Kaseberg Creek

Kaseberg creek is my favorite place to fish during the hard to fish months of the winter because there is a warm water discharge the keeps the water warm during the cold winter. this warm water makes it so that when the rest of the creek is cold the fish school up in huge numbers and you can catch them for hours on end. Kaseberg creek is also the only place I have found pumkinseed within 3 hours of Sacramento.

Location

The intersection of Blue Oaks Boulevard and Hayden Parkway.

I park on Hearthside Court and walk down the trail until I reach where the gravel road crosses the trail then follow the gravel road down to the spillway.
