Fishing Report, January 1

Happy New Year, everyone!

American River
The top end of the American River opened today to fishing and the steelheading was fair at best for most. The family and I always do NEW YEARS in Palm Springs, so I wasn’t on the water. However, I talked with some of my guide pals and local river rats and they all said it was tough. Guide Rick Soto was the shining star with3 adults landed but most boats either blanked or got 1.

Don’t worry….it WILL get better as the month rolls along!
