Sorry for the lack of reports, but there has really been no change. The King Salmon fishing on the Sacramento River is still red hot! Limits are still the rule. The average fish is weighing around 10-15lbs with the occassional 20lb fish. We have seen some larger fish caught and have even lost one that was approaching the 35-40lb range (yes the one the got away!) There are still fresh fish moving into the system daily. With reports from the bay of all the new fish staging, this could prove to be a long season, lets hope so!! |

Sacramento River King Salmon fishing is about as good as I have ever seen it! A lot of fish in the 10-15lb range with the occassional 20lb plus seems to be the typical bag limit, with the occassional 30-40lb fish being caught. There are a ton of fish in the river right now and almost all good fisherman are scoring limits. Fish are being caught on both plugs and eggs, with eggs having the upper hand. This fishing should continue for some time as usually September is our best month. If September is better than August, look out!!! |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing will be open on the Sacramento River from July 16th to December 18th. The early indications are that this will be a large return of King Salmon, similair to what we saw 6-7 years ago. I have very few spots left as many are booking early after years of closure. If I can not accomodate your date, I may be able to refer you to another very qualified guide. Take care and looking forward to a great season! |

Striper fishing on the Sacramento River should be great this year thanks to the late rains and high water. It also looks like we will have a longer and possibly normal King Salmon Fishing season on the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. King Salmon numbers on the Sacramento River in 2010 were up from the last few years. Sacramento River Guides will be awaiting the final decision and will keep you posted. Thanks for checking in. |

Well it looks as though there is going to be some King Salmon fishing in Ca this year! There will be King Salmon fishing on the Feather River from July 31, 2010 to August 31st. The Sacramento River will be open to King Salmon fishing October 9th through December 12th. These dates will fill up fast due to the limited seasons, so book early to reserve your date! |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing will be open in 2009 from November 16th through the end of December from Red Bluff to Colusa. They actually shortened the season over last year by 2 weeks. This time of year is not known for large numbers of fish being caught, but the late fall King Salmon that we catch are quality fish and usaually larger in size. This is the time of the year when the monsters show up! Typically the boat traffic is minimal which makes for a relaxing day on the river. Last year we had some great days even with the lower than average flows. Book early to get the date you want!! Being such a short season, this will fill up fast. Take care and thanks again to all for your continued support. |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing ended today and we went out with a bang. After a foggy, freezing cold morning, Randy Cunningham of Chico CA caught a dime bright 33lb buck. The fish took a K16 Kwik Fish and after about an honest 20 minute battle the fish was in the net. It still had scales on it!! We then hooked into and landed a 25lb river anchor with a nice new plug attached to it! The fate of next year remains to be seen, but early indications are not good for a Salmon season. Thanks to all for your continued support and have a safe and happy New Year!! |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing has continued to be tough. The water is as low as I've ever seen it. There are some decent reports from the Teasdale area from time to time, but not much happening in our neck of the woods. You really have to be in the right place at the right time to get bit. There are just not many fish moving through right now. The last few times I have been out we have seen people digging boats off gravel bars so be CAREFUL!! We are expecting some rain at the end of next week and should that happen fishing will improve. |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Report- This is more of a story than a report. I just received these photos of an absolute monster King Salmon found dead in Battle Creek just below the Coleman fish hatchery. The fish was 4 1/4ft long and weighed 85lbs dead. It would've broken the state record if it would've been caught alive. They guessed it to have weighed in the 90's and the Sacramento River record is 88lbs. In fact it may have been the largest Salmon ever caught in the country, with that record at 97lbs!! I put the photos in the photo gallery for you to see. Fish on!!! |

Sacramento River Salmon Fishing opened this weekend. After a long wait, Salmon anglers were finally able to get out and fish for King Salmon. The weather was less than favorable on Saturday. I was unable to fish that day and from what I heard, I did not miss much. One fish out of close to forty boats at Hamilton City!! Not to mention it was cold, windy and raining. On Sunday I fished with a group from Santa Rosa and we had a great time. The weather was almost perfect (just a little windy) and we about had the river to ourselves. We did manage to land a beautiful 32lb male that was very bright. Early November is not typically known for being the prime time to fish for late fall king salmon so landing the one we did just added to a great day. As we get later into November and into December, the fishing for late fall Kings will typically improve. Take care and enjoy the short season we have!! |
