    Default How far up the Sac are they?

    Are they past Princeton or Glenn? Or not there yet?

    Hi MThompson,

    I don't have a first hand report as I haven't been out for shad yet this year but know from reliable second hand reports that shad have been in the Ord Bend area for a couple weeks now. I suspect they are quite a ways up higher after the bump in flows on the Sac last week.

    I've lived in the top end of the Valley for a number of years now and have found that shad are reliably up to Red Bluff in good numbers by June 10 every year.

    The Princeton/Butte City area should be solid. Matt

    Many years ago we would drive up to Princeton and wade fish the gravel bars there.

    For something different you might give it a try, in late June? 1hr 20 min from Sacramento.

    If I remember correctly there was good access on the West side of the river right in Princeton.

    I guess this can be a place to wade for Stripers too?

    Thanks! I actually fished for a little bit in Princeton yesterday midday. No results but it is a beautiful run. Went upstream to check another (well known) access and ran into a locked gate. Should have gone around it but I didn't. No other anglers in sight which makes me wonder about the location of the run
