Sacramento River
Striped bass fishing is the best of the year and is red hot. There is great fishing from Verona to Colusa in the Sacramento River. A variety of techniques are producing including trolling plugs (Yo-Zuri minnows and P-Line Predator minnows), casting pencil poppers and spook top water lures (a crowd favorite for the explosive bite!), casting jerk baits, flies for your fly fishermen out there, casting rubber worms, drifting live minnows, and bait fishing using cut bait.
Sturgeon are also being caught throughout the Sacramento River system from Verona to Colusa.
California Delta
The California Delta and the San Joaquin River are still producing good numbers of striped bass. Techniques that are catching the most fish are trolling minnow imitation plugs (Yo-Zuri minnows and P-Line Predator minnows) as well as using live bait and drifting minnows.
Sturgeon fishing remains good in the Delta as well.
Feather River
The Feather River water level is mostly too low to fish. That said, some stripers are being caught, mostly from the Nicholas Bridge down.
Lake Oroville
Landlock King Salmon fishing remains steady, with fish being caught with regularity. Your best bet for fish are using a white hoochie with a small piece of anchovy, or Brad’s Cut Plugs paired with garlic Pro-Cure scent.
