Current Conditions: 6000 CFS

Fishing: Very Good: "The Egg Bite is ON"  We fished from the Posse Grounds to Bonnyview with Tim Fox (530)949-0238 on Thursday and did pretty well.  Actually it was one of the best days I've had on the Sac.   It was all about fishing below Salmon redds.  The fish were amazing shape with lots of hard tugs.  Egg patterns and tiney olive mayfly patterns were getting the most eats.  Picked up mostly on eggs.

The Fly Shop in Redding TM reports: More salmon are showing up daily, the higher you go the tougher it will be to get fish to eat as there is a lot of pressure. The river is in great shape and there are some nice, large fish coming to the net. Fish are eating eggs, and you can still find fish taking BWO patterns as well. The fish are fat, healthy and strong! Fish egg patterns when you see salmon, all other times the best flies are the BP Weiss Nymph, smaller Olive Hotspot, and sometimes the Rubberlegs. Keep your eyes open in case something else is going on, you can see some smaller caddis or tiny PMDs coming off too, so bring some Bird's Nests, and whatever flavor of PMD nymph you prefer to be on the safe side. Down around Jellys Ferry and downstream you should see some hatchery steelhead showing up, they are grabby and will take a swung fly.
