Trout fishing near Redding was very good this past week for wild rainbow trout with many large rainbows to 4 pounds being caught. Multiple hook-ups were common with many double hook-ups side-drifting Glo Bugs. 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 trout averaged 1-3 pounds with the occasional large bow 4-5 pounds. 20 hook-ups are average with better scores of 30 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 have also gotten into some nice rainbows. The 2007 Salmon season opens on July 16th. Salmon counts are up from last year to 1,899 salmon passing through the Red Bluff diversion dam. Daily limits are two salmon per angler per day. Professional guide service will be guiding salmon trips July through December 2007.
