Sacramento River or Sac River Trout & Shad Report
Fishing for wild rainbow trout on the lower Sacramento or Sac River from Redding downstream below Anderson, Ca. has been great with multiple hook-ups for Sacramento river trout guides both on conventional spin and fly gear. River releases from Keswick dam near Redding have risen to 13,000 cfs. Sacramento river trout guides are reporting great fishing for wild rainbow trout 1 to 3 pounds with the occasional big trout of 4 plus pounds from redding downstream near Red Bluff. Many Sacramento river rainbow trout have been over 16 inches with some in the twenty plus inch class. 20 plus Sacramento river rainbow trout hook-ups a day a real possibility this time of year. Boats cannot pass the Cypress bridge construction in Redding from 7,000cfs and up. Side drifting small glo bugs in various egg 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 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. American shad are starting to show in the upper reaches of the Sacramento river below Red Bluff, Ca. with best fishing from Red Bluff downstream below Chico, Ca. Higher river flows have moved some of the lower river schools of shad upstream. Shad fishing has been great for angler's who find and follow the schools of shad with multiple hook-up common while shad fishing. Sacramento river shad guides have reported side drifting small jigs to be best technique on conventional gear. 1/32, 1/16 and 1/8 ounce weighted jigs with a one or two inch curly tailed grub have been top producers. Shad fishing will continue through June.
