King Salmon Season has opened this past week on the rivers and it's been a slow opener with water temps staying warm due to our heat we have down here in the valley. Some water flows from upriver are going to help in the coming weeks. Before we know it though, those big bright chrome kings will be moving in from the bay and up the river. I am now fully licensed as well by the USCG and will be booking trips for the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. We go where the fish are running, from Rio Vista and Isleton all the way up to Verona where the Sacramento meets the Feather River. This year is expected to be even bigger than the past few years since there has been a return of the Chinook seasons from the Ca. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. I have been waiting to fill the calendar as my new credentials were on their way, but they are in my possession and I am ready to fish when the Salmon get up the rivers. I am still able to get out on New Melones and always looking to share time with folks who want to learn about those tasty Kokanee Salmon. But if you want to do a something fun, troll down the river and hook into a large King Salmon and feel the excitement of line being peeled from your drag and rods bending nearly in two as I steer the boat to keep in sync with the fish. We are looking forward to another great year fishing all over the Mother Lode lakes and down into the California Delta Rivers. Check out my web site and know that Veterans and Public Safety Personnel always get a discounted rate. Stay tuned here for more reports in the coming weeks with photos of big fish and reports on how and where we are getting into them so you know they are. Seats will fill up on the boats we have on our team as we get further into the season. I work side by side with 2 other guides and we would be happy to have folks come out and share some time on the water with us.

More to come next week as we get the first pics back from this weeks trips on our boats.
