Lower Sacramento River Fish Report

The Lower Sacramento River continues to amaze us with some of the best spring time fishing we have ever seen. This river tends to cycle and we are definitely on an upswing with many large fish hooked on each and every trip. The bite has been most consistent on PMD's though a few lingering March Browns and some summer caddis are getting grabbed as well as rubberlegs. The river has been fishing well from Caldwell Park all the way to Red Bluff.


Summer Caddis (Hydropsyche) hatches are building each afternoon and should help extend the good bite later into the day. Flows were raised today to 6,500 cfs and are scheduled to raise to 7,000 cfs which is ideal for drifting the river but will reduce the number of spots waders can fish effectively. We have some guide availability in the coming weeks including access for anglers confined to wheelchairs. Drop us a line for the latest.
