American River in Sacto
Permalink  
 

I haven't fished Putah lately, as the fish seem to be in full spawn mode.  I have spent a few hours at Goethe Park after cruising the moto track at Hangtown.  So far I have only had one fish straighten my hook on a fox poopah.  Does anyone have any tips for steelhead on the american through Sacramento?  In January I think the upper section opens up.  I have heard that fishing can be crowded and tempers out of control in that area.  What is the best setup? Indicator or not, floating line or sinking, flies?

To add to Otters questions.  In the area of whih he is speaking is it best to float tube there?


Or can you wade out there some?

I think the best way to fish the American is in a drift boat, but I don't have one.  I have never seen anyone in a float tube.  The flows are around 2,000 CFS, but you can wade Goethe fairly easily with a staff.  Watch other fishermen to see where to cross, cast, etc

What makes a drift boat a drift boat?  I'm serious, sounds like something I would like to have but have no idea what I would be looking for.

Drift Boats


Nevermind I figured it out I did a internet search.  They are an interesting watercraft for sure.


It's funny every picture I saw of people using them, they were not actually in the boat, it was anchored and they were wading?


MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
