FEATHER RIVER, CALIF: Dave Jacobs/Hank Mautz (Professional Guide Service) (800-355-3113): Fishing for spring salmon has continued to produce quality salmon this past week with best action early in the morning in and around the Outlet. Flows continue to be very low from Oroville to Gridley making salmon fishing a bit tougher. Angler's casting large No. 6 Blue Fox spinners from the bank around the outlet have caught some nice springers to 40 pounds. Most fish have averaged 12-25 pounds.

HINKSON SLOUGH, NEV (on the Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area): Elmer Bull reported: Saturday afternoon, there was only one fisherman. I think that all of the high school graduations kept everyone at home for the weekend.

JUNE LAKE LOOP, CALIF: Steven Osterman: Current flow in Rush Creek is 50 CFS. Try Pheasant Tail Nymphs, flash back Hares Ears and black ants. The section of stream below U.S. 395 to Mono Lake providing some good dry fly opportunities with Royal Wullf's Sierra Brite Dot's and Elk Hair Caddis. Silver Lake have been the best bet for float tubers. Black Mohair Leeches, olive Matukas and Zonkers. Fish along the ledge parallel to the main road on the west side.

PYRAMID LAKE, NEV: George and Carla Molino of the Pyramid Lake Store at (775) 476-0555: Boats are doing well on the north end or over on the east shore. The shore fishing has been slow unless fishing in deeper water. Nothing super big being caught.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF: Dave Jacobs/Hank Mautz (Professional Guide Service) (800-355-3113):

Rainbows: Trout fishing near Redding was very good this past week for wild rainbow trout. Multiple hook-ups were common with many double, even triple 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 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.

Shad: Fishing is starting to build in the upper reaches of the river from Red Bluff to Chico with better fishing downstream near Chico.

Side drifting small 1/16 to 1/32 ounce jigs with small one inch curly tailed grubs have been best.

LAKE TAHOE - North Shore:

Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): We've been trolling at 50-240 feet deep. We locate the fish on the fish finder and then troll in a "Figure Eight" pattern, bouncing the bottom at Cal-Neva, Dollar Point and Sugar Pine Points. On Tuesday, a lady from Illinois caught and released a 34-inch Mack.

LAKE TAHOE - South Shore: Gene St. Denis: Fishing has been good early in the mornings. I've been fishing 50-200 feet deep at Ski Run Shelf. Trolling with silver Herring Dodger flasher blades and minnows. Bouncing off the bottom in a serpentine pattern.

LAKE TAHOE - East Shore: Gene St. Denis: Cave Rock landing is dead for fishing, right now.

TOPAZ LAKE: Chuck and Linda Fields at the Topaz Lake Marina (775-266-3550): Not a lot going on, even with Free Fishing Days. I think it probably had to do with the Carson Valley Days celebration. Hardly anyone was fishing.

The few fishermen that were here were catching some from shore at the south end, but nothing big (about 1 pound).

TOPAZ LAKE: George LaMonica and Debbie Nedd of Douglas County fished the southwest end, near the "Icy" sign, on Saturday with worms and Power Bait. George caught a 2-pounder.

West Walker: Is running about 330 CFS, it is chilly and fishing is OK.

WALKER RIVERS, CALIF:

East Walker: Steve Osterman reported: The flow is currently 123 CFS. The lower water flow means fewer good spots to fish and competition is high. Prince Nymphs, WD-40's, flashback Pheasant Tails, sparkle Caddis Pupa, Stimulators and Caddis.

WILDHORSE RESERVOIR, NEV: Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: Fishing has been super good for trout, perch and channel catfish. Gold lures with perch-colored spots are good, nightcrawlers are hot (jig it a little as you retrieve). We will have a pork rib barbecue on July 4th.
