FISHING REPORT
Updated - 9/19/20

Current Conditions: Water levels are stable, clear and in good condition

Fishing remains very good: The Fly Shop in Redding reports "the lake was closed temporarily and is open again. Sinking lines with Wooly Buggers and ZT's Balanced Swimming Leeches are a great choice to get some big fish. Small nymphs under a dry dropper is the best way to get a high number of fish without scaring the trout in there. Go to dry's are the Parachute Adams, Mercers Missing Link, and Griffith's Gnat. As a dropper put on a small pheasant tail or zebra midge."
