5 Tips To Improve your Sacramento River Fishing Trip:
Being a Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Charter since 1985, you tend to get asked by California Salmon fishermen and women about some pointers or salmon fishing tips. Being a Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Charter since 1985, & you tend to get asked by California Salmon fishermen and women about some pointers or salmon fishing tips.
If I were to give a salmon fishing angler any salmon fishing tips one of the biggest tips I can share is know the “go to” tips and tricks a Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Guide would use. This is great advice and should be a top salmon fishing tip all on its own.
Tip #1: Always know what type of Sacramento River King Salmon you are fishing for. For example, am I fishing for destination Sac River Salmon or migrating salmon. Are they moving up and through or have they already arrived close to their spawning destination and are they in a holding pattern.
Tip #2 Now that you are certain you are fishing for a holding or migrating Sacramento River salmon, think what a Top Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Guide would do. I’m fishing for holding salmon near the hatchery, they are holding in a deep hole like the “hatchery hole” or famed “Barge Hole” below the Coleman National Fish Hatchery near Anderson California and are not heading into Battle Creek just yet. Here you want the best cured Sacramento River salmon roe ready and “firing off” to compete in the Barge Hole bait wars! You want to back bounce or hang your roe offering to these finicky salmon that have seen and smelled hundreds of different hooks. The best bait wins period here….period!! “Mess around here and find out!” Scroll on to #3!

Tip #3: “Give them something different to look at”
Here is when you break out your “old style kwikfish” lures and wrap them with the best or freshest sardine wraps available. Maybe even give them a different scent like canned oil packed tuna. I’ve done this for years with great success but what I have to say next is the best advice I can give a plug fisherman. “Nothing works better than a fresh sardine wrapped old style kwikfish…nothing!!” Don’t be lazy and run that tired washed out bait…I’ve seen and tried it all and there is no doubt that a properly tuned old style kwikfish with a fresh sardine wrap will always produce day in and day out for this Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Guide. When your fresh wrapped kwikfish hits the water just know it is as potent and lethal as soon as you deploy it so be ready for that massive “grab” or “strike!”
Tip #4: Know a good line up of old style kwikfish to use both color and size. Don’t overthink this. As a Top Sacramento River Salmon Fishing Charter I prefer about four to five color schemes. Always have all chrome, or Chartreuse schemes, flame red or hot pinks. If you keep it simple and really focus on a group of colors and sizes you will produce Sacramento River salmon bites daily. Know when to use a small k 15 or when to deploy a t60 of k 16. These sizes are important to have. The time to use a t55 or a t50 will be determined by river water speed and depth, remember water speed and depth!! Don’t forget, tune your plugs before fishing them. If it pulls to the right or left too much make the subtle adjustment with the eye of the plug. I could write and entire chapter on “super tuning” these plugs and I will try to go more into this on another “tips and tricks”.

Tip #5: A lot of the times I’ll pull up into a Sacramento River salmon fishing area & “look ahead”. Maybe there is a lot of boat pressure & the fish might be in deeper water or pushed up to the very top of the riffle in shallow water. Now is when you decide to target the salmon that are where…. You guessed it… “where nobody else is fishing!” As a Sacramento River salmon fishing guide that fished customers from all over the world seven days a week I have to go with my Sacramento River salmon fishing instincts. I have hundred of tips and tricks some very subtle. These are the reasons we catch our full boat limits of Sacramento River King Salmon. Fishing the right stuff on any given day. That’s why looking ahead and deciding what to do is tip number 5.

FAQs
1. Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No. Dave uses only the best equipment, G. Loomis rods, light tackle, all matching equipment and very top quality. On a few occasions anglers have brought their own rod, but seldom use them! All equipment is maintained and set up for peak performance!
2. What type of boat do you have?
I have a 22 ft. Alumaweld Outboard Jet Boat(www.alumaweldboats.com) – this is THE boat preferred by the top guides. It is also the roomiest and most comfortable boat to fish out of.3. How many anglers can you take on the boat?
can easily accommodate 4 anglers on the boat (sometimes more at your request). For larger parties we will secure other boats with the best top quality guides. It is you and your party on the boat – we DO NOT mix parties together.
4. Can you accommodate a large party or corporate account?
I can take 4 anglers on my boat and in some instances I can take up to 6. For larger parties, we would secure other top quality professional guides. If I can’t find a guide who will do a good job for you I will let you know. Only the best – we want you to have an excellent fishing trip.
5. What license/stamps do I need to fish the Sacramento River?
You need your regular California Fishing License. When fishing for steelhead you need a steelhead punch card. When fishing for North Coast Salmon (Trinity, Klamath, and Smith Rivers) you need a North Coast Salmon punch card. White Sturgeon fishing you need a Sturgeon punch card.
Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, lunch/drinks and of course the appropriate fishing license. Anglers keeping fish need an ice chest to take their fish home. For salmon you need a big ice chest!
7. What type of clothing should I wear?
In the summer months it gets hot, but the first light of the day on the river is cool even on those hot days. Always have a pair of sweats to put over your shorts and a sweatshirt. In the fall and winter you need warm clothing. Jackets, hats, and rain gear. Watch the weather and you can always call our toll-free number for current weather conditions.
8. Should I bring rain gear?
During the summer months it seldom rains. It’s always a good idea to bring rain gear – just in case. You can always leave it in your car, or I have lots of room in the boat.
9. Do you fish in the rain?
Yes, we fish in the rain but only if we know there’s good fishing out there (in fact, some of the best days have been on a rainy day). We never take you out, if it looks like a total blow out and not a good chance at catching fish. Bring rain gear!
10. What type of a deposit do you require?
A half deposit is required on all fishing trips, and the balance due the day of the trip. A 14-day cancellation notice is required for refund of any deposits.
11. Do you have gift certificates for sale?
Yes, we have professional gift certificates accompanied with a business card and brochure.
12. Do you have references?
Yes. When fishing full time, year round, you get to fish and make friends from all around the west coast and the beyond!
13. Are there motels in the area?
Yes. We can give you suggestions of motels in the area you will be fishing. Many of the motels offer a “fishing rate”. Call direct to the motel when making a reservation and ask if they offer a “fishing rate”.
14. Where are you located?
We live in Redding California(Located in the heart of Northern California’s “GOLDEN CIRCLE”) approximately 160 miles north of Sacramento. We travel all over the North State and Southern Oregon – depending on where the fish are biting!
