The Lower Sacramento is no secret as it is one of the best tailwater trout fishery in the west. While many guides focus on the river up through the town of Redding and Anderson Hogan spends most of him time around Cottonwood south through Los Molinos fishing for trout and steelhead.

The Lower Feather River is home to two runs of both wild and hatchery steelhead. Fall Run fish show up in September with the run peaking mid October to Mid November. The fall fish follow up the fall run salmon and gorge on eggs prior to spawning in the winter. Spring Run fish show up in March and peak season is April. Spring run are best fished for with traditional swung fly methods and eat swung flies better then any other valley steelhead.

Hogan grew up on the Lower Yuba River and has guided the Yuba for nearly 20 years. This is his home waters by all definitions. He has private access for "put ins" and "take outs" and can provide anglers access to water rarely seen by the public. The Lower Yuba River is a true hatch based tailwater with options to nymph, fish to hatches and rising fish, as well as swing flies on any given day.

The Lower Sac and Northern California in general offer all sorts of options for Carp, Shad, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass. From giant flats on valley lakes to mangrove esque coves on the Lower Sacramento River there many options to try different types of fishing in a given day.

California has some of the premier Spotted Bass Fisheries in the country. Spotted Bass fishing on the foothill and valley lakes is best during the winter months and fish during the time when most rivers are blown out. There are many options for fishing for these fish, but this is home to Float'n Fly innovators like Ryan Williams and Chuck Ragan. That said there are options to fish stripped flies and topwater at any time. Great options for beginners or those looking to try something different.

There are two populations of Striped bass in the Lower Sacramento River the "migratory" run of fish that enters the river in March and makes their way up river in large schools to spawn through May and our "resident" population of fish that are in the system year round. Fish average from 12"- to true trophies in the 30-50lbs class. Hogan has pioneered this fishery with a fly rod. He is the first licensed Captain to guide Fly Fishing year round for striped bass on the Lower Sacramento River and is widely regarded as a leading innovator in river striper fishing.
