Good Salmon bite
Striped Bass, Salmon

Salmon season on the Sacramento reopened July 16 below Woodson Bridge (Corning), and early signs are good... fish are already showing, with one guide reporting kings in the 25-30 lb class since opening day.

Best bets right now are the confluence spots: Discovery Park (where the American meets the Sacramento) and the Feather River mouth near Verona, both solid for bank or boat access.

Striper action is winding down, although a few schoolies are still reportedly being caught in Colusa.
