Hey, everyone, Zach here with active NorCal and I made the short drive from red in California today to a beautiful tributary here in Northern
California. We are at Hatton Creek and we're going to go try to catch some wild trout
Follow along if
Redding is known as California's fly fishing. Mecca Hat Creek is the river that will keep that legacy alive originating
in the aquifers below Lassen peak, the water of Hat Creek zigzags through volcanic country before becoming an iconic fishing stream near
Castle California. While most rivers in northern California use hatchery fish to keep habitats healthy
Pat Creek became the first river to naturally do it with the help of the Pitt River tribe
Pat Creek was completely restored using natural tactics and a legendary fishing destination was born
The best bet is to fish the powerhouse riffle which is reasonably deep and the easiest way to find fish bait is prohibited on this
stretch of water. Meaning anglers may fish with lures as long as the hooks are Deb barbed
What's really cool about this place is you can see the fish from the water
It's pretty shallow. That doesn't mean they're easy to catch. They're actually much easier by this riffle here by the powerhouse
But when you go downstream, it's really hard, but everyone loves the challenge
All right. That does it for our fishing adventure here at Hat Creek
just east of Redding. This country is so beautiful. There's so many rivers around here
There's a ton of fish to catch. It's just an amazing adventure for the whole family
