Salmon Fishing With
Valley Guide Service

A couple of Salmon "hooked up" on the
Feather River
Giant Kings of the Fall
July - September
Welcome to some of the finest sport
fishing in the lower 48. The beginning of the Fall King Salmon run on the
Sacramento and Feather begins in mid to
late July. Thousands of chrome bright Salmon enter the Feather and Sacramento Rivers on their
quest to spawn. Back bouncing Salmon roe and back trolling plugs
is two of the
techniques we use to hook these monsters. Fish over forty pounds are caught
every year and thirty-pound fish are a common occurrence on these two rivers.
Limits to near limits are the rule, rather than the exception. The annual
migrations on the Feather and Sacramento rivers are very strong with
excellent hatchery programs as well as returning wild fish. Tackle consists of
conventional reels built by Shimano and Loomis Back Bouncing rods.
Hooking, fighting and landing one of these great fish in such proximity to major
metropolitan areas is a true gift. Forty-five minutes north of Sacramento puts
you on some of the best Salmon water in the country. Being based near each of
these premier waters enables us to relocate wherever the hottest action is.
Klamath River Kings
September - October
Beautiful canyon
walls, pristine sand bars, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Black Bears and massive numbers
of King Salmon and Steelhead. What else can you say about the Klamath?
This
river counts its annual salmon returns in hundreds of thousands. Runs in excess
of half a million fish have produced some of the finest Salmon
and Steelhead fishing in the world. Twenty fish days are the norm with thirty to
forty fish per day hooked on several occasions every year. . The average
fish is 6 - 12LBS. with enough fish in the high teens to twenty plus pounds to
keep things exciting. We fish the lower twenty miles of the river, which ensures
ocean bright hard fighting fish only hours from the salt. Drift fishing or "Boondogging"
is the technique employed here. Light action Loomis spinning rods fitted with
quality Shimano reels spooled with ten pound Line and baited with fresh Salmon
roe is the preferred set-up. A jet boat ride up this beautiful river is an
unforgettable experience. Combine this with the great fishing and you have a
five star angling adventure.
