Best fishing is from 2pm till 4pm. Fish march browns, skwala stoneflies, caddis pupa, and small BWOs under an indicator. Dry fly fishing on warm sunny days can be good with adult skwala stoneflies fished along the bank when the adults are laying eggs on the water and with march brown and caddis patterns late afternoon and evening. Swinging march brown nymphs or caddis pupa is also catching a few rainbows. Access at Hallwood, Hwy 20 bridge, Sycamore Ranch, or Hammond Grove.
Fishing pressure is heavy on the weekends above and below the bridge.
Applicants should be computer literate and knowledgeable of flyfishing in Northern California. Strong hatches of Skwala stoneflies, march brown mayflies, BWOs and caddis keep the fish actively feeding throughout the winter and spring. This year's low water has created great wading opportunities and a chance to fish many stretches of the river that are normally inaccessible. Floating the river in a pontoon boat is the perfect way to access the lower uncrowded stretches of river, fish the best runs and riffles on either side of the river, and avoid a long tortuous walk in and back out.
