February 2022 Report

Kokanee Fishing
It's off the charts limits of Kokanee salmon is happening everyday at Whiskeytown Lake. Average size fish are 12to 14 inches. Fish are really chunky and normally we don't fish for them this early but the weather is so warm you can't just sit around when the fishing is wide open. Depth of the fish are averaging 19 to 25 feet.

Trout Fishing
It's been pretty decent fishing for trout on Shasta Lake even with cold mornings fish are biting around Dry Creek arm and Big Back Bone. Fish are hitting the surface from 10 feet to 35 feet. Trolling small spoons. Bass fishing has been a little tough with fish biting much better during mid day.

Winter Steelhead
The weather is beautiful and the fishing is good! Some really nice winter steelhead are being caught with average days in the teens. Drifting egg patterns is the best way to catch these trout and steelhead. Catching fish on the Sacramento River!

Salmon
Beautiful weather and fantastic fishing at Whiskeytown Lake is keeping the Kokanee salmon fishing steady! In the 33 years of guiding I've never seen the Kokanee fishing this good at this time of the year. Every trip we are getting a bigger fish and I suspect I will see 17 and 18 inch fish by summer!

Sacramento River Steelhead
Even with this cold spell we are still managing to catch some giant fish on the Sacramento River. The last few days the water has hit really cold and the fishing has got a little challenging. The biggest steelhead in this season was this monster we caught drifting eggs. Water is still flowing at 3250 cfs. With fishing like this we will be bouncing from the lakes to the river all month.

Kokanee Salmon on Whiskeytown Lake
It's been really awesome fishing with lots of limits of fish out at Whiskeytown Lake. The Kokanee are getting bigger as the weeks are going on. Trolling from 12 feet to 35 has been the best bet.
