Trinity River
12/17/2018
steelhead fishing is good after the rain and it seems to tighten up then it rains again and it’s good again. There throughout the system. We’re catching them on rubber legs, copper Johns, pheasant tails, an egg patterns. They’re moving around so some days they seem to eat better then other days we have to work for them. When the water gets clear it seems to toughen up the bite. But now we have rain intermittent so that should keep some color in the river.

What can you say this thing just such a consistent Fishery. We are experiencing runoff on both sides of the mountain. Sacramento River seems to be a more delicate or sensitive to mudding from the car fire. But it is not coming through the Lakes which means it’ll clear fast. Bugs that are working caddisflies, mayflies and both PMD and bwo. So nice size fish fish up to 25 inches
Klamath River

Klamath River this river is fishing good as been the most productive of the year. You can expect a lot of fish but the steelhead run a little on the smaller side 2 to 5 pounds with a occasional bigger fish. Rubber legs, eggs another steelhead patterns the old standbys copper Johns, princes xcetera nonetheless all three rivers can give you the opportunities that you need in Northern California.

Right now we need rain on the Trinity with rain in the forecast there should be a push of fish that will come. November is typically a great trip. If it’s still fishing slow you can switch your float to the Klamath or Trinity. What’s rain next week take the timing could be very good depending on how much rain.

Sacramento River is fishing well using summer Caddis and blue Wing Olive mayflies and pale morning dun mayflies. In the evenings we are throwing Caddis dry flies very fun to catch him on the surface. The lower Sacramento River is unarguably the best trout fishing in California. Come fish with me and see why.

I was fishing by the mouth and some of the locals down there was saying was some of the best fishing last week that they’ve seen in years.

February 2018 – Fly Fishing Report
Mad River Fly Fishing Report
Caught this fish (pictured right) on the Mad River. Seeing about 30 steelhead hooked this month, averaging about 3 hook ups a day eel system. This river you have to decide to fish upon week or less notice. It doesn’t need to rain much to Dirty. These fish are up to twenty pounds. Average fish is 8 to 10 pounds. With fish 20 pounds +. This river runs along the avenue of the giants a famous scenic highway. I wonder if they named for the steelhead or the giant redwood trees it goes through. Just a odd coincidence I guess. Fishing into March is good on this river.
Trinity River Fly Fishing Report
Trinity River still fishing fair. The system should last into March. Average steelhead 4 to 6 pounds with a occasional 10 + Pounder. This river will stay in shape while others blow out. Weather pattern is turning to a wetter pattern that should keep fishing coming up the Trinity.
Sacramento River Fly Fishing Report
Sacramento River is fishing awesome. We are catching these fish under indicators. Black Caddis , pmd patterns, stone patterns, egg patterns: drys are great 2. Having up to 5 hours of drys caddies and pmd patterns. Spey swinging is also working well with small leech patterns . This river will also not dirty as easy in storms due to dam control.
