This is a favorite month to fly fish for many. The weather here in California is usually fantastic. Not too hot and not too cold. Many fisheries are in full swing then and there are lots of choices.
Stripers are getting going in the Delta and reservoirs too.
Salmon are in the rivers.
Many rivers have Steelhead in them then. The Feather, Rogue, Klamath and Trinity are the closest. In October the water is usually not too cold yet and the Steelhead will take a fly more easily then.
Black Bass should be happy too.
Trout in many of our Blue Ribbon streams are feeding up for winter. I like the Pit, Upper Sac and McCloud but many others will be going well then too.
Many trout lakes have fish feeding on or near the surface then. These can be mid-elevation trout lakes and our low elevation multi-specie reservoirs as well. It is top water Threadfin Shad time on many reservoirs.
Try to get a trip planned this Fall. You deserve it.
Get a recommendation for a good fly fishing guide here on this BB if you want to have more going for you.
You can email me if you want some help planning a good trip somewhere.
