of all the people on the river.  The river is big, and it will be that way for the rest of the year.  Get used to it and get good at it. I am impressed with the size and health of the fish we have been getting into out there.   

This will be a year...
