6/28 -- FAIR
Fluctuating slightly just over 9000 CFS for almost 4 days. Caddis, PMD's. Rain(!) forecast through early wednesday. Call ahead to gauge impact. Latest report is stale, plus weather iffy, so downgrading.

Flows down to 9500 (from 10,500 monday). Will dip to 7000 friday am, then back to 11,250 by 1pm. PMD's in riffles. Caddis intensifying. Clearwater reported every fish between 16 and 21 inches last 2 days. Check ahead to gauge impact of flow changes.

6/21 -- GOOD
Flows between 13,000 and 13,500 for 5 days. Should be good for fishing, but no reports since 6/16. Making a judgment call to leave at "good".

Latest report 6/16:

6/17 -- GOOD
Steady at 11,000 CFS for two days. Dries doing well. Caddis in afternoon. One guide claims one day this week was so good it rivalled his all-time best day.

6/13 -- FAIR
"Expect the fishing reports to fluctuate like the river flows over the next couple days." Between 10,000 and 14,500. Messes with feeding zones. PMD's, caddis, olives. Call ahead first.

Latest reports 6/13:

6/10 -- FAIR
Flows down to 14,000 (from 20,000 monday). No useful reports. Contact a fly shop or guide.

Latest report 6/6:

6/6 -- FAIR
Flows 20,000 (up from about 14,000 last friday), but dropping below 13,000 by June 9, making it tough for fish to settle in, thus fishing has been variable. PMD's afternoon through evening, but not much surface activity. Warm and dry (finally) weather on the way in should set off caddis. Meanwhile, try small mayfly nymphs, stones.

Latest report 6/6:

5/27 -- GOOD
Increasing flows not affecting fishing (at 9500 CFS, scheduled for 11,500 CFS Saturday). Stonefly nymphs are working well.

5/24 -- GOOD
As a tailwater, this is your best bet in NorCal, where most venues are suffering from a lot of high water. Try nymphing by boat. Lots of big 'uns to be had (see report below). Flows hovering around 8500 CFS.

Latest report 5/22:

5/20 -- VERY GOOD
Lower Sac's your best bet in NorCal. Caddis, Stones and PMD's and hungry fish. Flows are fine (8500 CFS) and water clarity was good but slightly muddied Wednesday after the rains.
