Feather River
The Feather River is a vital tributary of the Sacramento River, flowing through Northern California’s fertile Sacramento Valley. It officially begins at the Verona confluence, where its waters merge with the Sacramento River approximately 20 miles north of the city of Sacramento. This lower section of the river spans roughly 60 to 73 miles as it travels north to its origin point at the Oroville Dam and the Thermalito Afterbay outlet. Renowned worldwide by anglers, the Feather River supports premier runs of Chinook salmon and striped bass, making it one of the most popular fishing destinations in the state
Sacramento River
The Sacramento River is California’s largest and most significant waterway, serving as the lifeblood of the state's central valley ecosystem. This lower stretch is primarily fished from the city of Sacramento north to Red Bluff, covering a diverse and scenic distance of approximately 130 miles. Starting from its confluence with the American River near downtown Sacramento, the river transitions from a broad, navigable channel to the more rugged, volcanic-lined banks of the upper valley. The river is a world-class destination for anglers, hosting the Fall Run Chinook Salmon and acting as a premier corridor for migrating Striped Bass. Beyond its famous salmon and striper runs, the Sacramento offers legendary opportunities to land massive white sturgeon, hard-fighting steelhead, and trophy-sized rainbow trout.
Bullards Bar
New Bullards Bar Reservoir is a breathtaking deep-water lake nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, known for its crystal-clear emerald waters and steep, forested shoreline. This high-elevation destination has earned a reputation as one of the premier inland fisheries in California, particularly for those seeking high-volume action. We focus our efforts here to take advantage of the lake's massive population of hard-fighting Kokanee salmon, which thrive in its cool, oxygen-rich depths. Anglers can often experience non-stop action as schools of these landlocked sockeye move through the water column, providing consistent strikes throughout the day. It is an ideal spot for anyone looking to fill a cooler and enjoy the fast-paced excitement of catching world-class Kokanee in a stunning mountain setting.
California Delta
The California Delta is a sprawling, 1,000-mile network of tidal waterways and fertile islands where the state’s two largest rivers converge to form the West Coast's most significant estuary. We focus our adventures on the Rio Vista area, a historic river town that serves as the gateway to the massive Sacramento River stem, where powerful currents draw in some of the largest migrating fish in the system. To the south, the San Joaquin stem offers a labyrinth of tule-lined sloughs and deep channels, providing a diverse habitat that produces legendary Striped Bass fishing. Centrally located between these two massive river arms is Brannan Island, a premier launching point that gives us immediate access to the "sweet spots". This entire complex is a world-class fishery, renowned for striped bass, Chinook salmon, and prehistoric white sturgeon!
