Keswick Reservoir Fish Report for 8-1-2012
Late July through August is prime time on Keswick Reservoir!
Keswick Reservoir - Redding, CA (Shasta County)
by The Fly Shop
8-1-2012
Website
Current Reservoir Conditions: You can find rainbows here ranging from 14"-22". The fishing has been good all day. Fish the edges of the slow swirls.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips: Suspending Fox's Poopahs under indicators will work well. Try a Marlee Midge or a #12-14 Bird's Nest suspended under an indicator. Look for the fish in the slower swirls along the edges above Crystal Creek. The key is moving up into the moving water section of Keswick. Fishing the eddies next to the banks, between boulders, where it's shallow can be productive. Stay low.
A motorized boat is a must for gaining access to the part of this reservoir that holds concentrated numbers of rainbow trout. Motor up towards Shasta Dam, look for slow water and big eddies near boulders. Swing, suspend, strip nymphs, leeches. Dry fly fishing happens late in the summer, near sunset. There are big brown trout here....waiting.
