Jim Stimson Reports on 10.13.2016

I have been dividing my time between fishing and photography. The autumn colors are about as good as it gets between Bishop and Bridgeport. The mornings are crisp with frost and some fog settling in along the river basins. Dress warmly if you head out early. Once the sun hits the valley however, it warms up nicely. With any luck we will be on the receiving end of...

Upper Sac 10-13

Fall colors and dancing October caddis are out on the Northern California rivers and you don’t want to miss the upper sac scenery and the last big hatch of the year. The evenings have been flooded with October Caddis flying around and it has been great throwing dries and dry dropper rigs. Try your favorite October caddis dries and nymphs...

The Truckee River is still holding steady- flows wise that is, good news, this weekend looks like we will get a lot of rain.

Been a long time since we’ve had serious rain/ snow in October. 2004 Donner Summit got 4 feet in October, and it never really stopped all year. Kind of an anomalous pattern for us this early in Tahoe, and hopefully storms will...

Hogan Brown Reports on 10.13.2016

Fishing has been picking up with a bit warmer water temps (59-61) everything could change starting thursday as the weather is going to change with a storm moving in to the North State. I am sure ounce the storm moves through and the weather stabilizes again fishing should pick back up. Best fishing has been during the later part of the day ounce water temps warm...

So far, the fall season at Lake Davis has been better than expected. The fall colors are turning on but this year has seen uneven colors, with many trees already dropping their leaves. Fishing pressure remains light. Water temperatures are 51 to 55 degrees. It needs to get a little colder for the rainbows to remain in the shallows all day long. Hopefully after...

AC Fly Fishing Reports 10.13.2016

The highly anticipated “egg drop” has yet to really happen this Fall. There are VERY FEW Salmon in the system this year.. Which shouldn’t be much of a surprise when you consider the reckless water management that has occurred over the past 5 years. You cant’t leave salmon redds, loaded with eggs, a foot out of water every year and expect to see salmon return to the...

Steve Santucci Reports on 10.13.2016

Good fly fishing for schoolie Stripers. The weather change with rain and wind will instigate and stimulate the Striper migration . Some double digit Stripers being caught with good numbers of schoolie Stripers available. Salmon are being caught as a bonus while casting for Stripers. I currently have a good number of available dates still open for October and...

Dave Neal Reports on 10.6.2016 

Lower Sacramento River continues to fish really well, despite the fact that the much anticipated “egg drop” hasn’t begun in full force just yet… maybe another week before it gets silly.

I’ve been bouncing around a lot this week floating different sections of the upper river from Redding to Anderson and on down through Cottonwood. I enjoy fishing every section of the...

First things first, Go Giants!

Autumn is on full display now on the high benches and most of the canyons along the Eastside. The mornings are very crisp with frost and some fog settling in along the river basins. Dress warmly if you head out early. Once the sun hits the valley however, it warms up nicely.

Lower Owens River

Jon Baiocchi reports on 10.6.2016

The last few weeks at Lake Davis we saw above normal temperatures with some days of light wind. During this time there were fish in the shallows until about 1pm, then returning to the first ledge in deeper water from 8 to 15 feet. Water temperatures went from 60 to 64, then 58 to 62 degrees. Currently after this last storm rolled through, the water temps dropped...
