Default salmon fishing?

Hi Louis,

Salmon come into the Sacramento drainage almost year round. We have mostly
"King" salmon with some "Silvers" entering the Klamath and Trinity rivers.

We have endangered "Spring Salmon" or "Springers" that are Kings that come
into some of the Sacramento valley rivers Feb - May.

Starting around the 4th of July we get some small schools of early run fall
spawning Kings into the valley rivers but because of the limited numbers and
high heat they are not easily caught on a fly.

As mentioned here in another post, the lower Feather River near Oroville in
September is the number one place to catch a salmon on a fly in California.

The furthest south would be the lower American River in Sacramento for King
salmon in October.

When does the salmon fly fishing start in California and is there a more
southern place to do it?
