Salmon: Quite a few late Fall salmon are being caught with good fishing from Balls Ferry downstream towards Chico. A few late Fall salmon have been landed in the 30-40 pound class this past week with reports of salmon being caught on sardine wrapped K-15 & K-16 Kwikfish lures in various color combos. Backbouncing has been best bet with good fishing most of the day. All salmon being caught are new chrome bright king salmon averaging 12-20 pounds. Salmon in the 40-50 plus pound class are a real possibility this time of year on this river. Salmon season will continue through mid January.

Trout: Fishing from Redding downstream towards Red Bluff has slowed a bit this week for wild rainbow trout 1 to 2 pounds with larger wild rainbows to 3 pounds occasionally boated. Multiple hook-ups are common with 25-30 rainbows boated per outing being the average for anglers at the right places on the river at the right time. Best bets have been side drifted small hand tied Glo Bugs in various egg color patterns.

Steelhead: Some hatchery and wild Steelhead have been caught with most averaging 2-4 pounds with larger Steelhead 5 pounds or better. Redding to Anderson has been good for trout and Anderson downstream has been better for trout and Steelhead. More and more Steelhead should show everyday through November.
