www.flyfishersparadise.com/learning-center/to-fish-or-not-to-fishwww.orvis.com/news/fly-fishing/tuesda-tip-spring-fishing-is-great-but-dont-tread-on-redds/Just a reminder, when you see fish on redds, try to avoid spooking them and move on to deeper waters. I know its tempting to go after big fish in plain sight, but please let them spawn in peace. If you come across anglers fishing redds, politely inform them that these fish are spawning and should not be targeted. You will be helping to ensure that we have plenty of healthy wild fish for years to come. And if you love dry fly fishing as much as I do, you really want as many wild fish in the river system as you can get. Thanks guys, best of luck on the water. I hope to see and meet a bunch of you on the river this winter. T.A. Stockton

Thanks, TA. I am new to fishing trout and need to be aware of the spawn. I didn't realize they spawn in the shallow riffles. I'll be on the lookout for Redds as I fish the river.

Thanks for the info TA. Everyone, keep passing this info while on the water. If you like the wild bows in the river, and want them to continue, please keep this in mind. TA is absolutely right on that!

Here is a redd with a very large brown trout on it. Be mindful where you cross the river and stay away from fish on the beds.

Great picture Peter - helpful to know what to look out for. Keep the polarized sunglasses on and watch your step

I know that rootball/brushpile well, that is where my rainbow wrapped me up. Keep in mind - even if a redd has no fish on or near it, there may very well be eggs in it. Avoid them at all costs. This same redd could have several deposits in it.
