This warming trend finally pushed the American River up to 58 degrees. The fish are biting a little better as a result. I had about the same success as Jeff C. last night. I got 8 fish up at Sunrise out of a boat. This was the second night in a row they appeared to rise on hatching caddis from 8:45 until 9:15 pm. I wish I had something to try on top just for fun. So far the fish are even bigger than last year for me. I already have quite a few fish over 20". For me the average has 17"-19" lately! Surprised not more people out. But I understand some probably don't want to mess with this crazy high flow.
For those who have not been yet, the gate to the sunrise gravel launch ramps/parking area will be closed the remainder of the year due to "budget cuts". Even though closing the area has no direct impact on saving money etc. I could get into the details - which is sore subject, but I won't.
Anyway, the paved launch ramps are open at Sunrise and Hazel...
