We are awaiting the final 2022 king salmon season details for the Sacramento River but so far everything looks pretty good! Ocean abundance is up from last year and it appears higher escapement numbers will be set this year which will allow a higher number of returning salmon to make it back to the Sacramento River system. This is great news for and for our clients who will be fishing with us this year. Overall last years season was pretty good but with more salmon returning to the Sacramento River this year we should see an even better season than 2021.
The Final details will be outlined and the Sacramento River King salmon seasons will be set by late April. If you would like to experience the thrill of catching a big Sacramento River King salmon, I would encourage you to book a trip this year. We will be seeing the salmon returns from our most recent drought years which could have an impact on our returns. One never knows for sure but good water years equate to good salmon returns generally speaking.
Thank you and we’ll look forward to fishing with you all again this season!
