REDDING- Salmon anglers are experiencing mixed results while fishing the Sacramento River. Some guides say the bite is on the upswing, others have experienced steady fishing. The one thing that everyone can agree on is the fact that there are some big beautiful chromers up for grabs. “I’ve seen some improvement recently,” reported Mike Bogue of Mike Bogue’s Guide Service. “We’ve been getting more fish overall. The fish are chrome bright beautiful salmon. I hope the numbers continue to build. I’ve been getting almost all of my fish on back trolled T-55 Flatfish.” Robert Weese of Northern California Guide Service describes the fishing as consistent. “We are getting some very nice fish, but we certainly are not scoring limits. Most days we are getting around fish per rod. My scores haven’t changed much since the opener, but hopefully the salmon numbers will ramp up shortly. Nobody is complaining about the quality of the fish. They average about 15 pounds and are top quality fish. Back bouncing with both Flatfish and roe has been producing fish for my boat,” disclosed Weese. If you want to be in a position to score some Sac River chrome when the fishing gets hot, it’s wise to book your spot early. Both Robert Weese and Mike Bogue are top sticks when it comes to putting anglers on big bad kings. To book a trip with Weese of Northern California Guide Service, give him a ring at (530) 755- 7196.
