Once again a mixed bag out there as we found some quality Stripers, Largemouth & Smallmouth this week. This time of year it can be a fun challenge to chase the “slam” of all 3 bass species in the same day! 

Water temperatures are back at 70-72 degrees in much of the Delta with warmer weather this week. Hard to beat larger size 2 Topwater frogs for Largemouth, smaller...

Needless to say this summer has been testing us all here in the north state. I wish I could give you all a glowing fishing report this week but Mother Nature is having her way with nonstop fires that are affecting us all in many ways. It seems as soon as one fire gets contained then another erupts. As you know the Carr Fire in Redding wreaked its destructive havoc, then...

The Lower Sac below Red Bluff has been really fun the last couple of weeks. It is the time of year where we start focusing our efforts on the lowest sections of the Lower Sac looking for trout, steelhead, stripers, and bass. The trout fishing down here has been really good as of late. Add in some nice stripers swimming around and the first wave of steelhead makes for...

Summer is gone on the Truckee River, and fall fishing now.

Kids are in school, the burners are done, the last party of summer. Time to get serious with some fall fishing.

We’ll pretty much have an empty river now except for some weekends. I’m guessing the flows will stay up out of Lake Tahoe this fall, but hard to say. Regardless, I think flows will be good for the next 3...

Lower Sac Striper Fishing - Striper fishing is hitting the fall season and fishing has been pretty good with double digit fish each day and good numbers of 5-8 pound fish. There are TONS of salmon boats on the water as the salmon fishing on the Lower Sac has been pretty dang good which means the egg bite for trout and steelhead fishing in the lower river should be...

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking out Lars who was visiting the SFbay on a business trip from the UK. Since he visits a few times a year, he wanted to learn about the local waters and how to approach them. I picked him up at his hotel downtown and after a quick breakfast we were at our first stop within 15 minutes( a very short Uber ride if you are car less.)...

The canyon was buzzing with people over the holiday weekend and the river was fished over well in the more popular access areas. Change is in the air, and the seasons are shifting into the fall pattern, the second season is under way. Water temperatures have dropped in the upper watershed due to colder nights, now at 56 in the morning, and 62 in the afternoons.

The Hirz Fire is still burning up the McCloud arm from Shasta Lake.  The river is still open at The Nature Conservancy and above and the fishing is good if you can take the smoke.  Some days are worse than others. 

I’ve been fishing as far North as the Williamson and as far West as the lower Klamath. It’s hard to get out of the smoke. The fishing is good though.

An amazing Summer is coming to an end at Putah Creek. Flying full-speed into Fall, more great fishing is very near. Flows will drop as irrigation demands decrease. Fish will be concentrated in riffles and runs, much easier to target now in the lower water. Wading will become easier and more areas will be accessible. September and October are PRIME-TIME at Putah.

Wow, what a week in the surf. It seems we have finally hit the dog dawgs of summer and things seem to be clearing up. It all started on Thursday, with my new two-hand switch rod set up (highly recommend). Schoolies couldn’t get enough of Clouser minnows, and this was the first time in a month I was able to find a consistent amount of stripers from the surf....
