Upper Sacramento Rainbows 04.04.12

With the river conditions right where I like them this time of year, I had to put another day on the river.

Upper Sacramento Trout Fishing 04.03.12

Heavy rains brought the floods and the Upper Sac boomed up to almost 18,000 CF/S. We needed some water in this river bad. The Upper Sac clears fast and I was able to take advantage of some high water honey holes.

2.26.12 Upper Sacramento

If I’m cold then I know my clients are freezing, but we toughed it out and had a fun day of fishing. David and Patsy are true Wild Waters regulars, clients turned friends.

Started the day on the Upper Sac catching some big migratory lake fish, had lunch at the great Dunsmuir Brewery, and finished off on the McCloud rainbows. What a damn fine way to spend a day.

February Trout Fishing

Trout fishing in February? You bet! and matching the beatis hatch paid off on some nice fish.

7.31.10 Upper Sac fishing well for the big Kamloops.

I just had to check on a few of my favorite big fish spots on the Upper Sac. I do love getting clients into big fish and often sacrifice my numbers for a chance or two at some special fishing opportunities we have here in the Mt Shasta region. We had a great morning of [...]
