Klamath River - February 1st, 2012
supplied by: SC Guide Service RECORDED:45 °FISHING: Great It is not often that fake bait out fishes the real thing. On Monday, my guys Gary and Paul had no success with roe and worms, but landed 7 out 10 Steelies on plugs. The rebel Crawdad and CD 5 Rapala were the plugs that got the fish to bite. Backtrolling the crawdad plug slowly later in the day and casting the Rapala across the current and riffles in the morning were the keys to getting bit. We bounced and drifted the bait in various spots on our drift from the Irongate hatchery to the Klamathon Bridge and did not even get a sniff. It seems they enjoyed the plugs smeared with Pro Cure crawdad gel and Shrimp/Krill oil better, go figure. The winter weather has been pretty mild other than some freezing cold and scattered showers, otherwise it has been great fishing weather we have even had some sun and near 50 temperatures during the day. It is a great time to get out on the river especially during the week; we were the only boat out on Monday fishing.
McCloud Reservoir - January 8th, 2012
supplied by: SC Guide Service RECORDED:45 °FISHING: Excellent McCloud Reservoir is the Winter Hot Spot for outstanding Trout fishing. Conner and I fished Friday and Saturday and landed over 80 Trout. We trolled lots of different set ups and they all caught Trout. On Friday, were trolled Seps dodgers (police car, hot pink blades) with Seps's grubs (white and watermelon, brown), spoons and worm trailers. On Saturday, we trolled floating broken back rapalas with nearly the same success. Fishing out towards the dam in the top 20 feet of the water column between speeds of .5 and 1.5 MPH in an S pattern was our key to steady action both days. The weather was outstanding and we practically had the entire lake to ourselves!!
Lake Siskiyou - January 28th, 2011
supplied by: SC Guide Service RECORDED:55 °FISHING: Good
Yesterday, was one of those great breaks we sometimes get during the Winter here in Siskiyou County; Blue Sky, Warm Sun, and no wind. My Dad and I arrived at Lake Siskiyou around noon and were blessed with glassy like water conditions and tempteratures in the mid 50's. It doesn't get much better when you arrive at your particular body of water and find it looking like a mirror on the wall. We trolled various hardware and landed a few small Trout before the sun started to drop and the temperature with it, but before we left we did find quite a few Trout holding near the new walking bridge. We watched Trout after Trout rise for little midges during a Sundown hatch. The water temperature around most of the lake was 38 to 40 degrees so trolling slow and in the top 20 feet was key to get any bites. It was just nice to get the boat out and cruise the lake when the conditions are like that, so next time out we will fish harder and see what kind of damage we can do.
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.
Little Truckee River - July 25th, 2007
supplied by: The Patient Angler RECORDED:79 °FISHING: Great
We also fished the Little Truckee River, which runs about 7 miles from Stampede Reservoir down to Boca Reservoir. A very small river during the summer only running around 50cfs, with lots of riffles, runs and pools. Surprisingly this small river holds large beautiful rainbows that can reach 20 inches or more. Fishing below the riffles with small pockets of holding water using a nymph dropped off a hopper or stonefly pattern was very productive during the day. Caddis Pupas in tan or green, small Prince nymphs and San Juan Worms in size #12-#16 worked well as the dropper. Every evening as the sun would come off the water, the runs and pools would boil with rises. Small dark Caddis and Midges were on the dinner menu every night, sometimes with a Caddis Sparkle pupa or Midge Emerger dropped off the back for desert. It was a lot of fun fishing for big Rainbows in such challenging small water.
Truckee River - July 25th, 2007
supplied by: The Patient Angler RECORDED:79 °FISHING: Good
Just got back from Truckee, Ca., where I spent a week exploring some of the trout waters in the area with Matt Jay. The weather was great all week with sunny skies and temperatures in the 70’s and low 80’s. The first part of the week we fished the Truckee River. The warm summer days this time of year leads to warmer river temps, so we spent our time exploring the lower part of the river from the town of Truckee down to the Nevada border. There are a lot of tributary creeks entering the Truckee through this stretch, which helps keep the river cooler and improves the fishing. This lower part of the Truckee is divided into two sections. The upper stretch or the water just below town is a little flatter and open and is easily accessed from Glenshire Drive, which runs next to the river. This section gets more angling pressure because of its proximity to town and its easy access. We had pretty good success most days nymphing the riffles and pocket water. Small yellow Stonefly nymphs #10 - #14, with a green or tan Caddis pupa dropper seamed to be the winning combo. The lower stretch of the Truckee runs through a much bigger canyon making the access more difficult to get to the water, but if your willing to put in a little extra effort an angler can be rewarded with solitude and the availability of much bigger fish. The Brown trout in this section can grow to 10 lbs or more. I hooked a couple really big fish in this section using a sink-tip and large streamer patterns. Unfortunately one broke me off and the other came unbuttoned.
American River - July 2nd, 2007
supplied by: Hooked up anglers RECORDED:95 °FISHING: Good
The Lower American if full of striper schoolies right now. We are hooking 10 to 15 in a half day trip. Look for the big boys to start taking flies when the shad run slows down
Yuba River - May 30th, 2007
supplied by: Hooked up anglers RECORDED:90 °FISHING: Good
The Yuba river is Getting better everyday. We hooked 10 fish on friday between 14" and 17". The dry fly action is still slow, but nymphs will pick up fish most of the day.

Smith River - January 23rd, 2007
supplied by: Kutzkey's Guide Service FISHING: Good
Hello fishermen; The Rivers are really low and clear. The Smith river is at 14.2 feet and the Chetco is at 1000 cfs. We are hitting bottom in a lot of riffles and there is not much flow in a lot of holes. But the good thing there are still fish out there to catch. I have been fishing on the Chetco every day and doing well for the conditions. I have been catching 3 to 4 fish each day. We are still getting most our fish on bait and a puff ball just a lot smaller and lighter colors. I have caught a few fish on plugs but it is hard to run them without a lot of current. The bad thing is trying to keep people from running over the top of the fish with this clear water. So if you are fishing out there try not to spook the fish for everyone else. If we do not get some rain soon I may be fishing on another river. The Eel river is doing great with most boats catching 8 to 10 fish a day. You just can not keep any there. That is ok it is just a lot of fun to catch and land them then it is to eat them. The Rogue is fishing good also. These rivers take a lot longer to come in so when we are low and clear they are just coming in. That is good for a lot of people leave here and we have the river to our selves. So if you are fishing some pray for some rain. Hope to see you on the river. Albert
Sacramento River - January 4th, 2007
supplied by: River Pirate FISHING: Good
It is that time of year once again. So here I go for the Sac River! The Salmon Season is now upon us, and the fish are showing in the river in more numbers. These fish are a much sought after game fish. They hit hard and fight the same. The river record is 88 lbs. Here is what I see coming up for the upcoming months. The mighty Kings are building their numbers for an all out assault on the river, and anything standing in their way to complete their mission to reproduce the Trout and Steelhead following close behind to try to cash in on the smorgasbord of eggs produced by the salmon.
