Current River Conditions:
River flows are 6,000 cubic feet per second. The fishing has been good! There are a few redds occupied by spawning King Salmon, but don't expect to find many rainbows hovering near the spawning Kings. Anglers fishing the shallow riffles and glides are doing best. Hot flies: #16 Olive Hogan's S&M, Skip's Nymph, Pat's Brown Rubber Legs.

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". At this time of year, look for hatches of Baetis, BWOs and midges. The "egg" bite is slowing down and mostly done.
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".
