I would guess that about 80% of the free roaming Striper population is headed upstream toward Colusa on the Sacramento River right now.
In April, May and June we have a chance to "catch-n-release" some fresh run Stripers. I know that most fly fishers don't keep fish and 99% of the Stripers will be caught by other methods. We are hoping for a 'slot limit' to help controll the taking of the large spawners by conventional anglers.
Some fish will go into the lower American River and some will go into the lower Feather River, but most will end up somewhere around Colusa, above or below depending on the flows.
If you want to catch and release some Stripers on a fly you might contact Shane Harden who is one of the very few people guiding fly fishers in that area with a jet boat.
