     The Sacrametno River in Colusa, Ca has recieded to a very fishable conditon for migrating White Sturgeon. Mike Rasmussen reported on March 15, 2017 that action had continued to be consistantly good around the Meridian, Ca Hwy 20 Bridge and down river to Grimes, Ca. "The weather this week has been nothing less then perfect." Rasmussen said. The SalmonSacRiver.com sturgeon guide reported success with both keeper sized slot fish and two 200 pound plus overiseze that were released unharmed to continue thier spawning.

     Kittles Outdoor & Sport  in Colusa, Ca ( www.kittlesoutdoor.com ) has sturgeon bait on hand for those who are going to go chase these dino's around.  With rain coming in this next weeks forcast Rasmussen will only be booking for day trips, unlike this week where all the sturgeon trips were done at night due to the availability of nice weathr and a full moon. Lots of Sacramento RIver sturgeon are in the river right now. More sturgeon jumping around then Rasmussen reports seeing in quiet a few years. At least a decade. Mike's Guide Service is ready for the continued action to take place. Call 530-722-8876 to speak with Mike Rasmussen about potential bookings or general question.


Mike has called Northern California home his whole life. Fishing the streams of the eastern sierras for trout and the Russian river for steelhead as a young boy, his passion for fishing and the outdoors consumed his childhood as knowledge was gained. Attending high school in Corning, Ca, Mike also spent a great deal of time on the banks of the Sacramento river, chasing Salmon, Steelhead, American Shad and Striped Bass. Mike was fortunate enough to have been taught by some experienced guides that have since passed. Now a guide himself over the last decade, he prides himself on providing a comfortable, fun and enjoyable experience for all those he guides. You will not find another guide in Northern California as devoted as Mike and that spends the amount of time on the water as he does. It definitely shows at the end of the day when the fish are counted.
