Lower Sacramento River Trout Spey

Service Description

Lower Sacramento River Trout Spey Trips Big water, strong currents, and powerful wild trout make the Lower Sacramento River an incredible playground for Trout Spey. Using two-hand rods, we swing streamers, soft hackles, and leech patterns through long runs where rainbows hunt, giving you a Spey experience with steady action and the chance at trophy trout. The Experience From a drift boat or wading prime gravel bars, you’ll learn how to set up and fish Trout Spey rigs designed for this river’s big flows. We’ll cover casting techniques, swing speed control, and how to read water for feeding fish. This style of fishing is both highly engaging and rewarding—perfect for Spey anglers who want to sharpen their skills outside of steelhead season or for single-hand anglers looking to expand into two-hand casting. What’s Included • Full-day guided trip with an experienced Trout Spey instructor and guide • Premium Trout Spey rods, reels, and Skagit/Scandi setups (or bring your own) • Flies matched to seasonal forage and water conditions • Instruction on casting, line management, and swing presentation • Drift boat access, shore lunch, and hot/cold beverages Season & Conditions The Lower Sacramento fishes well for Trout Spey year-round, but October through April offers prime conditions when fish respond aggressively to swung flies. The tailwater flows remain steady, giving consistent opportunities even when other rivers are high or off-color. Why Trout Spey on the Lower Sac? • Active, cast-and-step style fishing with constant engagement • Chance at large, hard-fighting wild rainbows on the swing • Year-round option for honing Spey skills • Perfect blend of technical fishing and high catch potential
