Fishing has been great recently for 8-14" Redband Trout. Water levels are dropping daily and temperatures are increasing. Casting lures and flies will be productive. Try fishing in hard to reach spots and remember to avoid the private property along the river. This is a great place to camp and take the family fishing this summer. Be mindful of high water temperatures and commit to good catch and release techniques to protect Redband Trout.
