The Sacramento River hatchery steelhead season is beginning and the high water we'll see this week will likely kick start this popular fishery after high water receeds.  We will be fishing the mornings for our late fall Kings, but late morning/afternoon is transition time for steelhead fishing.  Drifting roe or beads is one of our most productive techniques, but back trolling plugs can be effective as well.  We have lots of salmon and steelhead fishing ahead of us the next few months and we still have some availability for those who want to book a trip!  daily limits are two hatchery steelhead and two King salmon per person.  Full limits are not often achieved, especially with larger groups, but these trips are a lot of fun and crowds are very light.  Fishing conditions can change rapidly with winter storms, but we fish most of the days we book and we do have other options if the river is unfishable in the Anderson area.
