Sacramento River fishing charter
Sacramento River fishing charter shares a 2020 countdown to the Sacramento River salmon opener.
Folks the count down begins! If you have absolutely no idea what awaits at the end of the countdown or what we are counting down down to, I must apologize. I auto assume everyone suffers from the same sickness myself and others like me do. Symptoms such as the feeling of being lost, not knowing exactly what to do, where to go, or how to go about your day differently. A day spent without feeling the rhythmic beat of a Flatfish or Kwikfish thumping on your Phenix Rod. Not sitting in a seat on the edge of a jet boat with the handle of a nearly silent Yamaha 9.9 kicker motor in your opposite hand. Not having to fixate on the graph (fish finder) and figure out your targets next move. Your snacks arn’t in the bait cooler anymore. You can’t smell the lingering stench of sardine and salmon on your clothing and skin. These are the very real withdrawal symptoms of King Salmon Addiction (KSA). The symptoms will eventually subside after a week or two of quitting cold turkey. Normal life may, but will not always ensue. After several months of living without catching, netting, or processing king salmon. No daily phone calls from clients checking in and out. No clowning on the phone with other veteran fishing guides. As to the social media post and daily ongoings of the new and insecure fishing guides who turned bromances into “fishing teams”. No roe to cure in the garage. No stage four sunglass tan! No stinky finger, from bait odors. Your everyday life as a salmon fishing guide has finally ceased, and you have taken on other ventures and hobbies. At this point you may almost be deemed normal again through the eyes of the close friends and loved ones who know your struggles. Seeing you as more of a feral adult during the months of salmon season, then a fishing guide. Just as you seem fully adjusted to things in the mainstream lifestyle. You realize that June 16th has passed and the one month countdown to opening day of salmon season has started.
The 2020 opening day of salmon season on the Sacramento River and Feather River is less then a month away. The euphoric thoughts of the violent plug bite from a big chrome king salmon start to saturate your mind. This is worth the wait of the countdown I previously left in question. The countdown to the 2020 Northern California’s king salmon season opening on July 16th!!!
The countdown begins! Here is what awaits you on the Sacramento River at Red Bluff California.
