I fished up in Redding today with regular guests Steve and Rick from the Bay Area.  The fishing in the morning was amazingly good!  We fished egg patterns in the salmon redds all morning and connected with many fish in the 18-21" range.  The fish were in great condition and many were in the three pound range.  The big fish really come out this time of year - about a dozen of the fish we caught today would easily be the big fish of the day any other time of year!  There are respectable numbers of king salmon spawning and there is also a really good caddis and baetis hatch going on.  We caught a couple fish on nymphs in the afternoon, but today the fish were pretty focused on eating salmon eggs.
