Sacramento River - CA

Current River Conditions:
River flows are at 7,000 CFS. Fishing has been good! We have great water conditions, although the river is a little on the high side for best wading conditions. Be careful if you plan on wading! Seems like the salmon egg bite has tapered off for the time being. Good baetis hatches in the morning hours are producing better AM fishing with consistent action through out the day. The caddis are coming off through out the afternoon. It's a nymphing game right now. Little if any dry fly fishing for now. Good flies: #16 Brown Micro Mayfly, #12 Birds Nest, Glass Tail Caddis.

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Fishing a long, 9' leader tapered to 3x (the second fly can be attached using 4X) with a big indicator and an SSG split shot will get the flies down to the fish. If you are wading the river and not in a drift boat, add another AAA or even a second SSG to your rig. The sooner the flies get to the bottom of the river, the more time you spend "fishing". Look for the first of the fall-run Chinooks setting up in shallow water, fanning the rivers gravel and preparing for the Autumn spawn. Trout are always near the spawning salmon.
Bridge News:
All of the construction projects have finished their in-river work, so there are no longer hazards in the river at any of the bridges, and there are no longer flow-related boating restrictions anywhere on the river. Yeah!
River Fact:
How did the Sacramento River get it's name? In 1808, Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga, on a journey to find suitable sites for the construction of missions, became the first foreigner to see the river clearly. Judging its huge breadth and power he named it Rio de good Sacramentos, or "River of the Blessed Sacrament".
