Temp was at Fair Oaks reported by Realtime Dreamflows. The Folsom water temperature might on the surface and they must releasing cooler water from the bottom.

Fished three spots up high this morning and all I ended up with was a big pike minnow. Fished mid river in the afternoon and got a handful all on the Pink Lipstick. Raider Dave was fishing when I showed up and he got a dozen a little higher up.
Solo float today and it was very slow. Only got 3 in almost 6 hours on the water. Got the first one on the second pass through a deep run swinging Andy’s Perdigon with 25 ft of LC-13. Got the next two at the drop off of a riffle swinging a Pink Lipstick with a 15 ft Type 8 sink tip. There were no other boats and only a handful of bank anglers.
Most of the Stripers and Shad will probably go up the Sacramento river this spring/summer to spawn.

Fished mid river this morning before the wind came up. Got 3 swinging a Pink Lipstick. Saw Peter Villarreal across from me and Happy came by with clients. He told me that there was a big school higher up. Also saw Mary Ellen in her boat and she say Happy was killin’ it.
Fished for a couple of hours this morning in the wind. It really wasn’t that bad except for the wind gusts. Didn’t get any but saw a few shad that I spooked crossing a riffle. No one else fishing except for couple of kids on the bike bridge. I think I’m going to wait until tomorrow when the wind is supposed to slow down.
Fished for a couple of hours this morning. Bruce Porter was anchored in his go to spot. Garrett Smiith and Jared Shakin floated by with clients. LDRed one above Bruce and went home to float higher up. Did a solo mid day float and got 5 all using LC-13. 3 of the five were caught dangling with the rod in the rod holder. So the rod holder out fished me! I was the only boat with one bankie and a kayak angler.
