Sacramento River salmon fishing report July 2020

Mike Rasmussen put Bruce and Bryce on some great king salmon during todays salmon opener near Red Bluff California.

After fishing salmon and steelhead for the last six or so weeks every single day, we have gotten the best plugs fine tuned, the best bait combos worked out and the salmon roe cured and ready to fish! The Sacramento, American and Feather Rivers have finally re opened this morning after a long six month closure and both rivers did not dissappoint.  As soon as our old style Luhr Jensen Kwikfish and old t-55 Flatfish were finished being wrapped and marinated in our secret bait combinations the plugs were deployed to the rivers bottom just shy of 5am. Lift, bounce, tic..tic...POW...Fish on!  We were fortunate to hook and land our first Sacramento Valley king salmon of the 2020 salmon season.  Lucky for us we had a few hot sticks on the boat and quickly hooked up on a total of nine salmon, having three come unbuttoned during a viciuos fight and landing six fresh adult king salmon. Todays double digit pile of king salmon came to the net courtesy of Dave Jacobs, Ryan Tripp, Mike Rasmussen, Mike Tripp and Mike Tipton.  The hot rod of the day was guide Mike Tripp with many kings hooked and landed this morning. 

The Sacramento and Feather rivers are now open for a full season through December 31st on the Sacramento and October 31st on the Feather River.  Anglers can hook and keep two adult salmon on the Sacramento River each day and three adult salmon over on the Feather River each day.

There has been fantastic salmon fishing reports coming in daily out of the salt, many fish and BIG fish!  The salmon are beginning their upriver migration to their spawwning grounds and the salmon run in river will only build from here on out.
