Default October in Northern California, USA

This is a favorite month to fly fish for many in Nor Cal.

The weather here in California is usually fantastic. Not too hot and not too
cold. Many fisheries are in full swing then and there are lots of choices.

Stripers are getting going in the Delta and reservoirs.

Salmon are in many rivers.

Lots of rivers have Steelhead in them then. The Feather, Rogue, Klamath and
Trinity are the closest. In October the water is usually not too cold yet
and the Steelhead will take a fly more easily then.

Black Bass should be happy too. The will be found in the Delta, reservoirs
and ponds.

Trout in many of our Blue Ribbon streams are feeding up for winter. I like
the Pit, Upper Sac and McCloud but many others will be going well then too.

Many trout lakes have fish feeding on or near the surface then. These can be
mid-elevation trout lakes and our low elevation multi-specie reservoirs as
well. It is top water Threadfin Shad time on many reservoirs.

Try to get a trip planned this Fall. You deserve it.

Get a recommendation for a good fly fishing guide here on this news group if
you want to have more going for you.

You can email me if you want some help planning a good trip somewhere.
