Currently as of Saturday January 19 the Russian is dropping after the storm that produced 9.5" of rain in the hills North of Guerneville. We are looking at a high muddy river but the good news is long term forecasts are calling for a drying spell starting on Monday and could last through the weekend and maybe longer. This would be great news for the Russian since it will give it some time to drop and clear up a bit. My fishing forecast is calling for plunking conditions to start by the end of the week and drift or lure fishing by the weekend. Were are moving into prime steelhead time so there should be plenty of fish throughout the entire system when it comes into shape. Give us a call at Kings for an up to the minute report 707-869-2156.
Report Date:
Currently the Russian is at 10000 cfs and muddy. With storms backed up across the Pacific we are looking at several weeks before the river is down. However after this next series of storms (Fri night, Sunday night and Tuesday night) there may be a drying period of several weeks so the end of January/first of February is looking good! If you have an itch to scratch try the coastal streams or setup at JB and try some plunking!! ......
Report Date:
Its been a great start to the 2019 steelhead season on the Russian and Alex Martinelli shows us just how......
