Still 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 the same day! Water temperatures have dropped below 70 degrees in much of the Delta with recent cooler weather. 

Hard to beat large size 2 Topwater frogs for Largemouth, small size 6-8...

Jim Stimson reports on 8.29.18

Damn! Adiós August. The smoke has pretty much cleared out and the temperatures are cooling down. The grasses and trees are getting a hint of autumn coloration. So enter September, an awesome time of the year to fish. Trout are getting fidgety in their search for cooler, oxygenated water, not to mention the brown trout are thinking about the autumn spawn. They are...

Yuba Fall Expectations

There has not been much buzz running around about the Yuba this past summer. I’ve been out there a handful of times lately with very positive results. The hopper fishing was lights out at the beginning of the month. I had a guest raise over 20 fish on the Fat Albert and he landed about half of them. The
health of the fish is impressive. They...

Putah Creek Fall Options

Do you feel the nip in the air? That is Fall breathing down our necks. I am getting really excited about the current water situation and what is around the corner. Fishing is always better if it involves a sweatshirt. Think about it: trout are cold blooded. They prefer cooler temperatures and feed more regularly. Most people fish during the...

Things sure have changed in the last week.

Temps have finally cooled and we are having highs in the 70’s in Tahoe. I needed this and so did the trouts.

Lows have been in the 30’s in the Hirsch, the heater is kicking on in the house in the mornings, fall is near.

With the drops in temps its obviously cooled water temps. That has made the fishing very inconsistent this last...

Capt. Chuck Ragan reports on 8.27.18

Striper on the fly in our Central Valley Rivers has been pretty rewarding.  We’re seeing great temps and active groups of fish on the Feather, Sacramento, Yuba and American Rivers.  Weather has been pleasant, clarity has been good, numbers have been good to great and much of the smoke if not all has cleared.  

If you’re on the books, we’ll look forward to seeing...

Capt. Hogan Brown reports on 8.27.18

Lower Sac Striper fishing has been good if you can get away from the salmon boats. There is salmon in the river and salmon fishing has been good…so that means LOTS of boats out chasing salmon. After a few years of really really poor salmon returns everyone is geared up to go catch salmon. That means we have to be a bit sneaky when it comes to striper fishing...

Richard Loft reports on 8.27.18

Hey everyone I just wanted to check in and report my recent fishing adventures for the last few outings; Putah Creek flows are still holding fairly high and making it tough in the deeper water but with persistence you can find a few willing fish or two to play in the deeper water– give the fish an advantage and they know just what to do! Recently I was fighting one...

Brett Wedeking reports on 8.23.18

After weeks of wilting in heat and choking on smoke, conditions are finally starting to shift to “normal”
summer weather and we’re even beginning to think about fall in the PNW. I even heard it might rain a bit… 

Yakima: 

Water temps and flows have been high—which is normal for the dog days of summer—but fishing remains decent to good. Nocturnal stones are the biggest...
