Salmon fishing on the Sacramento River has been poor this past week with anglers reporting 0 to 2 fish per boat. Back bouncing sardine wrapped kwikfish lures in the morning and switching over to roe and a quickie puff ball in the mid morning and afternoon have been the best producers . Best fishing has been from Anderson Balls ferry down stream towards chico California. Side drifting roe and a quickie puff ball has also produced nice salmon. Salmon have been averaging 18 to 26lbs with larger fish weighing in at 30 to 40lbs. Salmon counts passing through red bluff diversion dam are up to 3,954 salmon. Current releases to the sacramento river have remained at 9600 cfs with no scheduled changes. Big fish of the week was a 31 lb salmon caught by Don Airola fron San Jose California while out with Dave Jacobs professional guide service on Monday September, 3 .More and more salmon are showing every day and salmon fishing should only improve in the coming weeks.
