Current Reservoir Conditions:
It can be busy on the Lower Sacramento at this time of year. Keswick Reservoir can provide the solitude and fly fishing you hoped for. We recommend hiring an experience guide to get the best out of your Keswick experience.
Keswick Reservoir is a "stabilization area" below Shasta Dam. The upper part of this reservoir flows like a river. The lower section before it empties into what we know as the Lower Sacramento River is smooth, slow water. Rainbow and brown trout hold in the upper section and bass can be found in the lower section.
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.
Flies:
Dries:
• Elk Hair Caddis Tan #10-16
• Yellow Stimulator #14-16
Nymphs/Wet Flies:
• Chironomid Bomber (Any)
• Marlee Midge
• Brown Micro Mayfly #16
