 Shortly after Eric set the hook, the fish took a flying leap, as all 66 inches of it cleared the water, and the battle began to escalate. After about a 25 minute fight, the fish began to blow bubbles. 66 inches, and 70 pounds made this trip fun and worthwhile. More...

California Sturgeon Fishing
The pole busting Sturgeon season begins in January and peaks February through April, while these fish are spawning, but the bite remains good through August. These reel screamers won't give you a fight, they'll give you a battle. Known to grow up to a ton, these leviathans have been around for centuries and are considered a pre-historic fish. Try soaking these Sturgeon baits: Salmon roe, crawdads, sardines, eel, grass shrimp, ghost shrimp, mud shrimp, or shad. If you're looking for productive fishing time over the next several months, and beyond, you'll find it here in Northern California, on the Sacramento River.
If you'd like to book a Sturgeon fishing trip, please be sure to reserve your dates as early as possible.
California Trout Fishing
A year round peak fishery, Trout are marauding and jumping at every little bug or fly they can spot.
They're searching for every new hatch. The water shows they exhibit, with their dazzling aerobatics,
make them even more fun to catch and release by the absolute bushel. Expect a barrel of fun, and a
boatload of beautiful fish. The upper river remains good for both fly and spin anglers. 15 to 25
fish per day for trout is the norm, with the fish averaging 11 to 25 inches. For spin fishing,
try glo-bugs, hot-shots, or crickets. For fly-fishing try nymphs. In the evening, try a cattis,
or an occasional stone fly.
If you're looking for productive fishing time over the next several months, and beyond, you'll
find it here in Northern California, on the Sacramento River.
