Delta Striper fishing has been very good.  Had a fun topwater session with two anglers catching 18 topwater stripers in one location. The action was fast and exciting.  Delta Largemouth Bass fishing is also heating up.

The Delta is less than a hour and a quarter from most of the Bay Area. Why not experience a Delta trip as the scenery is incredible...

First and foremost, my thoughts go out to friends in Baja reeling from hurricane Odile and to all those affected by the devastating fires in Northern California. Let’s be careful out there….

Well, we sill have some water in the Truckee River in the greater Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. Some spots are better than others and some spots have little, if no water at all. Everyone is hoping for some rain and soon. If you can find some deeper water/ buckets you will find fish. Fish have been keying in on beats mayflies, nymphs and dries, yes, I said...

Steelhead are showing up. The Low Flow is flowing at 900cfs and there is 600cfs coming out of the after bay for a high flow release of 1500cfs. I have not been over to the river but I know a few of the Sacramento guides are over there guiding so I am sure there is some fish around in the Low Flow but the high flow I am sure is still filled with salmon anglers....

The Lower Yuba has been dropped down to 632cfs as of today (15 sept) this is LOW… I have not been over to the Yuba lately but I imagine the egg bite will get going in the next week or two and be pretty darn good for a week or so then the fish will get pretty skittish with the low water…but who knows.

The Lower Sac has fished very well this past week with lots of big, well fed, wild trout coming to the net – along with reports of a few steelhead poking around down below Cottonwood.

The big river on many days has offered us plenty of solitude! Seems that a lot of folks have been saving their fishing equity for the October egg drop madness that hits town...

Browns. That should be all I need to say but let me dive into this! As fall/winter creeps up on us (today woke up to snow, tomorrow 65 F and sunny, hey it’s Montana), the browns are getting super angry and horny.  The fall run is approaching fast and we, the angler and fish, are gearing up for some of the best fishing of the year.  

As for now the...

Fishing on the McCloud River remains good, though challenging. This time of year we see very little bug activity. An occasional pmd or beatis hatch and some caddis in the shadows is all we get. Many of the best holes now have a large brown trout or two in them keeping the rainbows in check and afraid. Now with the full moon most of the hatches and feeding...
