These fish are typical on any given day on the lower Sacramento River. Some of these photos are from the Pit River, the upper Sacramento and Hat Creek. Different places fish better at different times.

Bill and the evening drift

Bill and I have drifted the lower Sac together several times and he certainly knows what he is doing. This evening was no different. This was a hot August evening and not exactly what you would call 'prime time' but two 19 inchers will make anyones day. We did catch several small fish which is unusual.... Bill landed a half dozen fish between 2 and 12 inches. The 2 inchers appeared to be salmon smolts on their way to the pacific.

 

 

Bill fought these 2 big fish and they fought back! They ran hard, jumped and buried themselves in the weeds but Bill prevailed for the two photo ops above.

The pic below is of the healthy release.....
