It’s the calm before the storm as a series of weather systems and an atmospheric river prepare to invade northern California. We hardly noticed the shifting downward spiral of the air temperatures on the Lower Yuba River today, though the Pseudocloeons (tiny BWO’s) did not come off until an hour later than normal. It was a glorious morning with Ruby Crowned...

Jim Stimson Reports on 12.8.2016

And voilà! Just as the weather forecasters predicted, we have snow! Not exactly an “atmospheric river” but there is snow on the ground with more expected throughout the weekend. The ski area is reporting a half foot. The paved roads are slick and I am guessing that the Upper Owens River will have some mucky conditions to contend with. Be careful out there! Today...

John Rickard at Wild Waters Reports on 12.8.2016

Had to shovel the boat out of the snow this morning, as we got about 6 inches last night. Wild Water’s guides have been on the Klamath, Trinity, Lower Sac and Upper Sac this week. I’d say the best news is coming from the Klamath as fish have been coming to the net on most trips from Orleans to Hornbrook. The Iron Gate stretch has the most numbers but...

Ryan Johnston Reports on 12.8.2016

This last week I have been bouncing my fishing venues around quite a bit from trout, to steelhead, to bass. It has been a fun week of switching out rods and techniques to put my clients into fish.

The Lower Sac trout fishing continues to be average for this time of year. The upper stretches near Sundial are starting to see less pressure and more people are now...

The Lower Yuba River is currently fishing fair. There is less active salmon spawning, and more evidence of carcases on the banks and in the idle side waters. As of today, the flows from Englebright reservoir have been ramped down from 1,212 cubes to 1048 cfs, and Deer Creek is trickling in at 21 cubes. Water clarity is clear at this time. There is a few chances of...

Jim Andras Reports on 12.2.2016

Wet weather this week caused the upper Rogue to spike nearly 600 cfs on Monday raising the flows to nearly 3000 cfs at Dodge Bridge. We managed to land some good fish in the morning and then they seemed to disappear with the rising and colored water. The good news is flows continue to drop and the forecast does not call for any significant rain over the next five...

An LCO customer fished Pit 3 this past weekend and had great fishing with a rubberleg as top fly and Red Copper John as a dropper. 

I got skunked 4 mornings last week. I had a customer come in and tell me he found fish at China Camp at high tide in the grass this past weekend. I guess I was looking in the wrong places or the fishing the wrong tides. I am headed up to Inverness this weekend and will fish the surf. I will have a report when I return.

Lower Feather River

River is fishing fair. The quality of fishing really depends on finding fresh water…aka fish that haven’t been caught or fished over. Tough to do during the weekends and on holidays. There are a few fresh fish but not many as fishing tends to taper off during the end of November. Highest concentrations of fish are in the Low Flow and swinging...

Matt Koles Reports on 12.1.2016

Looking and feeling a lot like winter on the ole Truckee River and Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

We had some pretty good snowfall and temps are for continued cold in our area.

The Truckee River is still about the same as last post. Flows are about 225 cubes here in the Hirsch and bit higher down into Nevada. Winter fishing folks. Trouts have moved into slower deeper water....
