Dave Jacobs/Hank Mautz (Professional Guide Service) (800-355-3113):

Rainbows: With river releases on the rise, this past week offered some very good wild rainbow fishing for anglers from either a drift boat or jet boat. Side drifting small hand tied Glo Bugs in various egg color patterns proved best early in the mornings. Natural cured roe tipped with a Quickie puffball also scored some great fishing for wild rainbows. Most averaged 1-3 pounds with the occasional large rainbow 4-5 pounds. 25 hook-ups are average with better scores of 40 plus hook-ups possible on good days. Redding to Red Bluff has been most productive water. Angler's back trolling small Hot Shot No. 50's in various color combos has also been a good bet.

Shad: Fishing is starting in the upper reaches near Chico, and should improve with the recent water rise. Side drifting small jigs with small curly tailed grubs is best. Fishing will continue to build now through June, up river towards Red Bluff.
