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.

Trinity River Report by Mat Squillante

A gorgeous day, on the beautiful Trinity river. Thousands of dragonflies gave an impressive aerial display above water, while the fish more than held their own below the surface. A day of 1/2 pounders can be fast action fun, especially when a few adults and a brown are thrown into the mix. Book any of our Trinity guides for the coming months, when the fishing turns on and the adults takeover the show.

Lower Sac Report by Luke Geraty

Well it's been awhile since I wrote a river report, so here's a quick update. First, the flows are still BIG but the river's been slowly creeping down. I think we're just around 11,600cfs. The fishing has been all over the map, from really tough to really good. When it's good, it's GREAT. When it's tough, you just got to work hard and be creative and hope things line up. The last two weeks have been more consistent and better, so it's starting to feel a bit more connsistent. The mornings have had some pretty big midge and small mayfly hatches. The afternoons and evenings may or may not have some caddis. Today was pretty consistent until around 1:30pm... then it slowed down. However, Chuck hooked all of the BIGGER fish in the last hour and a half, so I guess it was still successful. And actually... he landed 87.5% of his fish today, ha ha! Yes... we kept track in order to compare it to the previous day... which we wan't talk about :) Anyway, the weather is starting to cool down and the fishing is improving. I've got a bit of September dates available, in October, and then the steelhead season on the Trinity takes over. Give us a call at Confluence if you wanna get out! We've got plenty of guides to get you out for a fun day! NOTHING
