AMERICAN RIVER/Sacramento — Conditions are good with current flows around 4,000 cfs. here should still be some holdover steelies and a few down runners in the system. Stripers are just starting to show on the lower river. There was an early season shad reported at the end of last month.

FEATHER RIVER — there was an Oroville dam release to 10,000 cfs. on the 23rd. and another 9,000 cfs. release scheduled for the 7th. Steelhead reports are spotty from the upper river. Guide Pete Franco reported the start of some limited striper action on the lower river. Minnows are a solid bet, but trolling has been producing as well.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, Keswick Reservoir to Red Bluff. The Fly Shop in Redding reported very good conditions with current flows holding at 4,000 cfs. These are expected to bump up to 6,000 on the 8th. but things should settle after that. Most tributaries are flowing and clarity below Cow Creek is starting to improve. PMDs, Bird’s Nest #16, brown Rubberlegs in #6, #8, and some egg patterns all working for the trout, action has been good, but you may need to mix it up to get a bite. The river above HWY 44 is now closed and will remain closed until August 1st.
