So…the lower Sacramento has just been lights out good the last week.  40 to 60 hookups a day are norm right now for those with some experience and a little help from the weather.  Several days of rain seems to have helped.  This won’t last forever as the river is getting more pressure as the [...]

In between rain showers, the lower Sac is fishing very good from the Posse Grounds to Anderson. Flows are at 3250 cfs and colored (good) from recent rains. The trout are in prime, football shape ahead of the main spawn. Tonight as I write this, steady rain has been falling all day in Redding and [...]

For the most part, the lower Sac has been fishing very very well despite the crowds of October.  The salmon “run” is trickling in and a few trout always seem to be caught in and downstream of the redds.  But…that said, most of the fish we’re boating aren’t anywhere near the few redds that have [...]

Stormy skies greeted anglers in Redding last week but, it didn’t seem to slow the fishing all that much.  Little wind was the key to success as Todd and Ryan from Menlo Park floated the lower Sac for the first time and we had a blast.  Day one we fished from Bonnyview down and had [...]

The month of January saw some wonderful  weather and equally consistent action on the Trinity for fresh, wild, chromie, bad-ass steelhead.   Most of my trips last month were very successful. We were   usually able to manage 1-3 nice fish landed per day with a few other assorted hookups. We got blanked a couple of days [...]

Busy…busy…busy!  A ‘crazy good’ fall was had on a number of northern California streams this year.  Easily one of the best fall seasons I’ve had (and numerous other guides) on the lower Sacramento since I began guiding.  The top floats down to Bonnyview Ave. produced good numbers and insanely big ‘bows consistently from October through [...]

Haven’t posted in a couple weeks…busy busy busy, and all over the map!  Good thing I guess.  In the last two weeks I’ve fished Antelope Creek Ranch (FF School), Upper Sac, Pit, McCloud, Lower Sac and Trinity (for half-pounders).  Mostly, fishing has been ‘ok’ with a few exceptional days and a couple of tough days.  [...]

Been a very very busy couple of weeks!!  I haven’t posted many reports because frankly, I’ve been too busy fishing, driving and sleeping.  So…this is a catch-up post, of sorts, for those of you keeping track. The big news right now is the Klamath.  The Salmonflies are out in abundance and I’ve seen some very [...]

Greg and Jason enjoyed a great couple of days in Shasta county this week.  Hat Creek continues to produce some great fish ahead of the Salmonfly hatch.  Only a few adult bugs were in the air but every likely spot on the river seems to hold fish willing to eat the big nymphs with abandon. [...]

Great weather and pretty darn good fishing was the story again this week on the lower Sac.  Flow changes on the river could have put a damper on things but, I suppose they have to eat every day, right?  The trick seemed to be remembering where we used to fish last fall when the flows [...]
