Fishing-Good:
The Fly Shop in Redding https://www.theflyshop.com says "The river is in great shape from Ash Camp down through the Conservancy. Overall the river is fishing well, best before and after the sun is on the water. There are browns getting ready to spawn, you can get them on nymphs and it isn't out of the question to fool them with streamers. The October Caddis should be pupating now, so we'll keep our fingers crossed there's a big crop this season. Dry-dropper with a Chubby Chernobyl hanging a Weiss Firefly, Walt's Worm, Olive Hotspot, or Sweet Pea is a good setup. The Yellow Sallies are coming off in the afternoons, so swap your dropper with a UV Sally or Jiggy Yellow Sally. As the browns get closer to spawning they will be more aggressive, fish streamers for them."
