Have you ever experienced fishing the Lake Almanor “Hex”? If so, then this is a great opportunity for you to do it again! If you haven’t then come up and find out what it is like to see 100’s of Hexagenia’s on the top of the water and see Rainbows slurping them. When they aren’t slurping then we will attack them subsurface. Oh and by the way you might hook up some very large...

The Trinity River fished pretty well last weekend but then seemed to get tougher and tougher for the later part of this week. Water down through Junction City was in great shape (until yesterday) holding good color and on a slow drop each day. There did not seem to be many fish around and the few that were biters were spread out.

Most guide boats I talked with that gave...

The Lower Sac is still flowing big and mean right now–Currently 25,400 cfs (WOW) and has been flowing big for awhile now. I have still seen people drifting it at these flows and I have seen some big fish being caught. If you do drift it, you can expect the crowds to be low, but I would not recommend it unless you are with someone with experience on the oars. Storms...

Lower Yuba River Fishing Report

The Lower Yuba River dropped down to a slowly descending platform of 4,626 cubes. On my latest recon trip last week I saw some good looking side water that was screaming to be fished with a streamer. I had planned on fishing the river this past Monday and Tuesday but I came down with a nasty virus. When you have not been sick in years...

The lake is still closed and the tribe issued a press release today stating that there will be no refunds given for permits. While this may anger some people think about a few things: First, the tribe needs our support and money to get the lake back to a safe place to fish. Second, this is due to weather, something that is out of anyone’s control. If you bought a...

Sunny and mild, cold overnight lows.

High pressure has set in. Clear cold nights, warm afternoons on the Truckee River. One more storm to roll in Friday. After that it’s looking like high pressure will set in for the first week or two of Feb. Expect cold nights and warmer afternoons.

The cold overnight lows have dropped the water temps a bit and the trouts seem to really...

Technical Nymphing Clinic

Putah Creek

Let’s face it, California is a nymphing state when it comes to trout fishing. While we all prefer those great days of dry fly fishing when it comes to fishing day in and day out we need to get those flies down to the bottom of the river.

We are offering a technical nymphing class to help get you dial into everything right for those picky fish....

It may surprise you to know that the Truckee can fish the best in the winter months. Remember that every fish needs to feed daily. The tough part is that it is brutal on you. You need to be a tough angler to fish it and in relatively good shape. With the high snow banks, access is very limited. This is one of the reasons to go with a guide right now. We know the best...

Steve Santucci reports on 2.2.17

Fished San Luis for the second time in as many weeks.  The lake is shaping up nicely as it is about 25 feet from maximum elevation.    Ended up catching some nice schoolie size fish.

The Delta is clearing but still off color in most places.  I will be fishing the Delta this next week in between fronts. Hopefully, I will have a positive report for next week.

Jim Stimson reports on 2.2.17

It is official – more snow has fallen this January than in any other month in Mammoth’s recorded history with 246” (that’s over 20 FEET!). The previous record was smashed by more than 3 feet. Now we head into February and March, statistically the wet winter months. We have had nearly a week off from the constant shoveling and snow removal. The blue skies have been...
