Sacramento River
Many “greats” come from humble beginnings, and the Sacramento River consistently epitomizes this. Snaking from the far north reaches of California the Sac grows ever powerful drawing from its fertile tributaries as it charges for the fish factory we call the Pacific Ocean. Thus making it a flourishing travel corridor for any anadramous fish. Salmon, steelhead, and wild rainbows in huge numbers and size make this a world class destination. Salmon Season opens in the middle of July and goes to the middle of January with large fresh fish available at any given time and in excess of 50 pounds. Trophy class rainbows and steelhead are in abundance as well, with a decent day yielding up to 20 1-5 pound trout or steelhead to 15 pounds per day.
