Fishing conditions:  Great

Report: The creek is at a good flow and fishing great! There are a ton of fish on the ranch right now, the winter run Chinook are pooling up getting ready to spawn and there are a ton of rainbows from the river right behind them. These fish aren't picky, black Rubberlegs and a Dark Lord will keep you bent all day for now. We have a lot of availability in this great wild rainbow trout fishery. To reserve a a day on the finest wild trout water in the north state this spring call Bryan in Outfitters at (530)222-3555.
