October Trout Fishing

The Wild Rainbow Trout fishing has been great the past couple months on the Lower Sacramento River Between Redding and Red Bluff.
The Steelhead are starting to show up we hooked a couple the last trip out and many Wild Rainbow Trout, one Salmon with all the fish moving in to spawn you don‘t know what you will hook on your next cast.
Have been using cadis fly’s , may fly nymphs, glow bugs or side drifting crickets and pulling plugs with great success. Trout are very acrobatic when hooked in shallow water ,jumping many times.
The weather has finally cooling down a bit that makes it a lot more fun to go fishing
Go fishing and have fun !! That’s what it is all about
Hooked On Fishing.

Spring Trout Fishing 2009

The Wild Rainbow Trout and Steelhead fishing is good as always on the Lower Sacramento River, The flows have came up for irrigation. We went down to the river the other day and hooked five Wild Rainbow Trout and a King Salmon. We saw a couple of Wild Rainbow Trout rising for flies. The Trout are biting on fly’s, live bait , glow bugs and plugs. There is so many different kinds of wildlife to see on the river like families of Geese, Otters, Eagles, Turkeys, Ospreys, deer, Pelicans and many others.
The Bass fishing on Shasta Lake has been good also using plastic worms, jigs, hard baits, live bait you name it and the fish are biting on it. The Bass are in 3 feet of water to 30 feet deep.
Striper fishing has been picking up slowly in Colusa but in the next couple weeks we should see a lot more fish showing up.

Jan.& Feb. Trout fishing 2009

The Sacramento River flows are very low right now between 3200 and 3300cfs. That has allot of the boat ramps high and dry.
The Wild Rainbow Trout fishing is good as always on the Sacramento River we are also catching a couple of Steelhead each trip out that weigh from 2lbs. To 5lbs. The weather has been good for winter steelhead fishing but the recent storms will change that for awhile it take a few days to warm enough to get the bugs to hatch again for the fly fisherman but there are other ways of fishing the Sacramento River that work very well. The Trout are biting on fly’s, live bait , glow bugs and plugs.
Have made a few sturgeon fishing trips in the past 3 months and had allot of fun fighting these big fish .A 6 footer is a BLAST they are so big and powerful it takes about 30 minutes to land one.

Dec. Salmon

The Late Winter Salmon fishing season was nothing but a disaster with the closer of the area between the Deschutes Bridge and Red Bluff they shut down the only good section of the river to Salmon fish this late in the year .Hopefully next year this will change.
The Trout and Steelhead fishing has remained good The best bite has been on small nymph patterns but bugs and plugs work also. Good luck.
Have a nice Christmas and a happy new year.

Nov. Salmon & Steelhead

The late winter special Salmon season opened Saturday Nov. 1st with a lot of rain and wind that muddied up the river and added a lot of leaves to make the fishing very difficult. The recent rain will prompt more Salmon and Steelhead to head up river to the spawning grounds moving more fish into our area making the fishing much better.
The Trout and Steelhead fishing has been good lately hooked many 2lbs. To 3lbs.Wild Rainbow Trout last trip out and one 6lbs. Hatchery Steelhead .The Trout and Steelhead are biting small #14 or #16 nymphs ,glow bugs, hot shots or drifting roe.
