Redding Fly Fishing Guide

Archive for September, 2009

I spent time with Muriel, Robert & Charles Angle on the Upper Sacramento River Fly Fishing for beautiful rainbow trout. This was their 2nd fly fishing experience and everyone “hooked-up” with some the Upper Sac local residents

Charles and I worked this stretch and managed to land several fish on an assortment of flies: #12 Possie Bugger, #14 Prince Nymph & #20 glass bead micro may fly. I’m more convinced the right presentation is more important than the correct fly. Additionally, the harmony between to the right fly (guide) and right presentation (angler/client) is what I call MoJoBella.

Fished Sun Dial Bridge to Aqua Golf last night.  Fish were rising for Caddis.  Amber princes and tan poopah were the ticket.  Flows dropped below 6k CFS today.  Landed 6 fish with about 10 hook ups for 2 hours.  Rainbows were up to 19 inches.  No boats… nice change

What a setting!!!  Right in the town of Redding, CA

La Moine

Fished from City Park in Dunsmuir to Contant over the weekend. 15 hook ups over 3 hours. Possie Buggers #12, Micro May Fly Olive #18, Flash Back Pheasant Tail #16 all seemed to catch fish. When fishing deep pools use more weight.
