THE BEST SACRMENTO RIVER SALMON FISHING STARTS HERE

The main salmon run on the Sacramento River is the "Fall Run" this is the largest run of fish on the Sacramento River and includes the estimated returns of the two tributaries of the Sacramento River, the Feather and American rivers. This run is responsible for the Majority of the caught salmon during Sacramento River salmon fishing season. The Sacramento River salmon fishing run begins around the middle of July and continues through the end in Sept, although most years we will see some fresh Sacramento River fall run salmon showing in the river during October. The Sacramento River fall run has an average return over the last 40 years at around 240,000 fish. That estimate starts with an ocean abundance estimate which is a guesstimate of how many 3–4-year-old adult Sacramento River salmon are swimming around in the ocean with a high likelihood of returning to the Sacramento River between July - October. After the Sacramento river salmon fishing season ends, during the winter California Fish and wildlife and the US fish and wildlife will tally up the commercial salmon fishing landings, commercial passengers fishing vessel logs, observed salmon harvest from surveyors along the river and ocean launch ramps, the number of Salmon that return to the Sacramento river, Feather river and American river hatcheries, as well as a few carcass surveys in the river and creeks in minimal time and effort and not covering much ground. Same with the fish creel surveys the amount of contact and fish counting is minimal due to poor management of the surveyors and timing of their surveys. The majority of accurate information is from Commercial fisherman, guides, charter boats and hatchery returns. They use that information to calculate with some estimations what the actual final Sacramento river Salmon abundance really was.
