Northern California Report by Mat Squillante

The entire crew's been on the water chasing gorgeous rainbows and bright chrome steel. The weather's largely cooperated and so have the fish. We've been on 5 different rivers guiding, kids, adults, seniors and families because fall's just a great time to be on the water.

Trinity River Report by Andrew Harris

Trick or Treat! We have a nice storm heading our way tomorrow that is forecast to bring about 3/4 of an inch of rain in the Weaverville area. That should be enough to saturate the ground and give us a small bump in stream flows. The steelhead usually respond well to any change in flows this time of year by moving around. Any time these fish are on the move and settling into a new spot, they are a lot easier to catch! Check guide availability and book a trip this coming week if you can get away!

Northern California Report by Mat Squillante

The entire Confluence team has been on the water; Lower Sac, Upper Sac, Hat Creek, Trinity, Yuba, Feather and even Baum Lake. The weather's been comfortable and the fish have been cooperative. The mountains will see October caddis starting to pop, so look for the McCloud, Hat Creek and the Upper Sac to offer some fall dry fly action soon. The Lower Sac should fish well for at least the next two months and steelhead action is already picking up on the Feather, Trinity and Yuba. Take your pick, it's all a good choice. GUIDE TIP: Step number one for every cast is to load the rod with energy. If you don't, it's like an empty gun, click but no bang! Load your rod first and then make your cast. Anything else, doesn't work and usually leads to a frustrated angler.
