Isleton Fishing Report


With Big Heat forecast the next few days, the salmon are still trickling into the area.   The Warm evening temps temps should continue to keep the Catfish bite the bite rolling. Mackeral and Sardines are the best here. Still the Smallmouth continue biting to help you beat the  summer doldrums .  Scroungers tipped with flukes and DDO crank are good choices here for the hard fighting smallies.

Walnut Grove Fishing Report

Bank anglers using worms and cut baits prevail  for those searching for Whiskerfish. The Sacramento Turning Basin is still decent here as there continues to be stripes caught there by lure tossers. Spoons and small shad patterns are the top choices here as well..  Few More Salmon reports in the area as anglers recover still around as temperatures return more. Best area has been Courtland to Walnut grove.

Still a trickling in..A few reports of Salmon grabbing Mepp’s and DDO spinners. Still not great yet. Bass Bite stays solid in the Break and surrounding cuts.
