Surf

Talk about spring weather! We had a fantastic weekend fly fishing the surf with first-time surf chargers, Martin and Christian. The swell was really mellow with a light wind making it near perfect for throwing flies. We had a high tide around 11AM and as the tide pushed in so did the perch. Both of these guys picked up the surf game real fast and put plenty of...

Lower Sac 

The Lower Sac is currently flowing low and clear at 3,000 cubes. The fishing has been good, especially for those with a very quick hammer. Fish aren’t sticking around long to chew on your fly right now. There are little pockets and windows throughout the day that the fishing can be very good and there can be some lulls just the same. Overall there are...

Kevin DeGulis and The LCO team reports on 3.28.18

Knowing that April is on the horizon, the Lost Coast Outfitters team made it a goal to fish both the California Delta and the San Francisco day in one weekend.  

Delta

The first step was to prepare. Luckily, Friday Redington sent two 8 weight Crux and two 7/8 Redington rises to match. Ben had his Sage One with a Bauer Reel and one old-school sage...

The Bay

Could not have started the 2018 year off any better than on Wednesday the 28th. Had a guest on board from Banff and we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise stripping flys on Cronkite Beach then moving on to Red Rock for half dozen schoolie stripers.  

The conditions are perfect for a great striper and halibut year with all the bait and runoff. Olive over white...

Klamath and Rogue River

Still finding steelhead as we charge up and down the coast and throughout Southern Oregon. Surprisingly some of the biggest fish make their charge up into the coastal rivers now and you have the chance of getting into a fish of a lifetime. Further inland you can find fish on the upper reaches of the Klamath and Rogue Rivers. This has been an...

Upper & Lower Sac

The hatches are firing up on both rivers offering a wide variety of insects. You can expect to see Caddis, a variety of Mayflies, Stones and my favorite the good ole Salmonfly (USac) showing themselves. This is the time of year that the switch goes off and the fish come out to play. The perfect recipe for rising water temps, bugs popping and warming days...

Feather River

Feather River - The Feather River has been average as of late. There are more and more fish starting to show up in the system. Currently, there are a lot of fish in the 17-19" range. It has been challenging to find bigger fish this spring. It is just a matter of time before we run into a couple of good ones. One thing that needs to be noted is that the...

The Owyhee

Here’s the short and simple of it. If you like fishing dry flies on small streams for brown trout, the Owyhee is the place to be right now. The warm weather that hit us the past few days has really cranked up the Skwalla hatch. The skwalla hatch should have a week or so left until it’s gone for another year.

Don’t forget trout season on the Lower Deschutes...

California Delta

Delta water is clear in some areas and stained in others.  Luckily it is returning to its natural color with each passing day.  The water is 55 to 60 degrees.  Despite the conditions, we are still able to catch good numbers of fish.  Hopefully, we will see a big change within a week

Jim Stimson reports on 3.29.18

I believe we have turned the corner on winter. The morning temperatures are still crisp but it warms quickly with the sun being so high in the sky. The month of March turned out to be the “Miracle” as promised with a plethora of snow in the high country. The preliminary readings at Mammoth Pass indicate that we are close to normal for the season. This bodes well for...
