spring time striped bass fishing on the Sacramento River starts mid April, this is the peak time! I got a handful of dates in mid April still available, this is a great fishery for all ages. With plenty of good eating fish to take home. It's action packed fishing!  We typically use live bait either power drifting down river or hover fishing. This time of the season is when lots of striped bass show up in the Colusa area to spawn, so there is plenty of fish around and is the peak time to be targeting striped bass!!
