Northern California, California - Freshwater Fishing Report
American River
Stripers are in the lower American now and we should have good fishing through August. The American is one of the few places where you have a chance to catch a relly big striper (40+ lbs.) We see them most days and they are really hard to catch but knowing you've got a chance at one of these bruisers is what it's all about. Most of the fish we catch are between 3 and 12 pounds and are great fun on a fly rod or topwater plug. I will float anywhere from Sailor's Bar to Howe Ave. depending on the fishing.
