The Fly Shop
Current Reservoir Conditions:
Fishing #12 Birds Nests and #12 Marlee Midges are producing some good fishing for anglers willing to make the journey into this remote piece of water right in Redding, Ca.
Flows out of Shasta have been stable and that creates good fishing conditions. Keswick is a perfect destination for a guided fishing experience. The rainbow trout here hold in the swirly water near Shasta Dam. Suspending Bird's Nests, Midges and stripping leeches is how we fish this reservoir. Hot weather really seems to get these fish on the bite. The fishing should be good! This reservoir is a sleeper of a fishery. Because access is time consuming and remote, pressure is light and the fishing can be fantastic.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
A motorized boat is a must for gaining access to the part of this reservoir that holds concentrated numbers of rainbow trout. Look for slow water, near boulders. Swing, suspend, strip nymphs, leeches. Dry fly fishing happens late in the summer, near sunset.

• Elk Hair Caddis Tan #10-16
• Yellow Stimulator #14-16
