What a gorgeous weekend we had over here in the Monterey Bay! The weather was comfortable, the wind was low, and the swells were mellow… almost too mellow depending on what beach you chose. The Stripers have been spread out and harder to find the past few weeks though fish are being caught, just prepare to walk for them.

On Saturday we had Steph Vandenbrandhorninge...

Delta Striper fishing is rated good .  There are good numbers of Stripers and some quality fish that have moved in.  

This has been the best July that I can remember with lots of good size fish in the system.  I am hoping this is an indicator for a better than average fall run.  It’s time to plan with fall just around the corner.

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...

Sacramento River

Valley Striper Fishing - Fishing on the Sac has been fair to good. Hooked and Lost a few big fish this week. Good numbers continue to be caught on heavy sinking lines but top water fishing in the PM has improved and fishing around weed beds with lighter lines is picking up. 

Hot weather has warmed the water a bit but not a ton and the salmon...

The Sacramento, Feather and Yuba Rivers are producing great results for summer striper fishing on the fly while the Lower Yuba has been really been shaping up for some amazing foothill trout and steelhead fishing. The past months have given us some amazing visual eats in shallow clear water by healthy striper. We’re also beginning to see salmon in the river and with...

Hi Kevin and George,

Here is my LCO fishing report for July 26th, enjoy!

One of the most important tools to throw into your fishing vest now is a thermometer. Do not hesitate to use it. Just be aware that as the water temperatures go up, the amount of dissolved oxygen goes down. 68º is my cut off point. The rising water temperatures along with...

McCloud River

The McCloud has also reached Dog Daze status so the drill is think mornings and evenings. Fish the oxygenated water, the pocket water, and deep in the runs and pools. Heads of pools have been especially effective, get the bugs into that foamy rough water and pay attention to those quick bites that occur there. 

This river is presenting more...

Well it’s officially the Dog Daze of summer now. This means temps are north of 100 degrees during the day, the water is warming, the bugs are suffering heat stroke, wet wading is required unless you are allergic to water (wtf), and you best think about mornings and evenings with a nice midday break for lunch and a cold beverage. 

Whoopsies and falling...

Jon Baiocchi reports on 7.27.18

Fishing remains good on the North Fork Yuba even during this everlasting heat wave thanks to deep subterranean springs that feed the upper watershed. The flows have dropped a little, so focus on the deeper slots, runs, and plunge pools were the native rainbows are concentrated.

Fishing pressure remains light, there seems to be more swimmers than anglers lately. Water...

Delta

Steve Adachi living it up on the delta.

A mixed bag this past week, had some sticks on the boat & found some quality Stripers in the N. Delta along with Smallmouth & Largemouth. Lost Coast Outfitters own Steve Adachi came out to fish & he caught plenty of Largemouth & Smallmouth. 

Topwater Smallmouth continues to be the primary focus but Stripers are available if...
