Fishing Report-Fair: The Fly ShopShop in Redding https://www.theflyshop.com reports "The warming weather has the bugs coming off more regularly now and some early stoneflies are coming off, although the main hatch is a month off. Some fish will take Rubberlegs in the Powerhouse riffle, some early PMDs are coming off as well. In the flats there are still some good Baetis hatches, and Caddis in the section below the 299 bridge. The next warm storm could have the Green Drakes popping. Bring your S&Ms in #16 and brown Rubberlegs in #8 & 6 and fish them under a small indicator or Chubby Chernobyl. This is a spring creek, a full box of Adams in #12 - 18 and dark Missing Links in #14 - 16 should have you covered for any noses poking up."

Great patterns for fishing down deep are #18 Red Copper John's, #18 bead head flashback Pheasant Tails, #18 Micro Mayflies, #4 Black Rubber Legs, #14 Olive Birdsnests, #12 Poxy Stones.  For dries: #20 Trico Spinners, #16 Rusty Spinners, Quigly Hackle Stacker (or similar), Tent Wing Caddis, Little Yellow Sally (EH Caddis style).
