Upper Sacramento River Report

The Upper Sac has been experiencing the leading edge of the snow melt recently and the flows are just south of 3000 cfs which may scare some of you away. Rest assured the river can be fished at these flows, it isn’t pocket water style fishing so common on this river, it’s more of a big water game and knowing your high water spots. We have been experiencing one of the best winters in memory and getting into some of those the fabled lake run fish (we call them steelhead descendants) that test your skills. I suspect that these flows will be around for awhile so best get used to them. All you need to see is the shot below taken at about 7500 ft. on Mt. Shasta to realize there’s plenty of water in the bank and coming downstream soon. If you would like to join in on our fun as Mother Nature does her runoff thing and learn a few worthwhile tips from one of our seasoned USac guides give us a call or check in with Bob in the shop.

Cheers
