Lower Sacramento, California River Fishing Report -
August 17, 2017

and few anglers fishing. The daily highs are not desirable for sure. The fish are
still there and happy, affected very little by the heat.
Stream Conditions:
7 Day Weather Forecast: There is no chance of rain for the next week. The
highs will range from 101 to 106 degrees and the lows from 67 to 71 degrees.
