Lauren hooked and landed this salmon all on her own while fishing the Sacramento River with us!

Its September on the Sacramento River and that means King salmon fishing! Its an undisputed favorite among our guides, and with this years salmon abundance, we are extra excited for what this month will bring. We have caught some really nice salmon so far and I think we’re just going to see even more big fish come over the rail this season looking forward. We’ve been fishing Brad’s Killer Fish plugs on some days but the majority of our Kings are biting our Pautzke Fire Cured eggs. Right now we’re concentrating our efforts in the Corning area and launching at Woodson Bridge. Boat pressure has been fairly light except for the weekend crowds. Our guides are averaging a fish per rod, some days more and some days less. The lower numbers have been a negative, but we’re catching some big, big Kings! We’ve caught Kings in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40 lb class already this season and we’ll likely catch many more before the year ends. Most all of our trip dates are sold out, but we have a few left for the flexible parties. We do have quite a few dates in November and December for our “Late Fall” King salmon trips, which we expect to be quite good again this year. Our season got extended by two weeks this year so we’ll get into some great fishing in late December.

I post something just about every day throughout the season.
