Current River Conditions: Sunny skies and warm temperatures in the coming days won't hurt the great fly fishing happening on the Lower Sacramento this week. Insect hatches have been sparse but that hasn't stopped the rainbows from eating #14 Prince Nymphs, #6 Pat's Rubber Legs, #14-16 Dark Lords. Alevin patterns are working too!
Expect productive insect hatches by the end of the month. What kind of insects you ask? Well, Dark Springtime Caddis, March Browns, PMDs and BWOs.
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".
