Sacramento River - Lower - CA

Curing salmon eggs is simple and Pautzke Bait Co. makes everything you will need to put up some very effective baits for salmon, trout, steelhead, and a lot of other fish as well.

Heat one end of the heat shrink tube before you load your lead shot!

Use a heat gun to shrink the heat shrink tubing around your lead shot and swivel.

Three components make up these drift weights.

330 lead shot, #5 barrel swivels, heat shrink tubing, and a heat gun.

Make as many as you need and use different size shot and numbers of shot to satisfy your drift fishing requirements for the areas of the rivers you fish.

Sac River steelhead like the one pictured are considered average size.

Steelhead like this wild specimen are among some of the most sought after fish in the west!

Nice Sacramento River steelhead caught with a Dick Nite spoon!

Tony's first Sac River fishing trip was a success!
