A Great Year of Fishing Is Coming Up
2-4-2021
Kevin Brock
It's 2021... and that means we've got an exciting new season of fishing ahead of us!
Here's a quick summary for the upcoming season, with more details below:
March: Umpqua River steelhead
April: Striped bass
May-June: Sacramento River wild trout, Lake Oroville salmon and bass
Late June to mid-September: Alaska!
Mid-September to October 31: Sacramento and Feather River king salmon
We're looking at Alaska salmon, Oregon steelhead, California trout, stripers, and salmon... it'll be a blast. Here are some more details:
March: Umpqua River Steelhead
In March, I'll be running Oregon fishing trips for big sea-run steelhead trout. This year we'll to be fishing on the Umpqua River in Oregon instead of the Smith River.
The Umpqua River is easier to reach than the Smith River, and has been fishing quite well for the last several years. We'll be fishing out of Canyonville, Oregon, which is located just north of Grant's Pass on Interstate 5.
The Umpqua River kicks out 20 pound steelhead every year, and there is a limit of 2 steelhead per angler. For the last several years March has been the peak time for these drift boat trips, so that's when we'll be there.
A recommended place to stay in Canyonville is the Seven Feathers Casino. They have nice clean rooms, several restaurants, a bar, non-smoking areas, and food delivered to your rooms. Their phone number is 800-548-8461, and you can find out more at sevenfeathers.com.
We're looking forward to some big steelhead from the Umpqua this year. Give me a call at 800-995-5543 if you'd like to reserve a spot for Umpqua steelhead fishing.
April: Striped bass
In April, I'll be fishing the striped bass run in the Feather and Sacramento Rivers near Colusa. The hot spots for stripers vary as the run spreads up the river systems, but we'll always be fishing in the best locations.
These striper trips are great family trips. They are easy trips close to home, and kids of all ages have a blast with the scrappy stripers.
During your Colusa visit, the legendary Kittle's Outdoor & Sports in Colusa is a great place to visit, and the Colusa Chamber of Commerce can answer any questions you might have. If staying in the area, the Colusa Riverside Inn is near the river and has good rates for fishermen.
May-June: Sacramento River wild trout, Lake Oroville salmon and bass
May and June are really nice months to fish here in Northern California. The weather is nice, lakes are filling up, and fish are biting. We'll be fishing for jumbo Sacramento River wild trout, and in scenic Lake Oroville for lake salmon and bass.
The Sacramento River wild trout fishery really is exceptional. The clear, cold waters from Lake Shasta dam feed this section of the river, and support a prolific fishery of big wild rainbow trout.
Lake Oroville trips are also quite popular with families and kids. The fishing can be quite good, and the scenic views add to a memorable trip.
Late June to mid-September: Alaska!
And now, for the lifetime trip you've been waiting for... Alaska!
From late June through mid-September this year, we'll be fishing the world-famous Togiak River in Alaska.
Can you imagine 20-30 kings a day? Epic wilderness for miles? You bet! This is the real Alaska remote fishing experience.
You'll be staying at the comfortable, fully equipped Togiak River Lodge. Check out the website for videos, pictures, and details. It'll be an incredible trip!
The silver salmon fishing in August and early September can be incredible, too. Fly fishing, spinners, bait fish, plugs... fish any way you like, because these acrobatic, hard-fighting silvers will hit almost anything. The limit is five per day, and everyday limits are the norm.
These Togiak River trips include 5 days fishing, lodging, 3 cooked meals daily, and all fish processed. Reservations for this adventure will be about $6,000 per person, and parties of 2-4 people are welcome. I'll be your personal guide on this trip of a lifetime.
Spots are filling up fast, though. I only have a couple of weeks with available spots in late June and early July. If you're seriously interested in this Alaska adventure with Kevin Brock as your guide, let me know at 800-995-5543.
Mid-September to October 31: Sacramento and Feather River king salmon
From mid-September through October 31, I'll be fishing closer to home for Sacramento and Feather River king salmon. These popular trips feature good fishing for salmon up to 30 pounds or so, and are an easy day trip for most.
That's the exciting news for now. It looks like a great season ahead, and I'm looking forward to having you along for some great fishing.
