Upper Sacramento River Report

The river remains in excellent shape for winter and early spring fishing. The storm last night and this morning brought the river up to 550cfs and is currently dropping slowly. The river was getting a bit stale and clear due to the lack of rain but last night was just the thing we needed. The fishing remains great for big fish and we have had outstanding days with our clients. The large fish are still on the prowl and are eager to play over the entire river from Ney down to Dog Creek. The days will be extended now with daylight savings time but the mornings are still chiily so not necessary to get out there at the crack of. With the warming days I am seeing more and more bugs so make sure you have nymphs that represent Mayflies, Caddis, BWO’s and Stones. Unlike last season the river should remain in excellent shape for the next few months so don’t hesitate, get on it now. We have some excellent USac guides available for those who are looking for a fun day and a valuable tip or two.

Cheers

Lower Sacramento River Report

We are enjoying a very early spring here in the north state. The Lower Sacramento River in Redding is a great option now and is currently fishing great and will continue such through May and into June. The river is running low and clear with shorts and t-shirts the norm. Hatches are starting to show and the trout are hungry. A day in the boat here can be a delight for anglers. We cater to all levels of fly fishers too, groups, families, kids and friends are all welcome. So think about fresh air, serenity and the chance of catching a memorable Lower Sac fish with one of our excellent Wild Waters Fly Fishing guides.
