Keep an eye on the American River this time of year in Northern California. You might see a sea lion. A KCRA 3 viewer passed along a video she shot of a sea lion swimming upstream Monday just before 5 p.m. at the William B. Pond Recreation Area in Carmichael. … Peter Tira with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said that sea lions in the American River are “very common this time of year. The Chinook salmon and steelhead trout are spawning right now.”
