Current Conditions: 6500 CFS

Fishing: Good: The Fly ShopTM in Redding   https://www.theflyshop.com  reports: "The fishing is very good and getting better. Flows are 6,500 CFS from Keswick, the water is clear and the fish are healthy. We are beginning to see some salmon in the lower river, some fish are coming to egg patterns. Caddis are coming off in some locations, BWOs can be coming off in force some days, and midges are definitely a thing in the morning. Down around Jellys Ferry and downstream you should see some hatchery steelhead showing up, they are grabby and will take a swung fly. Good flies are Bird's Nests, Olive Hotspot, ZT Jignation in BWO, Olive Two-bit Hookers, BP Weiss Nymphs, orange beads, and Rubberlegs on some days. As we get closer to October they will continue to draw the river down, we'll see salmon on redds, and a bunch of wild rainbows right behind them!
