Fishing
Healdsburg
hosts a wide variety of world class fishing opportunities.
The Russian River is home to some of the finest
Steelhead fishing on the West Coast and is prime
during the months of January, February and March.
This is predominantly a hatchery fishery for hard
fighting steelhead, averaging 8 to 12 pounds but
the occasional wild buck to 20 pounds is caught
every year. While there is some fly-fishing, because
of high turbidity found in the river this time
of year, conventional drift fishing gear is the
norm. In the late summer and fall the Alexander
Valley section of the Russian River is home to
a large population of Small Mouth bass that can
be caught on a wide variety of lures. Lake Sonoma,
found only minutes from downtown Healdsburg, is
a relatively new man made reservoir but is home
to a wide variety of sport fish. The most sought
after is the largemouth bass, but there is also
a large population of Small mouth Bass as well.
Spring is the best time to target these gamefish
with all the usual assortments of both top water
baits and rubber worms working well. Largemouth
bass to 12 pounds have been successfully landed
but the average fish will run 2 pounds. In addition
there is a healthy population of black Crappie.
Red Ears Sunfish and Bluegill. Catfish to 20 pounds
have been landed as well as the occasional landlocked
Steelhead. Bodega Bay is the closet ocean port
to Healdsburg and during the summer month’s
fantastic Salmon fishing is available. There is
also a good population of Rockfish, Halibut and
Dungeness Crab that can be sought in season. The
fall months are when the Albacore Tuna venture
close enough to shore and are targeted by the
spoor fishing fleet.
