California is home to some of the most prolific salmon runs on the West Coast. The kings in our streams average 15-18 pounds, with 30 pounders not uncommon and fish as high as 50+ pounds are taken each season. Most of our king fishing is done with conventional gear, though fly trips are also available.

Feather River | The Feather is one of the top producers of kings anywhere and it annually recieves 30,000 to 146,000 kings from May through September.

American River | A delightful stream that fills up with anywhere from 30,000 to 111,000 salmon per year in September, October and November.The scenery along the American is beautiful and, since jet boats are not allowed on the river, drift trips are incredibly peaceful.

Sacramento River | The mother of all California salmon streams, the Sac hosts 50,000 to 160,000 salmon per season in September, October and November.
