Spring
Specials - January - May
Shasta Lake Landlocked Salmon - Landlocked salmon at Shasta Lake are starting to turn on (upper right photo). As the water warms look for hot salmon action on Shasta. Seps flashers followed by Seps Secret lures are producing fish. Troll slow for the best results. Take advantage of our spring specials and the fantastic weather.
We
are pleased to announce that Bill Divens recently became the first IGFA
Certified Captain on the northern Sacramento River. In addition
to keeping records, the IGFA drives conservation, research and legislative
efforts relating to both fresh and salt water fisheries. We are proud
to be associated with this fine organization. Click

It was a beautiful cool sunny day and with most of the guides in this area fishing the Barge Hole and environs we had this section of river pretty much to ourselves. We were backtrolling T-60 Flatfish with the autopilot on and had just seen a bald eagle dive into to the River and fly away with a 14 squaw fish.
We were commenting on the gorgeous scenery, no other boats in sight and how salmon fishing is so much more than just catching when my rod tip dove into the water. I hooked the fish and handed it off to Herb. After multiple runs at the boat where we were sure that the fish got off and after a good 5 minutes of lying on the bottom and refusing to move, I looked down into the clear water and saw the T-60 Flatfish looking like a small shiny speck of silver and chartreuse at the front of a huge silvery ghost. After a few hard runs away from the net, we finally landed this 55 lb. chrome beauty. What makes this story really cool is that Herb was the guide that taught me the River in the early 90s and has since become one of my best friends. A decade ago, I was catching salmon from Herbs boat. It was really fun to have him catch this monster from mine!
