The river is now up to 10k, which is almost the standard summer flow!  Fishing has been good to excellent.  

Caddis and PMD’s have been the ticket this time of year. If you are looking for a great summer time drift, now is the time to do it! We start around 10am and get off the river around 7pm. We still have dates available, so call or email to set up your drift...

Topwater Smallmouth has been primary focus this week. Stripers are available if you are willing to work for them but they can be hit & miss this time of year. In addition to the Smallmouth & Stripers, 

Topwater Largemouth can be good the first few hrs of morning or last few hours of day. Hard to beat large size 2 Topwater frogs for the Largemouth, small size 6-8...

Delta Striperfishing is really good.   There are good numbers of quality fish in the system.  We areusing large flies  and fishing shallow waters.  Rio intermediate lines in a type 3 or type 1 are getting  the bites.

Fortunately for those who live in the Redding area, the Carr fire has moved away from town. Although it remains smokey most days, the river conditions are excellent and the fishing is good. We’ve had a lot of questions recently about river conditions from the fire. To clear this up: the river was not impacted at all from the fires. Yes, it was devastating to some...

The McCloud River has been interesting as of late. The river is starting to see a little glacial silt from Mud Creek. There have been few hatches and very little bug life. The weather has been hot and smokey. 

The poison oak and black berry bushes are in full growth, the rattlesnakes and hornets are buzzing, its summertime in the canyon. 

Luckily that means big brown...

Morning is the best time on the Truckee River.

Give yourself a break, it’s about 95’ish on the lower river in the afternoons. 100 in Reno.

Nice and cool and really good solid fishing in the morning. Hot and smoke in the afternoons. Kinda the way it is in the summer on the Truckee River.

Crayfish, nocturnal stones, caddis and baetis should be in the nymph box. Get after it...

Delta

With some kids on the boat newer to Fly Fishing, Topwater Smallmouth has been my primary. That said, Stripers are available if you are willing to work for them but they can be hit & miss this time of year in the Delta. 

In addition to the Smallmouth & Stripers, I took a day to focus on Topwater Largemouth in the South Delta & had some success with large...

Sierra Nevada 

August?!? Really? Already?

Yesterday, the Upper Owens got nuked with lightning, causing a couple brush fires. The fires got dosed immediately by tankers and helicopters but the air is thick with smoke this morning. A big thank you needs to go out to all of the firefighters throughout the West. What a mess….

One of the most important tools to throw into your...

Ryan Johnston reports on 7.31.18

The striper fishing on the Sacramento River has been really solid the last few weeks. We have been catching about 25+ stripers a day from shakers to about 4 lbs. It seems like once a day you have a legitimate shot at a 7-8lber. With the cooler water temps this year it has been really hard to find the big fish. 

The good news is that the last couple of weeks the...
