Winter’s returned.

Hard to stomach these last few days when you look at the calendar and it’s supposed to be spring, especially after the winter we’ve had. More snow on the way this week, geez.

Oh well, life could be worse, and we could bitching about having no water at all. Get used to the Truckee River being big and gnarly into summer.

There are fish to be caught. You...

Capt. Hogan Brown reports on 3.18.19

Been spending most of my time on Lake Oroville fishing for spotted bass. Water temps are up a bit and the sunshine is out. The spots are spread out between winter mode, pre-spawn, and even a few spawning fish I think. Fishing the float n fly is catching fish and we have been getting on some stripped fly bites midday in the coves where water temps are up. As the...

Shasta Lake

Has been fishing great, very large numbers of fish can be brought to hand right now. Water temps have been ranging from high 40’s to low 50’s. The average fish will go 1-1.5 lbs and we are finding the occasional one above 3 lbs. The majority of fish caught are Spotted Bass, with a few Smallmouth caught every day. The past few days we have landed a well...

Winter Steelhead.

We have been all over the Northern California and Southern Oregon and finding some fabulous steelhead. Many of the rivers are in prime shape after some severe high flows a only weeks ago. 

Hatchery and wild fish are being caught on most outings and it will remain good through March and into April. This is the time of year when we pull out some secret...

Trout fishing has gained the attention of some of our best guides and they have been getting into some real quality on the Upper Sacramento River. The river is high but clear and if you know your high water spots then you can go get bent. (thats a good thing). The salmonflies are getting active and even some adults have been seen. It seems early for hatches but they are...

Eastern Sierra Fly Fishing Report

The weather on the eastside has stabilized. It is a relief waking up to clear blue skies, albeit frigid temperatures, and not having to shovel out the driveway to get down to the road. The Sierra, in general, is running about 150% of normal for the season. I look forward to summer and a plethora of water and healthy fisheries.

If you...

Striper fishing is good in the Delta.  Finding clear water is the key right now. The fishing should improve as the water temperature approaches the sixty-degree mark

Evan Praskin reports on 3.14.19

I can feel it! Spring is approaching, the smell of migration is in the air, and the bluebird days are becoming more frequent. The striped bass are still being caught down here in Monterey Bay, but you’re going to need to pay your dues and cover water for these “washouts.” Last weekend the annual Sand Crab Classic perch tournament took place in Santa Cruz. 

This is a...
