About
The Upper Sacramento River is a classic freestone stream, open year round to catch and release fishing. It originates below Lake Siskiyou in Mt. Shasta, winding its way south for nearly 35 miles before it empties into Lake Shasta. Anglers travel from all over the globe to wade the banks of this famed river and cast their flies in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. Located just thirty miles north of Redding, the Upper Sac is known for its breathtaking scenery and acrobatic, wild rainbow trout. This is an incredibly healthy river with strong hatches during the spring and summer months.
