Fish Report for 1-22-2013
The steelhead are running in the Lower Sac
1-22-2013
The Fly Shop
Current River Conditions: River conditions are good. Water color is almost "steelhead" green between Anderson and Redding. Fishing has been good! Anglers reporting in with great results are fishing Alevin patterns, eggs, rubber legs, amber wing princes and even Micro Mays! Shrimp Pink Bazookas and micro spawns are a couple egg patterns turning on the fish.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Fish deep! Your leader's length should be between 7.5 - 8.5' to the split shot. Use an SSG to get down fast.
When it comes to trout fishing on the Lower Sacramento around Redding, CA., nymphing is by far the most productive fly fishing method. We fish deep on this river. Although a tapered leader will work when nymphing this river, we recommend constructing your leader out of 2X, 3X and 4X tippet or level fluorocarbon. Basically, tie in your 2X tippet at the indicator and pull off about 7.5-8.5 feet. Now grab your 3X and tie it in using a double surgeon knot to a length of 18"-24". Go ahead and tie in your first fly. The second fly drops off of the hook bend of the first fly. Use your 4X tippet to tie in the second, smaller fly. We like to use "BIG" 1 1/4" indicators. SSG split shot also known as "Goose Shot" (ask Cory) will get the flies down to the fish. If you are wading the river and not in a drift boat, add another AAA or even a second SSG to your rig. The sooner the flies get to the bottom of the river, the more time you spend "fishing".
