Recent lower Sacramento River reports?

Good morning - I am thinking about drifing from Bonnyview to RV park today. Anyone float that section recently and if so, how did you do? Thanks

Went Thursday. The water was off color (brownish) about two or three feet visability. It was a little clearer up at Possee Grounds. Lots of caddis. Six to the boat from 16" to 20". It should be a lot better by today. Paul

I have had quite a few half day trips this week. Four days this week I started at 8AM and was off the water before 2PM. I have come to the decision that I love doing half day trips. Get some great fishing in but still get home in time to have a nice dinner with the wife. There is something nice about getting home at a decent hour. For those of you interested on the latest news of the Lower Sac is that the river is still fishing good. Again this week I have been focusing on the river below Anderson. Most days I have been floating from Anderson to Balls Ferry. On Saturday I was able to get down on the Jellys to Bend drift. Right now it seems like the best fishing is between 8AM to about 1PM. The fishing in the morning has been really good. You can still catch fish in the afternoon but it takes a little more work. The best flies have been the rubberlegs (8), cdc princes (16), and tan birds nest (16). In the mornings they have been all over the rubberleg and the middle of the day the fish start turning on the caddis imitations.

For those of you looking to do some guided fishing I have several availabilities in the later part of April and middle of May. Expect the fishing on the Lower Sac, Yuba, and Feather to remain consistently good through the middle of May.

Tight Lines!

gs1dad and RJSFLYTRIP - thanks for the feedback. I floated Bonnyview to RV park today and did not do well. Nice being on the water though.
