The Intermountain region continues to produce numerous trout for the avid angler.

On the Fall River, the Hex hatch is slowing down though there are still episodes of big beautiful rainbows gobbling up Hexagenia Limbata Mayflies after sunset. This annual hatch is something special to experience.

The Intermountain region has been on fire lately!

On the Fall River, the Hex hatch is in full swing with big beautiful rainbows gobbling up Hexagenia Limbata Mayflies each evening. Fishing at sunset with Mt. Shasta in the background is a sight to behold.

During the day, nymphing with Copper Johns and Midges or presenting PMD’s and a variety of sized Parachute Adams to rising fish has been...

The weather has been very sporadic in June here in Nor Cal. Mt. Shasta got a beautiful blanket of fresh snow a few nights ago. It makes for beautiful sunsets on Fall River as you await the hex hatch, which I have been fishing most nights since it started in late May. Some of the windy and cooler nights this past week kept the hatch from happening, but overall its...

Technically it is still spring. Summer is 5 days away and the weather this week feels more like March than late June. When it could easily be 102 in Redding today, the high is expected to only reach 70… what wha????

The fishing on the Lower Sacramento from downtown Redding to Anderson continues to be ridiculously spectacular! We are consistently amazed by the health...

Hat Creek

Isn’t quite on fire anymore, but still fishing well. Trending more towards the normal fishing…tricos spinner fall in the a.m., nymphing through the middle of the day with small mayfly patterns like Hogans S&M, and micro mays. Evenings are great, lots of mayflies popping as well as Yellow sallies in the fast water.

Pit River

Pit one is...

Green light… Go! That is my advice. Many of our mountain freestone and tailwaterish rivers here in Northern California are shaping up nicely. And, the two big spring creeks of the area are also fishing well. I would highly suggest you plan a fly fishing trip soon to hit either the McCloud, Upper Sac, Pit River, Hat Creek or Fall River… or all 5 if you can swing it....

Hat Creek

Has continued to fish well, some really nice fish being caught. The spinner fall has been epic up in the fast water, and evening hatches have been great. Small dark mayfly patterns have been working well under the indo. Warmer weather this next week should make some bugs pop!

Fall River

Still fishing a bit slow, weeds are still sparse. However there is...

Tout opener in the Burney-Fall River Mills area was a success. Lots of water and lots of very hungry trouts.

I tried to shake it up a little and fished some areas with less pressure, and it paid off. We fished a little lake on opener which was full of gorgeous wild Browns. My point is that there is an insane amount of water in our area, so do a...

Trout opener is Saturday, and the Burney-Fall River Mills Intermountain area has lots of water.

All of our waters are full and cold, and some restoration projects have us pretty excited. Cal Trout is almost finished with a project on Hat Creek. We are looking forward to see how it improves fishing. For more info check out Cal Trout website.
