The Secret Sacramento
To imply that the lower Sacramento trout fishery is a secret would certainly raise the eyebrows of those who know better. However, most “Sac” regulars know very little of the river beyond the Posse Grounds, Balls Ferry, or the Barge Hole. Each November, low agricultural demand affords the removal of the ACID dam (Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District) opening the fishery from just downstream of Keswick Reservoir to Caldwell Park. Late fall-run Chinook fill this upriver stretch often digging redds in quantities that span the river from bank to bank and spring caddis hatches can simply be outrageous. Due to limited wade-in and drift boat access, a 16 ft jet boat serves as the most efficient tool to explore the fishery’s extensive riffles and flats through February.
