Keswick Reservoir Fish Report for 6-26-2013
River flows have been stable this week & fishing on Keswick has been better.
Keswick Reservoir - Redding, CA (Shasta County)
by The Fly Shop
6-26-2013
Website
Current Reservoir Conditions: Best action happens mid day. Hatches of caddis, PMD's and a few yellow sallies sum up the most noticeable hatches. These rainbows always eat Midge Patterns as big as #14 or as small as #20. Uncrowded and remote best describes the fishing on Keswick this week.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Suspending Bird's Nests, midge patterns and Pseudo Mays under indicators will work well. For the springtime caddis, try a #14-16 Amber Wing Prince or Sylvie's Pupa in black. Suspended your nymphs under an indicator. Use BB shot to sink your nymphs when fishing the edges of the swirly water found in the upper reservoir. 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 Fishing a Deep-7 on a 7-weight fly rod, stripping buggers has been productive..
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.
