Upper Sacramento River Fishing Report

Fishing conditions:  Poor

Report: Flows at the lake continue to be high with over 2,000 CFS showing on the Delta gage. The upper river will be lower and colder, so probably easier wading. Bring the usual patterns for the Upper, Rubberlegs, Zebra Midges, some BP Weiss nymphs and fish them under a dry. On sunny days you can possibly get a hatch, so a well-stocked dry box would be a shame to leave at home. We'd recommend fishing Hat Creek or the McCloud at Ash Camp for now.
