Fishing is Fair to Good:
Steve at theTed Fay Fly Shop, in Dunsmuir CA (530)235-2969 www.tedfay.com reports that weather has been good and water temperatures are in the sixties which is perfect for this time of the year. Not much dry fly action going on but those using nymphs are doing well. He says there are some larger fall run fish down in the lower river. No sign of October Caddis yet. He says that good presentation is more important than which fly pattern you use.
The Fly Shop in Redding recommends Rubberlegs, Perdigons, BP Weiss Nymphs, Poopahs, Zebra Midges and Bird's Nests to round out your offerings.
​
The shop has new owners Cory & Jessica who are Dunsmuir locals. Make sure to stop by when you are in Dunsmuir to say hi. Also, for the time being, former owner Bob Grace will remain behind the counter.
