Winter is flying by, and here at 530, we can hardly believe we’re already starting to think about the Lower Sacramento and what March will bring. While steelhead fishing is still in full swing, as I write this, many of our steelhead rivers are running high and muddy. That being said, we’re excited to see the Sacramento River get a nice boost today, hitting an impressive 25,000 cfs! Fishing the Sac at high flows is one of our favorite things—there’s something uniquely exciting about big rivers and opportunities that come with these conditions.

Even though March isn’t quite here yet, don’t count the Sac out—this river fishes really well at high flows, offering a different kind of experience that we always look forward to. With spring on the horizon, we’re anticipating those milder temperatures and the hungry trout that come with the season change. We’re gearing up for some great fishing days ahead, and as always, 530 is ready to make the most of it!
