Fly Fishing on the Sacramento River

The Sacramento River starts its journey in Mount Shasta, California from a natural underground spring and flows down into Shasta Lake. From there it flows over the largest dam in California to create the Lower Sacramento River where fishing is excellent all year long. While most coastal and un-dammed rivers are blown out from rain very rarely does the Sacramento River between Redding and Anderson do so. "Salmon - Trout - Steelhead Magazine" rated the Sacramento River "Best Wild Trout Fishing in California". It is not uncommon to hook a 24" trout with the average fish being 14-18".

Fall through January; salmon are spawning.  Enjoy egg drifting with a nymph or tandem eggs for catching trout. Try to get your egg through the salmon redds if you can avoid the wild spawning King Salmon you are sure to hook up on a beautiful wild Rainbow Trout.

The Spring and Summer is dry fly time.  Greg will do nymphing and dry flies.   For the spin fisherman it is a great time of year to pull plugs or side-drift.   The Sacramento  river system is truly a diamond and your fishing guide Greg Hector will make sure it is a trip you will never forget. Whether you are looking for a professional fly fishing lesson or are a seasoned fisherman yourself seeking the ultimate thrill of landing a giant wild rainbow trout or steelhead, Hook'em Hecky's is the fly fishing guide service that you need.
