Shad fishing in Sacramento River- FishingBooker

Sacramento River

Sacramento River, United States

sacramento-river

<p>The Sacramento River, stretching over 400 miles through Northern California, stands as one of the state's premier freshwater fishing destinations. Known as 'The Nile of the West,' its diverse ecosystems support year-round angling for trophy-sized species, including Chinook Salmon—with all four distinct runs present—alongside hard-fighting Rainbow Trout, Steelhead, Striped Bass, and White Sturgeon. The Upper River's crystal-clear currents near Redding offer world-class fly fishing for wild trout, while the Lower River's deep pools near Sacramento yield massive salmon and aggressive bass.</p>
<p>From the rugged wilderness stretches around Douglas City to the fertile Delta estuaries, the river accommodates every style of fishing. Expert-guided drift boat trips unlock prime spots for consistent 17'+ trout, while kayak anglers explore secluded backwaters teeming with bass and catfish. With specialized charters available in Sacramento, Anderson, and Redding, anglers access proven techniques for each season: spring Striped Bass blitzes, summer salmon trolling, and winter sturgeon battles in the brackish reaches.</p>
<p>This legendary fishery combines accessibility with raw wilderness—urban piers minutes from downtown Sacramento feed into remote Class II rapids where wild steelhead thrash. Whether chasing 20-inch rainbows on Euro-nymph rigs or drifting bait for 50-pound sturgeon, the Sacramento delivers unmatched variety. Its reliable flows from Shasta Dam sustain thriving insect hatches and deep holding lies, making every mile a potential trophy encounter.</p>

<div>
	Striper season is in full swing on the Sac River. Expect multiple battles with these feisty fish, most of them weighing 3–5 pounds. If you have the patience to fish for a trophy, you might be rewarded with a 20–40 pounder.</div>

<div>
	August is one of the best times to fish the river, with your choice of King Salmon, Rainbow Trout, and more. The second fall Salmon run is just around the corner, so gear up for some trophy-sized Kings!</div>


<div>
	The Sac River is full of opportunities in December. Even when the Salmon season comes to a close, you can stay busy by hooking into Sturgeon, winter Steelhead, and Rainbow Trout.</div>

<div>
	Fly fishing for Steelhead and Rainbow Trout continues to provide the majority of the action on the river in February. This is also one of the best times to fish for Sturgeon as they move up the river to spawn.</div>


<div>
	Even in the dead of winter, you can expect excellent catch-and-release fishing for Steelhead and Rainbow Trout. Fly anglers on the Upper Sac River find nymphing especially productive in cold months like January.</div>


<div>
	King Salmon fishing typically opens in July, marking the first of the fall runs. You can expect an abundance of 20–30 lb fish. Depending on the year, Shad may still be in season.</div>


<div>
	As summer progresses, there are more and more anglers on the river, eager to catch Trout, Shad, and more. Striper season will be strong until the end of the month.</div>


<div>
	Continue to enjoy excellent Sturgeon and Trout fishing in March, you'll have a blast. Striper fishing starts to pick up around this time of year, but the best of the season is just ahead.</div>


<div>
	May brings some of the best fishing action on the river, and there's something for everyone! Striper season is still on, complemented by a brief but productive Shad season. As always, you can't go wrong when fishing for Rainbow Trout.</div>


<div>
	November offers more great Salmon fishing, along with a steady supply of Rainbow Trout and Steelhead. Some Sacramento River fishing guides continue to fish for Trout and Sturgeon throughout the winter.</div>


<div>
	Hit the water in search of massive King Salmon through October, there's plenty of them out there, and they're hungry. Rainbow Trout and the fall Steelhead run will keep you busy when you reach the Salmon quota.</div>


<div>
	September boasts the best of Sacramento River Salmon fishing. You'll see fewer King Salmon at this time of year, but it's all about 'quality over quantity' this month. The sheer size of these brutes (40–70 pounds) will wow you.</div>


<p>
	Some of the best freshwater fishing action in California, even the country, is on the Sacramento River. The longest river in the state, once called 'The Nile of the West' boasts 400 miles of fantastic angling opportunities for all the freshwater gamefish you can think of. If you're not sure where to go, Sacramento River fishing guides will show you to the best bite.</p>
<p>
	Depending on where you decide to cast your line, you could catch a variety of species. The Upper Sac is dominated by a Rainbow and Brown Trout population that's active all year. Sea-run Rainbows, aka Steelhead, are also out there for the taking in spring and fall. Fly fishing is one of the preferred methods to land a good-sized Trout, and Sac fishermen know it.</p>
<p>
	If you're looking for trophy Salmon, you should hit the Lower Sacramento River, where you can find Chinook in all shapes and sizes. These feisty fighters can grow up to a whopping 70 pounds! Striped Bass are among the favorite species in spring, and anglers looking for monster catches will love pursuing White Sturgeon in the winter months.</p>
<p>
	Seeing that the Sacramento stretches for hundreds of miles, it's safe to say you'll easily find a fishing charter suitable to your angling needs. There are some guides that run specialized trips for a particular species, perfect for trophy chasers. Half day trips are excellent for beginners and families, and full days are the right pick for more dedicated anglers.</p>
<p>
	The best spots to find an experienced local to take you out include Sacramento, Douglas City, Anderson, and Yuba County.</p>


Spend half a day fishing for Striped Bass, Sturgeon, Rainbow Trout, and King Salmon. All rods and reels are included in the price, unless you wish to fly fish, in which case you are free to bring your own. Please buy a fishing license before the day. You are welcome to bring your own food and drink.
