Fishing Report

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

Matt Koles reports on 5.8.19

Good times on the Truckee River.

Flows have come down a bit since last week. 3,300 k here in the Hirsch. 3,800 last week.

Don’t hold your breath. I’m betting flows should come back up if we get some hot weather. Whatever it is, it’s high. Fishing is good though, and really not much has changed fishing wise since last week.

Fish the edges, look for some soft bank water. You...

Lower Sacramento Fly Fishing Report

Dave Neal reports on 5.8.19

The  Lower Sac River continues to be a solid option in northern
California right now. Fishing was fantastic this week. We have been drifting the big Sac from Redding to Anderson as well as down through Cottonwood these past few weeks - fishing 3-4 different floats in order to keep things interesting. The Redding area and floats below Anderson are starkly different - each...

California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Bryce Tedford reports on 5.8.19

Striper fishing on the Delta has been up & down but there are some solid fish to be caught if you are willing to work! Some days they are on a good bite, other days they just don’t seem to bite much, for the most part, we are catching solid fish each day. 

Winds have been up & down but manageable overall, a good double haul is always recommended in addition to a...

Lower Sacramento Fly Fishing Report

Dave Neal reports on 5.2.19

These past couples of weeks have been fantastic while we experience a return to
more typical Spring Season weather in the NorthState. The days have been
sunny and fishing has been pretty darn good on the Lower Sacramento River,
from Redding to Cottonwood these past 2 weeks.

After enduring a crazy wet cycle (that lasted for an eternity) and watching

flows on the Lower Sac blow...

Lower Sacramento Striper Fly Fishing Report

Captain. Hogan Brown reports on 5.2.19

Striper and Shad Fishing on the Valley Rivers is picking up!

There are good numbers of migratory stripers that have moved up the rivers and while a large group spawned late last week which tightened up the bite those fish have started to feed again. Flows on the Lower Sac have come down and clarity continues to improve making it easier to target spread out...

Lower Sacramento River Fly Fishing Report

Anthony Carruesco reports on 5.2.19

There has been some pretty spectacular fishing going on over the past week on the Lower Sac. 

Flows are currently just over 5K cubes and the fish have settled in nicely to the consistent flows. The bugs are still not that active yet but that certainly hasn’t stopped these trout from chowing.

A lot of different flies are getting bit right now.. from Caddis, PMDs,...

Trout Lake Fly Fishing Report

Wildwaters reports on 5.1.19

Trout Lake

A nearby lake that’s off most people’s radar other than locals is Trout Lake. This is a gem that offers outstanding trout and bass fishing.

Poppers on the surface were the ticket for us for some nice bucket mouths. This is a great option when others are off the table.

Hat Creek Fly Fishing Report

Wildwaters reports on 5.1.19

Hat Creek

Although Hat Creek was a very social scene and crowded Saturday Sunday proved otherwise. Our guides and clients found very good fishing at the Power House 2 riffle both days with Sunday being far fewer anglers.

The creek is in excellent shape running a bit high but gin clear. We witnessed occasional PMD’s and Caddis but nothing to get excited about….yet. This is...
