Fishing at Snug Harbor on Steamboat Slough |
|
Fishing on Steamboat Slough has been
going on for a long, long time! Got to this link to read
about fishing in 1862 at the confluence of Steamboat Slough and
Cache Slough with the Sacramento River.

For many regular Snug Harbor visitors and staff, fishing is not just a hobby
but a
passion. If you're a novice, you'll find others are happy to help you
learn to put on a hook, bait, tie knots, cast correctly and other important
procedures. Our motto at Snug Harbor is: "There's no strangers
here...only family, old friends and newly-found friends". Come, catch the
fishing bug with us! The California Delta region of California offers
experienced and novice anglers alike the opportunity for
catching many varieties of fish. Most common are
Stripers, Black Bass, Salmon, Blue Gill, Catfish and
Sturgeon.

JC caught this 33" salmon 9/21/14 at the confluence of Steamboat
Slough and Sacramento River, also called Cache Slough and/or
Sacramento Deep Ship Channel. Green lures and lots of
muscle power were needed to pull this one in! |

Striper and salmon are in Steamboat Slough-last week of
September 2012 |
Just a reminder to some of the frustrated fishing folks...if you
leave your catch on a line in the water, native preditors will
assume you are feeding them!
