Quite a few late Fall salmon are being caught on the Sacramento River with good fishing from Anderson Balls Ferry downstream towards Chico, Ca. A few late Fall salmon have been landed in the 30 to 40 pound class this past week with reports of salmon being caught on sardine wrapped K-15/16 Kwikfish lures in various color combos. Backbouncing has been best bet with good fishing most of the day. All salmon being caught are new chrome bright king salmon averaging 12 to 20 pounds. Salmon in the 40 to 50 plus pound class are a real possibility this time of year on this river. Salmon season will continue through mid January.

Trout fishing on the lower Sacramento River from Redding downstream towards Red Bluff has slowed a bit this week for wild rainbow trout 1 to 2 pounds with larger wild bows' to 3 pounds occasionally boated. Multiple hook-ups are common with 25 to 30 bow's boated per outing being the average for angler's at the right places on the river at the right time. Best bets have been side drifted small hand tied glo bugs in various egg color patterns. Some hatchery and wild steelhead have been caught in the Lower Sacramento River with most steelhead averaging 2 to 4 pounds with larger steelhead 5 pounds or better. Redding to Anderson has been good for trout and Anderson downstream has been better for trout and steelhead. More and more steelhead should show everyday through November. Current releases from Keswick dam are 5,600 cfs.
