Fish Report for 3-5-2024

This spring is looking to be epic

3-5-2024
The Fly Shop

This weekend the Fall River Valley received some snow along with the rain. With Spring right around the corner, we'll be keeping an eye on the Fall so provide some updates to you. Right now the Rainbows are up in the tributaries spawning, this last season saw a bunch of fish in the 12" range and these fish will be significantly larger. This spring is looking to be epic, we can't wait for April! If you would like to reserve a day with a guide this spring for some great dry fly fishing on California's finest spring creek, give Bryan or Chris a call in Outfitters at (530)222-3555. '

Hot Flies:

• Pheasant Tails
