The last week has seen excellent king salmon fishing on the Sacramento River in the Chico area, upstream from the Irvine Finch landing. Captain Kevin Brock of Kevin Brock's Guide Service has guided his clients to full limits every day in the past week. Actually, Kevin's clients have caught full limits for 12 days in a row so far, landing a total of 116 salmon up to 28 pounds. That's just excellent fishing. "These salmon are fresh and very bright," reports Kevin, "and the meat is red, firm, and great eating! We're drifting roe on light tackle, with a 12 pound main line and 10 pound leader, on Penn Slammer spinning reels and G. Loomis GL3 light rods. There are a lot of fish in the river."
In summary, fishing on the Sacramento River for the week of 8-24-11 to 8-31-11 has been excellent for fresh, bright king salmon, with limits every day. It's definitely a great time to go!
