Feather river and Sacramento river King Salmon run 2018 with irideus fly fishing flies

Irideus Tangerine Dream and Krypto Chrome tube flies done and ready for Alaska and California clients. These flies get the attention of angry king Salmon early in the morning. Feather river and Sacramento river King Salmon tend to hit flies from grey light until about 8 AM so your window is small. You may get some reaction strikes late in the day but the middle of the day tends to be off. It does happen but better to focus on some good advice. hence that was the good advice for people trying their luck this year on the local Nor Cal waters.

More tube flies for all salmon species cleanly held tight in the irideus Tribute tube fly box. Standard salmon fly fishers will find any conehead fly will also firt into the flex foam. It holds hooks and has 88 slits for standard flies or hooks. Its a great box worth owning.

Some clean Feather river California chrome. If you put your time in even at mid day a dram fish may take your fly. You never know unless you go.

Some basic Feather River king Salmon flies. We also will fish  Irideus Kasilof Cassy Intruders which are pink. Some other hot picks would be the Mortal trout tube flies. They will hit ever so light only trying to injure or destroy the intruder or egg so you have to be ready to set that hook. if you do not keep in contact with your fly or you will miss salmon. They do not crush the fly all the time.

A big Sacramento River King that fell for black after the normal morning bite. fly fishing can be a tough game on this river. We suggest finding a good local guide to help you if you are new to the area. If you need a referal contact us we are happy to put you into good hands.

King Salmon in California and the Irideus timothy Horner American Flag tube flies are a perfect fit. When wet this fly will be seen and snapped at by fresh King Salmon. Its a worthy fly to pack into your arsenal for all salmon species. Well sockeyes may not hit this fly but thats the truth on them. Some say they will hit a shrimp style fly but its a toic we will pass on today.

Irideus Pink Intruders ready for a morning swim. Fly fishing with the love color early in the morning gets the blood pumping and all cylinders firing.

An irideus Baitfish fly that will temp kings but also may put a striper on your fly rod. Both the feather river and Sacramento river hold striper worthy of any fly casters time. last weekend we found a school of small striper. They ended up making our day. The salmon have been slow at least on the Sacramento. Seasoned guides will help you find them but the fly fishing game is slow. Aggressive schools on tiny baitfish flies can be a blast. We even hooked a few on the barbie kids rod which made for some great fun and laughs. Its about having fun so remember that. We see some stuffy folks out there at times that are missing the big picture and also referals. so have fun people!

Irideus pixie Baitfish streamers are wonders of the multi species game and will take smallmouth,King Salmon,Striper,Steelhead and trout for people who just can not pick the right fly. this is a match for the river hatch so trust in a timeless tested and true fly from Irideus. 

We also carry some conventional rods to cast flies using a Carolina style rig to cover more water on big sections. It is effective and can bring hope when the fly rod is not cutting it. We also want to point people toward fishing swimbaits on conventional rods for trophy striper in the local rivers. It has been effective and has put out some giant fish. Using these large swimbaits may shock a few fly casters yet if your a well rounded angler you should educate yourself on these offerings. Check out the Morone Swimbaits and Glide baits for a well rounded selection of local baitfish and tailed offerings. You can get some information here https://moronetrophystriperswimbaits.blogspot.com/ You will find Squawfish,Sacramento Splittail,King Salmon fry,Trout,Steelhead and Kokanee swimbaits and glidebaits that match the hatch. So never give up but you may have to adapt to be a success. Check these lures out and let your friends know about them.

When the Chinook Salmon run is in full swing with steelhead following behind there lies something under the school. Sea run striped bass that enjoy the steelhead dining experience. These massive steelhead eating machines break off most times, yet with proper spey fly fishing equipment the trophy California Striped bass can be tamed. On days when many people would be using a sink tip we have changed things up with some new custom fly fishing leader systems and tippets. The 7/8 Irideus Spey Rod offers the backbone to cast large streamers the distance yet offers enough tip flex for a violent last minute run from a large fish. All of our rods have this designed into the tip flex and mid point of our spey rods. Top flies flor these large California game fish are the Irideus Baitfish Streamers Flies. Its hard to let an opportunity like this be left unchallenged.
