Monster Sac River King

As you’ll read about in the October issue of California Sportsman, water levels in the Sacramento River are low but spirits optimistic king fishing will pick up in October with the promise of cooler temperatures. But as Manuel Saldana Jr. of Marysville-based MSJ Guide Service told me, some September days have been productive.

And there are some giant kings in the river, as this one was courtesy of Kirk Portocarrero of Sac River Guide.
