Salmon fishermen on the Sacramento River and Sacramento River salmon fishing guides waited patiently as the salmon season here in Northern California pressed on with very little to be excited about in the way of salmonoids. Not much was being reported out of the Sacramento River through the majority of the season. The Feather River which was much more in the public eye caught most of the buzz from the NorCal salmon anglers and salmon fishing guides in the North State. But as October rolls around on the Sacramento River, in true traditional fashion a very catchable amount of two year old king salmon have shown up filling the holes of the upper Sacramento River, in the canyon region and all the way up to the "old mouth" and "barge hole". Averaging a fish a rod through most of September in the Sacramento River, salmon fishing guides working the Sacramento River have been reporting "limit out" style fishing for better then a week now and show no signs of slowing down according to "Fish On Jon" (Jon Kenyon) owner and operator of Fish On With Jon guide service FishOnWithJon.com. Jon Kenyon has been checking in daily with full boat limits of quality kings ranging in size from 7 to 13 pounds with a occasional three or four year old chinook mixed in tipping the scales to 30 pounds. A solid roe bite had put Kenyon at the dock by quit time on Sunday September 24, 2017 at 2:00pm with limits of King Salmon.
