If there is one thing Sacramento is known for, that would be its river fishing. There may be a number of impressive freshwater fisheries in Northern California. However, one cannot argue that none is as versatile as the Sacramento River. This is because aside from its diverse fish population, fishing any time of the year is also productive. The Chinook salmon, rainbow trout, steelhead, striped bass, sturgeon, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, shad, Sacramento sucker, catfish, smelt, and minnows are just some of the species you might encounter here.
Another fishing destination is the California Delta, which is centered around the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. One of the most targeted species there is bass. The California Delta is home to all three major species of black bass- the largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass. This is also the best destination in the state if you are looking to catch one especially during the months of March through November. Other famous catches in the California Delta include: sturgeon, catfish, salmon, American shad, bluegill, bullhead catfish, channel catfish, and crappie
Other fishing spots include The American River where offshore fishing and boat casting produces some of the most productive catches. Fish species in this river include steelhead, king salmon, striped bass, Sacramento pikeminnow, Pacific lamprey, speckled dace, and American shad.
