Does anybody know if the salmon are in heavy in the Sac in Sacrament? What do you use to catch the hogs and where do you fish? I want to put out in downtown Sac, maybe Discovery Park or down on Broadway.

Haven?t caught a salmon in 5 years since I left Oregon, I really want to get one this year.

I dont fish the sac much. But if you come up and fish the feather river its been excellent. Get my limit everyday. I use a gibbs minnow. 1 ounce so u can use a trebble hook. Lose to many with the single hook.

Thanks.

I got a buddy that lives in Yuba and he fishes that river. Don't know why, but he is not a salmon fisherman. He has never caught one. Going hunting this weekend but may try to stay the night in that area next weekend and try it.
