Salmon fishing on the Sacramento River from Anderson Balls Ferry downstream to Chico has improved this week with signs of more salmon showing up everyday. Some are reporting two to four salmon per day with others reporting one or zero per day. Most salmon have been large and chrome bright from 20 up to 40 pounds being caught. Mike Scriven and Dave Leonard of Stockton, Ca. caught limits of salmon to 29 pounds on August 20th while fishing with guide Dave Jacobs of Professional guide service. Sardine wrapped K-15/16 Kwikfish in various color combos has produced a few nice salmon this past week but backbounced or side drifted roe by far was the best technique this past week. Salmon counts are up from last year to 2951 salmon passing through the Red Bluff diversion dam. Daily limits are two salmon per day per angler. Salmon fishing will improve through October.
