The spring and fall run salmon average 8-40lbs.

King Salmon

Sacramento River

July 16th through Mid-January

The fall king averages 20-40lbs., with an occasional hook-up of over 60lbs.

Native Rainbow & Steelhead Trout

The Sacramento River wild rainbows are a year-round fishing experience, with the feature months being April through October. These beautiful fish average 2 to 3lbs., with occasional trophies running 5 to 9lbs. The productive months for steelhead, the most powerful of the river-run fish, are September through April.

Striped Bass

Sacramento River

April through June

Stripers are easily one of California's most exciting game fish. The average size males run 2 to 10lbs. Females range 5 to 15lbs., some reaching up to 30lbs.

Shad

Feather & Sacramento River

Mid-May through July

These wild, feisty fish, average 2 to 6lbs., and are a true test of the stamina of every fisherman or fisherwoman.

Shasta Lake Bass

Bassin' begins mid-January through March for fewer but larger size bass. April through August provides plenty of action, the premier months being April through May. Some days may produce up to 100 hook-ups of bass averaging 1 to 5 lbs. and some up to 7.5 lbs.

Sturgeon

Sacramento River

November through May

White sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America and can weigh over 1,500lbs., be 20 feet in length, and live for over 100 years. Sturgeon Angling is an experience that every angler should have. For sheer size and power, there isn't a fish swimming in freshwater that can match the White Sturgeon.

We offer a Pro-Guided fishing service for super hook-ups of Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, Bass, Shad and Trout. We fish the Sacramento River from Redding through Colusa, for King Salmon, Wild Rainbow Trout & Steelhead, and Shad. The Feather River has a great run of King Salmon, Steelhead and Shad. For those wanting to Bass fish, Shasta Lake is the perfect place for beginners, or experienced anglers.
