Trinity River Fishing Image
September 6, 2024
Trinity River Report by Mat Squillante

A gorgeous day, on the beautiful Trinity river. Thousands of dragonflies gave an impressive aerial display above water, while the fish more than held their own below the surface. A day of 1/2 pounders can be fast action fun, especially when a few adults and a brown are thrown into the mix. Book any of our Trinity guides for the coming months, when the fishing turns on and the adults takeover the show.

Lower Sac Report by Luke Geraty

Well it's been awhile since I wrote a river report, so here's a quick update. First, the flows are still BIG but the river's been slowly creeping down. I think we're just around 11,600cfs. The fishing has been all over the map, from really tough to really good. When it's good, it's GREAT. When it's tough, you just got to work hard and be creative and hope things line up. The last two weeks have been more consistent and better, so it's starting to feel a bit more connsistent. The mornings have had some pretty big midge and small mayfly hatches. The afternoons and evenings may or may not have some caddis. Today was pretty consistent until around 1:30pm... then it slowed down. However, Chuck hooked all of the BIGGER fish in the last hour and a half, so I guess it was still successful. And actually... he landed 87.5% of his fish today, ha ha! Yes... we kept track in order to compare it to the previous day... which we wan't talk about :) Anyway, the weather is starting to cool down and the fishing is improving. I've got a bit of September dates available, in October, and then the steelhead season on the Trinity takes over. Give us a call at Confluence if you wanna get out! We've got plenty of guides to get you out for a fun day! NOTHING

Fall River Fishing Image

Fall River Report by Andrew Harris

I just got back from a busman's holiday on Fall River.  I fished with fellow guides Randy Hamann, Luke Geraty and Mike Wright.  Fishing is good throughout the day with occasional periods of greatness if you're in the right place at the right time!  The predominant hatch was PMD mayflies, both spinners and duns.  The spinners are creamy white and the duns were a pale olive color.  We had good dry fly opportunities from 9-11am, good streamer fishing throughout the day, and pretty good nymph fishing from lunch through the end of the day.  Callibaetis mayflies should start hatching in good numbers soon.  My favorite time on Fall River is August and September - there is plenty of time to book a trip still this season!
