Flows are up around 4,000 cfs currently and the Sac River conditions are perfect for great trout fishing!  Whether you're a fly guy or a spin guy, we're seeing good fishing on all trips!  Todays group got into some wonderful wild specimens and the attached pics support that statement to the fullest! One of our most popular venues and you can see why.  The good fishing will continue through mid July when Jaynie switches the guide schedules to the Sacramento River for King salmon.  The trout fishing is catch and release but a picture lasts forever.  We have other trips available for harvest if thats a major concern.  We like eating fish too but these wild Sac River rainbows are too beautiful to kill.  Thank you!
