Starting below Keswick Dam the Lower Sacramento is the largest tailwater fishery in Northern California. This spectacular body of water fishes good all year thanks to the temperature regulated flows. Known as a wild rainbow trout fishery this river also supports populations of both King and Chinook Salmon, Steelhead, Smallmouth Bass, Sturgeon, Striped Bass, and multiple species of both rough and forage fish. ...
Most fish are being caught under a strike indicator although a dry fly is a good bet when you see those heads poking up.
January is a great time to do some trout fishing with very little traffic on the Lower Sac.
