Sacramento River - Lower - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:96 °FISHING: Great
The flows on the Lower Sac are currently at 9,500 cfs and will be gradually dropping as fall aproaches. The most productive area has been from Redding down to Anderson, with decent reports below the Anderson area. The fishing seems to pick up in the afternoons with some fish taking dries right before dark. There have been a mixture of caddis and small BWO's attracting the fish to look up as the sun starts to set.

Sacramento River - Upper - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:84 °FISHING: Good
The flows on the Upper Sac are in prime shape for wet wading. There have been some decent caddis hatches in the evening with mayflies hatching throughout the day. Don't forget to bring a variety of midges when fishing gets tough on this river.

Feather River - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:95 °FISHING: Good
Not much going on for the Feather as recent fires have moved through the area. There was a rumor of some early steelhead being hooked. Should get better as we move into the fall.
Hot Bugs: Eggs, BH Olive Bird's Nest size 16, BH Dirty Bird size 16, BH Prince Nymph size 16, BH Pheasant Tail size 16, BH Brown Micro May size 16, Hogan's S & M size 16, clown eggs.
McCloud River - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:84 °FISHING: Good
If you are looking for wonderful scenery and prime trout water, the McCloud is it. The flows have come back down to normal and fishing is great. With various mayflies throughout the day and caddis in the evening, the fish are willing to eat. For a little peace and quiet, try reserving a spot on the McCloud Conservancy 415-777-0487. The fall can be a great time to target brown trout coming out of the lake and up river to spawn.
Hot Bugs: Pt's size 12-18, Hogan's S & M size 16, King Prince 16, Fox's Poo-pah olive size 16, midges olive and black, golden stones 12-16.
Pit River - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:91 °FISHING: Good
Although the Pit River is a difficult piece of water to wade, this little gem can be very rewarding. The water has cleared and should be in great shape through the summer months. With the temperature on the rise, look for the dry fly fishing to pick up. Caddis and midge patterns have been the best choice when nymphing.
Hot Bugs: PT Flashback 14-16 Black Hare's Ear 14 Parachute Adams 14 Zebra Midge 18-20 HBI 18-20 WD40 18-20 Dark Lord 14-16 Black A.P. 14-16 Red Copper John 14-16 Hogan's S & M size 16 golden stones 14-16.
Trinity River - August 26th, 2008
supplied by: Sac River Outfitters RECORDED:89 °FISHING: Good
The flows on the Trinity are at 450 cfs and fishing has been good. The months of July and August can be a great time to fish the "T". There have been decent reports of salmon with some browns and steelhead mixed in as well.
Hot Bugs: PT's 16, 18 Stone flies size 10-16 Eggs, Rubberlegs, Olive Caddis 14, 16 and copper Johns of all shape and colors. River flows

Klamath River - July 25th, 2008
supplied by: SC Guide Service RECORDED:85 °FISHING: Great I fished the Klamath River with my client Bruce, last week, we caught and released 20 Steelhead/Trout up to 19-inches and 2-pounds. Most of the Trout were very fat half-pounders, but on light gear or the fly rod they put up a nice battle. We caught fish while using sculpin immitations on the fly rod or bouncing a worm on the bottom, into a few of the deeper holes. The river is in prettygood shape for this time of year and flowing steady at 1000cfs. You need to go early, first light, to beat the heat. When the sun is up it is getting hot fast, 85 to 100 degrees has been the norm. The smoke from the fires has been coming and going so it is hard to tell what the days will be like. Fall Salmon and Winter Steelhead seasons on the Klamath River are quickly approaching. We should start seeing Salmon at the hatchery by the end of September and running thru October. The Winter Steelhead will be following right after them. The regulations on Salmon this season will be the same as last season, meaning we will be able to catch and keep fish. I am taking reservations, now, so get yours. Salmon season fills up fast especially the weekends. If you have the ability to fish during the weekdays I encourage it, the pressure on the river tends to be much less.
Lake Siskiyou - April 19th, 2008
supplied by: SC Guide Service RECORDED:55 °FISHING: Excellent This past Wednesday my good friend Guy Ives and I fished Lake Siskiyou and found the Trout bite to be very good. We caught and released 18 Trout, 16 were nice healthy Rainbows, the other two were German Browns. Most of the Trout were caught while trolling (very slow 1mph) a Seps Dodger (silver) and a worm. The other Trout (including the Browns) were caught while trolling a K-7 kwikfish on the downrigger at 15 to 20 feet. We have been using Pautzke krill paste on our dodgers and lures, this stuff works great. My last two trips to the Lake have produced over 30 trout and at least another 20 hookups. There are some trophy's on the feed, we lost a nice 5-pound German Brown, last Sunday, as we were about to net him. Unfortunately, it became another story about the one that got away.
San Diego Bay - November 18th, 2007
supplied by: The Avid Angler RECORDED:60 °FISHING: Good
I was in San Diego for the weekend, and I had the opportunity to get out to Coronado Island and fish the surf for the late afternoon. It's interesting to note how things change when you're fishing in a different environment.
For starters, the surf was HUGE compared to anything we ever have in the Sound. Folks were surfing while I was being buffeted by waves and wind, and suffice it to say that casting has to be spot on in order to get the fly out there.
I started to hit perch right around sunset, and there were quite a few of the little pan-shaped fish around. Nothing bigger than 7", but it was fun to hook these little fighters on the fly nonetheless. Most of them hit right in the oncoming wave. Just a little pluck and then a fish was on. I got some pulls when I was swinging my fly in the undertow as well, which was fascinating. It's hard to believe there's fish in all that chaos, but they came to an orange and green craftfur clouser (picked them up at Andy Montana's Surfside Flyfisher, thanks, Spot!).
I should have brought a heavy shooting head system in the neighborhood of type 6, as my line was constantly at the mercy of the powerful tides. The shooting head would have helped get out a little farther as well. Note for future trips, I guess.
