 May is is the peak of striper season,  and the best spots  are upstream from  Colusa on the Sacramento  River and goes into June here.
Reference our striper fishing map, you can see, the stripers make it as far as  Redding, there could be good fishing at Colusa and  then further downstream well into June.  Excellent striper fishing when the  flow is at 4,800 cps, and a minimum is 3,900.
Some on the river  work plugs, the two most popular lures on the river here are  the blue broken-back jointed Rebel and the Cordell Redhead. On the other hand, bait fishermen work most of the Sacramento river, so at  Freeport and the mouth of the American River, the two top baits  from Freeport upstream are fresh sardines and  anchovies. Anchovies are usually “butterflied,”  which means each side of the fish is cut off the  backbone from the gills back.
Most fishermen  hook the fillet twice on long shank hook  tied to a 2- to 3-foot leader and  use super-light monofilament to  tie on the bait. Important in rigging is to use a Slide-doo  or similar device that keeps the sinker from interfering with the action of the bait, because  these fish are very sensitive so if  they feel  the sinker, they spit and split.
Although there are lots  of boats, there is lots of spots on the Sacramento river for bank access, including right in the city of Colusa is a hot spot for  plug-casting  but on the rest of the river, most of the bank action  is with bait .
Stripers also run in the Feather  River, with mostly  at Shanghai  Bend (see the Sacramento River fishing map) near Yuba City, but low  water there has made for  spotty fishing so far. The  American River also  provides good striper fishing in May, especially in the  lower reaches., using the same using the same butterflied  anchovies and sardines are  bait fished on a sliding  sinker rig or 5-inch Rapalas,  Cordells and Bombers.
