Trinity River & Klamath River Fishing Guides Salmon & Steelhead Report
Salmon fishing on the Trinity river has been slow however good fish still are being caught. most Spring salmon are in the upper river near Lewiston, Ca. and some early Fall salmon are in the lower river from Willow Creek to Junction City. Angler's can expect more jack salmon right now with the occasional adult salmon and steelhead in the days catch as reported by Trinity river salmon guides. Flows are now stable at 450 cfs and will stay at that release until the end of the month. Larger salmon are hard fighting salmon 8 to 12 pounds on average with the occasional salmon in the 20 pound class a real possibility on the Trinity river this season. Side drifting and back bouncing roe has been best technique for bank and boat fishermen. More Fall run salmon and steelhead will begin to show in the Trinity river in the coming weeks as more and more fish enter the Klamath river. The Trinity and Klamath rivers are two of the three rivers in California that anglers can keep salmon this time of year. Salmon are entering the Klamath river but fishing is hot one day and cold the next all depending what days you are fishing and what salmon and adult steelhead make their way around the nets at the river's mouth as reported by Klamath river salmon guides. Commercial gill netting is in full swing at this time with a few adult salmon getting through. Salmon and steelhead fishing will only improve in the coming days on the Klamath river. This years quota is 22,500 salmon to begin in mid August. The Klamath and Trinity river's will be the only river's besides the Smith river that angler's can keep salmon on this season with the Sacramento river offering a very small season from November 1st to December 31st from Red Bluff diversion dam downstream to Knight's Landing.
Sacramento River Trout Guides
Trout Report
Fishing for wild rainbow trout on the lower Sacramento or Sac River from Redding downstream below Anderson, Ca. has slowed for the time being for Sacramento river trout guides both on conventional spin and fly gear. River releases from Keswick dam near Redding have been dropping and will drop to 7500 cfs by this week. Sacramento river trout guides are reporting fair fishing for wild rainbow trout 1 to 3 pounds with the occasional big trout of 4 plus pounds from Redding downstream near Red Bluff. Depending on which section of river you fish will determine which baits are best. Most Sacramento river rainbow trout have been over 16 inches with some in the twenty plus inch class. 15 to 20 plus Sacramento river rainbow trout hook-ups a day a real possibility this time of year as reported by Sacramento river trout guides. Fall salmon are moving upstream and trout fishing will only improve through September and October. 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.
