The Sacramento Rivere thru Redding, CA to Red Bluff, CA, continues to fish well with Egg Patterns. We got some rain the river is running with about 6 Feet visibility due to Shasta Lake water visibility. Using Nymphs, Caddis, BWO, PMD’s, are all working.

The Sacramento River is fishing good, the best bite seems to be on the top part of the float. We should have an egg bite starting in the next two weeks, that’s when it starts fishing the best and it turns on. The Caddis seems to be the best, with a few PMD’s and BWO’s.

- Trinity Salmon Fishing (Update)
I’ll talk about the Trinity River first, the Salmon are coming up the Trinity, we been having some good days. The flows are running 2400 C.F.S. and will be dropping to 950 C.F.S. by Friday, August 29, and will be on a raise lower short notice until September 14, 2014 to prevent a Salmon Kill in the Lower Klamath River. There should be a nice run of fish that will be there for the September 1, 2014, three fish per day with a total of 9 Adult Salmon possession limit. I also believe that this will push some Steelhead up, and things should get started Steelhead wise in September.

- Sacramento River Fly Fishing (Update)
As you can see by the nice Rainbow Trout that Lindsey caught, ( she is a stand-out fast pitch softball player from Washington), there is some nice Bows in the lower Sacramento River to be had. With the Salmon coming up, I think the Spawn is going to start by the second to third week of September, 2014, Caddis, Mayfiles and eggs are all working with the average Rainbow Trout 14 to 18 inches. We got a Rainbow last week that was 25 inches football, we guessed the weight to be in the 6lb class. I hope to see you on the water, and Tight Lines!

The Sacramento River is fishing moderate to good, the fish are taking eggs, Summer Caddis, PMD’s, and Baetis. The average fish is 16 inches with some fish over 20 inches, the dries we are getting about a half hour and sometimes up to an hour of intense dry fly activity. The Rainbow Trout are eating best when the Summer Caddis come out in the evening. The weather has been pretty mild the last two days, it’s a perfect time out on the water.

The current release to the Sacramento River is 9,500 C.F.S. Last year at this time it was over 12,000 C.F.S., we may not see the high flows that we saw last year, which topped out at 15,600 C.F.S. The River is fishing well, with Summer Caddis, Yellow Stones, PMD’s, and Blue Wing Olive Mayflies. We have been running Indicators during the day, and the last hour throwing Caddis Dries. Right now we are on a cool spell in Redding with Temperatures in the upper 80’s and low 90’s.

Sacramento River is Fly Fishing well. We are catching our fish on Summer Caddis (Hydropsych), egg patterns and Mayflys,(Pale Morning Dun Baetis). Bite seems to be pretty strong in the morning and through the afternoon, tapering off between 3pm and 4pm. We are using a nymphing system with a strike indicator. Flows are going up and will probalbly plateau sometime in June. This drought year the flows are slow which is good to allow fish to acclimate quickly. The Spring temperatures are wonderful hovering around the 80s and it’s a great time to get on the water and fish.
