The Lower Sac is one of the west’s best trout fisheries. We fly fish the Lower Sac year-round for wild trout from Redding down to Red Bluff. Our guide service specializes in trout-spey techniques and we access prime walk/wade spots via jet boat. Trout are available year-round and steelhead are in the river from September through January.

September and October are prime-time for steelhead on the lower Klamath River. We fish the Klamath from a jet boat, which allows us to sample many productive runs in a single day. We focus on the bottom 30 miles of river. We do day trips from Klamath Glen and we can also ferry our guests in to Rivers West Lodge and use that as a home base. The Klamath River is a classic swing fishery and is best fished with a spey rod. We typically catch a mix of adult fish and half-pounders.

The Trinity River is California’s most productive steelhead river. It’s steelhead season is also the longest. We catch adult fish from September through March. During the early season we fish near Willow Creek. We follow the fish up the river through the Del Loma, Junction City, Douglas City, and Lewiston areas. We fish all techniques, including nymph & indicators with single-hand rods and swinging flies with spey rods. We do raft, drift boat, and walk-wade trips on the Trinity River.

It’s been a while since my last report, a busy building season is now transitioning into what is looking to be a busy guide season. Ive spent time on the Lower Klamath over the last several weeks and the conditions on the Lower Klamath have improved dramaticaly, the river is currently and should remain in Great Shape through the Fall ! Water releases out of Lewiston have increased which have cooled water temps greatly, the Steelhead have responded positively and are now steadily streaming in.We are getting into a mix of adult and half pounders, landing adults to 5lbs and seeing and hooking larger adults to 10 lbs ! I have a few prime dates left in October for the Klamath, if the Fall rains are late the Klamath will be fishable into November. If your passionate about swinging flies for fresh chrome the Lower Klamath should be on your radar.
