I was just watching channel 3 News and they showed a sea lion already in the American near Rancho Cordova.
It's no wonder with an increase in water flows that some fish are heading upstream. I assume steelhead now. But it's a little early for striped bass to be coming up.

Later in the spring it's quite common for sea lions to follow the stripers as they migrate upstream. I've seen them as far up as Mosquito Beach in Yuba City, and Paradise Beach on the American.

The news was polite and said not to harass them, just enjoy watching the nature show.

What do you think they might be following?
