Fishing should still be good for redband trout in the 8- to 16-inch range. Fishing with hoppers at this time of year is a lot of fun. Casting dry flies in the morning and evening while fishing throughout the water column mid-day are productive tactics. Lures will also catch fish if retrieved correctly. Plan for fishing to be a tad slow as redband populations are lower right now due to drought and recent wildfires.
Tributaries to the Chewaucan River are also great opportunities to catch both redband and brook trout. Target larger streams that are easier to cast in.
