JD with a big topwater striper from the Sacramento River
Finally, it’s time to go catch stripers in the Sacramento Valley!! As we speak, schools of bass are moving into the Sacramento, Feather and American rivers and they’ll hang around until at least June in some areas…but the peak is March-May.
We’re currently booking guided striper trips in the Valley and specialize in using light spinning and fly tackle to throw streamers, topwater poppers and swimbaits.
Depending on the river we fish, we’ll either work out of our super-shallow running jet sled or ultra stealthy drift boat. We can handle up to 4 anglers on the sled and a max of 2 on the drifter.
Of course, all your gear is provided…just show up with a fishing license and a lunch and be ready for some fun!
Over the next several weeks is typically when the fishery peaks. Last year, we had some amazing days — from 50 to 100 fish — and we’re hoping to see more of that kind of action in 2010!

Now, here’s some more inspiration…
