Top water with poppers in the AM and PM are to die for.
I feel that July through October is Smallmouth Bass time in moving water in Nor Cal for flyfishers.
The lower Feather, Russian and Sacramento rivers all have a SMB population.
Fly fishing from a skiff is a big advantage on larger rivers and some use kayaks.
Guide Hogan Brown would be a good better north of Sacramento up the Valley.

South down in the Delta in would get out with guide Bryce Tedford.

Smallmouth Bass in moving water is a favorite fresh water species for many fly casters.

I always hear about the lower Snake river too.
The Eastern US and Canada have mucho destinations for SMB.
I was able to fish northern Wisconsin for Musky, Pike and SMB one time with Brad Bohen.......beautiful places.
