Sacramento River or Sac River Trout Report
Fishing for wild rainbow trout on the lower Sacramento or Sac River from Redding downstream below Anderson, Ca. has been good with multiple hook-ups for Sacramento river trout guides both on conventional spin and fly gear. River releases from Keswick dam near Redding have increased to 8250 cfs. Boats cannot pass the Cypress bridge construction in Redding from 7,000cfs and up. Trout fishing is improving with the increased Spring flows and really will improve in the next couple of months for trout fishing guides on the Sacramento river. Side drifting small glo bugs in various egg pattern color combo's and/or live cricket or crawler's with a Quickie puffball have worked well for Sacramento river trout fishing guides. Back trolling small Hot shots 50's or small K-4/K-5 Kwikfish in various color combos can also be very effective for wild rainbow trout one to three pounds for Sacramento river trout guides. Angler's can call ahead for current river condition's as condition's can change quickly on the Sacramento or sac river.
Sacramento River or Sac River Striper/Sturgeon Report
Reports of better striper fishing have come in for Sacramento river striper guides who find the schools of striper's in and around the Colusa/ Grimes area of the Sacramento or Sac river. This past week started off slow early in the week and really heated up by Thursday, Friday and Saturday for Sacramento river striper guides. Big fish of the week for Dave Jacobs professional guide service was Andy Jones' 19 pound striper caught on a minnow while anchored in 12 foot of water on Saturday May 3rd. Best striper action has been spread out with most activity near Grimes/Tisdale area of the Sacramento river or Sac river. Some days reports of limits come in with a couple of days where Sacramento river striper guides are reporting working hard to bring in their limits of stripers. Sardine/anchovies cut bait fishing from anchor has worked as well as backbouncing minnows or pile worms producing nice stripers to 19 pounds. Trolling Rebel style lures in various color combos has also brought in nice striper's. Striper fishing should improve through May. Reports of good numbers of sturgeon have still come in with fish being found from Colusa downstream around the Tisdale area of the Sacramento or Sac river. Sacramento river sturgeon guides soaking pile worms, ghost shrimp or store bought eel from anchor have produced most sturgeon bites.
Professional guide service will be available for wild rainbow trout trips near Redding Ca. and sturgeon/striper trips near Colusa Ca. from both our drift boats and jet boat May thru June 2008 on the Sacramento river or Sac river.
