Fishing Report
Updated - 9/4/24
Current Conditions: Normal and clear
Fishing-Excellent:
The Fly Shop in Redding https://www.theflyshop.com reports "Not much to add to the report, the weather is cooling and the smoke has cleared for the most part and Baum is fishing well. Fish stripped leeches or Balanced Damsels under an indicator. Recent info indicates Water Boatmen and Damselflies are huge menu items for the Rainbows. Swinging Damseleeches on an I-Line or throwing the Boatman patterns can be super effective. This watershed is a midge and BWO factory, bring your Zebra Midge box and change up colors if you aren't getting takes. The BP Weiss Nymph in light or dark will likewise fish well. And for dry fly fishing, an assortment of Adams in #14-18 with some dark Missing Links thrown in can have you head hunting asap. Balanced Leeches in black and olive under an indicator when the wind picks up can save the day here."
