Delta

The weather is warm, the water has cleared & we are catching some fish. We have been dealing with some windy days that can make fishing a challenge but there are some fish to be found. 

We are still working hard to get good #’s of fish & have been averaging 10-15 fish to 5lbs with an occasional larger fish mixed in. With water temperatures, 65+ degrees the...

Hey, everyone, I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I would post an update.  I’m not going to cover the bug info, which was nicely covered by my colleague guides already; but I’m going to give my current tips and access points for Putah this Spring.

Access #5 produced a 16 in fish hiding in a rifle I have fished many times in the past but so much of the river has a...

Nearby Lakes

Just to switch it up a little, those looking for something different we are finding some great bucket mouth fishing in nearby lakes. It’s that time of the year for these ravenous creatures to go on the prowl and we are getting into some excellent top popper action. You might think about stalking these beast early morning and topping off the day with chasing...

McCloud River

The McCloud River awaken from her long winters rest Saturday. She presented us with her magnificent beauty, spectacular spring foliage, and perfect water conditions. Ash Camp as always had it’s opening day crowds but no problem, it was like a big group hug rather than a battle for spots. The McCloud does put out that kind of vibe for us as she should. Reports...

Upper Sac

The Upper Sacramento River is fishing great right now. With the diminished snowpack and lack of high water, May fishing will be some of the best we have seen in years. Most fish are being caught under an indicator but late afternoon and evening are showing signs of top action. We are starting to see the beginnings of Mayfly and Caddis hatches which will only get...

Kevin DeGulis report  4.26.18

I want to share with you guys a story. It was October of 2017 and it was my second week living in the great state of California. George and I made the six-hour trip from San Francisco up to Shasta Lodge meeting a crew of gentleman who planned to fish the upper sac, McCloud, and Klamath River. I had no steelhead punch card or have even heard of such a thing since iv...

Merry Fishmas! After a week hiking around in Utah (Spring Break), we are back at it; cleaning lines, replacing old leaders, and tying some bugs for the Trout Opener on Saturday. It looks like we might actually have some decent weather for a change. See you out there!

Monterey Surf

Well, it’s that time of the season when the Stripers have pushed down from the coast and are invading our Monterey Bay beaches!! 

There has been some steady reports of schoolie fish being caught at quite a few different beaches along with some more decent fish in the mix. If it was my call I’d give that perch gear a rest and pull out the bigger baits and...

Hello All! The trout opener is finally here (Saturday)! I am excited to be back in Siskiyou county after being down in Southern California for 3 weeks.

I have been fishing the evening bite, and it has not...
