Hatch Chart and up to date Stream Flows

Current River Conditions: low flow - Approx. 640 CFS

high flow - 1200 CFS at Gridley

Fishing - Good:  Sierra foothill guide Steve Acosta  (408) 205-3026 reports that " the low flow is low and can be good if you find them in pods. Now that high flow is normal  it will be best to concentrate on that stretch. They’re not too picky, they’re eating squirmies , baetis , midges in morning than Caddis patterns in afternoon. Weighted Euro flies also when fishing gets tough." 

Nymphs: #14 Caddis, #16/18 Baetis, #16 PMD, #12 Micro-Spawn  
Streamers: #6 sculpin, #10 Hale Bopp, 
Dries: #12 Caddis, #14 PMD.
 
Nymphs: Caddis, Baetis, PMD, Micro spawn, San Juan worms 
Streamers: Alvin, Olive leech, egg patterns. 
Dries: Caddis, PMD, BWO.  A two fly set up with an egg pattern being one of the flies is your best bet.
