Group Classes - Flyfishing for Steelhead on the American River

The American River flows through Sacramento and forms a migratory fish highway from the ocean to Sacramento. We are lucky to have an anadromous fish species in the American River year round. Steelhead are one of these species of fish that show up Dec. through March. During this period fly anglers catch fish up to 15 lb with most averaging 5 lbs-8 lbs. Join us for this informative class which will cover equipment, rigging fishing methods and access. Learn the American River and you’ll soon see how productive fishing in the capital city really can be.
