This past week offered some very good wild rainbow fishing on the Sacramento river for angler's from either a drift boat or jet boat. Side drifting small hand tied glo-bugs in various egg color patterns proved best early in the mornings. Natural cured roe tipped with a Quickie puffball also scored some wild bow's. Most trout averaged 1 to 3 pounds with the occasional large bow 4 to 6 pounds. 25 hook-ups are average with better scores of 40 plus hook-ups possible on good days. Redding to Red Bluff has been most productive water. Angler's back trolling small Hot shot #50's in various color combos has also been a good bet. Current releases into the river are 9800 cfs with no scheduled changes. Shad fishing is starting to begin in the upper reaches of the Sacramento River near Chico, Ca. Side drifting small jigs with small curly tailed grubs is best. Shad fishing will continue to build now thru June.

Professional guide service will be guiding trout/shad combo trips May/June 2007.
