Hello from Sacramento

I haven't targeted them for almost a month. Heard today there was a female not spawned out caught up top.

If there is one there are many. And it makes sense, folks were marking huge schools of fish last month in the delta, weren't salmon, coulda been stripes... Most likely a late run of shad due to the late increase in flows.  The flows were around 500 cfs a while ago and increased to around 2000cfs to fulfill some water contracts I'm sure. The increase in flows was supposed to help with the delta water being too salty or some other crap. It's definitely not to make room in the reservoirs up here for snow melt or rain water. We have neither.

Anyways, the increase in flows mighta brought some late run shad. All a guess on my part. Like I said I haven't targeted them. When I paddled the river from Sailor to Watt on July 11th I didn't see any. Not did I see any of the big stripers I normally see in their usual spots. But did find some schoolie stripers an a few toads in some new places.

Tony, I'd say it's spotty at best. Better bet to target stripes and maybe a port trip. Have t been there in a few months. About due for the paddle.

Matt, pm me up when you fish the port . I'm always down to hit up that place. Looks like a lot of salmon are showing up in sac and the port should be getting some.

Will do brother.
