2021 Sacramento River Salmon Season set!

The 2021 Sacramento and Feather River salmon fishing season has been determined and it's now official.   The Sacramento and Feather River’s will open on the morning of July 16, 2021 and remain open for a full salmon fishing season.  530 646-9110 The Sacramento River will open 150 below the Sycamore Boat launch located just below the Red Bluff Diversion Dam on July 16, 2021.  The upper reaches of the Sacramento River above the Red Bluff Diversion Dam will open on August 1, 2021 up through the Barge Hole to the Deschutes Bridge in Anderson California.

This years commercial ocean salmon season has been curtailed immensely and will not open until late June in hopes of allowing a larger group of large adult Sacramento River king salmon to travel upriver this year.  This years ocean abundance predictions have come in just shy of 300,000 salmon for 2021. 

With the Fall Sacramento River salmon season set, Sacramento Salmon Fishing Guide Dave Jacobs is now booking our entire season, July, August, September, October, November and December.  The salmon season will gradually build in mid July and salmon numbers will steadily increase daily through August.  Mid to late August and all of September will see the largest numbers of king salmon arriver in the Sacramento River in and around Woodson Bridge near Corning California. October will mark the top spawning month with a large amount of king salmon making their way through the famous Barge Hole near Cottonwood California and home of the Coleman National Fish Hatchery. 

As the Fall salmon season begins to wind down in late October anglers will still fish for king salmon over on the Feather River through the end of October 

and the late Fall Sacramento River salmon season starts.  November and all of December are the peak months for these huge Sacramento River king salmon.
