Nov. Steelhead 2014

Sacramento River Steelhead fishing is good now, we have been hooking 4 or 5 a trip and a lot of Wild Rainbow trout. The river is on the murky side because there was a land slide above Shasta Dam that tuned the lake into a big mud puddle. Salmon fishing has been slow but we are hooking a couple Kings a trip. Winter run Salmon are fewer in numbers than the summer run but are usually bigger. Last week Dennis landed a 25 lb. Hen King Salmon and his buddy landed a 4 lb. Steelhead and about 4 other Trout in between. Back trolling plugs with a Sardine wrap or drifting roe has been hooking Salmon and Steelhead. Fly fishermen are using small nymphs or a small egg imitation pattern under an indicator. Bait fishermen are drifting crickets or roe. Plug fishermen are using hot shots or flat fish. We practice catch and release for trophy Trout and Steelhead on the Sacramento River. A camera is a must have on every trip especially now with the fall colors.
