About Your Trip

If you've been on the hunt for world-class King Salmon fishing right here in California, this trip with Captain Jacob has your name on it. You'll be fishing the Sacramento River for Chinook (King) Salmon on conventional tackle. These kings make for great table fare.

To hook up these big Salmonids, you will be fishing the deep cold waters of the upper Sacramento River. These fish have well-deserved reputations as powerful fighters, so be prepared
to do battle if you hook a trophy. The summer and fall months offer the best of both worlds when it comes to fishing the Sacramento River, with excellent weather and river conditions, alongside first-class Salmon fishing. Summer king fishing can mean limit out style fishing with fish up to and over 40lbs! Throw in a little light tackle, and that is the makings of an epic day of fishing!

Captain Jacob has put in a ton of time on this river, and knows the water here extremely well. He's able to consistently put his clients on fish, and send them home with amazing stories, great pictures, and full coolers. All you need to bring is your California Fishing Licenses, some sun protection, and some snacks and trips for the trip!
