Lower Sacramento River Fishing Report 08.07.12
The trout fishing near Redding remains good, but the flows are extremely high on the river upstream of Red Bluff making the fishing a bit difficult. We have been throwing spoons, trolling minnow type lures, drifting plugs, and swinging flies. The fish have been scattered, but they are holding to the deep holes and feeding along the edges of the large riffles & near structure. The water temperatures have been very cool upstream (52-56 degrees).
