Sacramento River

Today we fished the Sacramento River near Anderson, Ca.  There were lots of boats on the water today and there were a lot of fish caught as well.  I wouldn't say it was on fire, but as the bite turned on and off people were hooking salmon.  We caught a few larger adult salmon today, including a 20 pound hen, and...

Sacramento River

We fished the Sacramento River again today for King salmon.  We're still not seeing a lot of bigger fish in the system above Hamilton City, but theres still time!  Two year old fish are abundant, and although some days are better for some than others, its still good fishing.  The water temps sre great and the vegetation debris in the...
