Lower
Sacramento River ~ Northern
California The Lower Sacramento is famous for its healthy population of football-shaped wild Rainbows. We use comfortable drift boats to access the most productive areas of this large tailwater, always in search of that next monster Rainbow. The Lower Sac offers year round opportunities for excellent trout fishing and a great day on the river!
Lower Sacramento River Information March, April or May *** Springtime on the Lower Sac is the most productive time of year. Midday caddis hatches can be seen blanketing the water. This is the time of year you hear about the famous "Mother's Day" caddis hatches. On some days we catch trout on dry flies in fast rolling currents but subsurface patterns always seem to be more productive on the Lower Sac and we use caddis pupa patterns to fool very large trout. Trout are very hungry waiting to get ready for spawning and it is not unusual to hook 20 or more trout in a day when the bite is on! Please respect all spawning trout and stay away from the spawning areas and the spawning beds called redds. June, July or August *** Summer is always hot on the Lower Sac both angling and in the boat. We seldom wear our waders then, shorts and tevas are best for comfort... Most days are in the 100 degree range so wear a wide brim hat for the sun and bring lots of sunblock. We always have plenty of water, a great guide lunch and productive fishing since the water that comes out of the Keswick Dam is temperature controlled at a constant 56 degrees. You might be hot but the fish are happy and hungry for hydropsyche caddis! September, October or November *** Fall is a great time to fish on the Lower Sac. In September, the water starts to be lowered from the higher flows of summer, and then the salmon begin to arrive. As salmon begin to lay their eggs in all sections of the river, hungry trout move into these areas to gorge themselves on the salmon's eggs. You will also experience the arrival of steelhead in the lower sections of the river, from Anderson down to Los Molinos, and our guides fish this lower river frequently and land huge steelhead and trout. This truly an exciting time of year we look forward to always. December, January or February *** This time of year depends on the weather we receive in the North State. Though the fishing is not as productive as other months, the size of the trout can be amazing.
Check out our adventures on the Lower Sacramento River Weblog Entries from mtshasta.com October 18th, 2006 ~ Dave Earl and the Pontoon Boat October 19th, 2006 ~ Pat and the Caddis Hatches Our guides are on this river everyday. We take pride in having some of the best knowledgeable guides available for guiding like Mike Hibbard, Jim Roberts and Jack Trout, who have been fishing and guiding it for decades. Our guides are professional and passionate about their guiding on the Lower Sac and have developed many new methods and fly selections that are used today on this nymph fishery. We've been fishing and guiding this section of river for over 20 years and have found that slack-line mending with a strike indicator is the most effective way to fish the Lower Sacramento River . Drag-free drifts, throwing out extra line, as well as mending upstream are mandatory for success. Please do not fish on or around spawning trout especially in the spring. Our guides are always polite out on the river and set an example by being courteous to other guides, fishermen and boaters. Have fun and good luck! Call us for any information, on flows, hatches, fly selection or to book a guide and drift this California fly fishing jewel.
