Sacramento River - CA

Current River Conditions:
Excellent Blue Wing Olive hatches over the past two days! Rising fish are out there, but anglers have to look along the edges of the river where the water is shallow and smooth. Spot a rising rainbow, throw a #16 BWO dry and hang on! Over all, reports have been mostly good with a few reports of the bite tapering off late in the day. Some really big rainbows are being caught! Greg Dean has been doing well! He's been finding steelhead on the Lower Sac on #12 Bird's Nest!!

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".
