Lodging Options when fishing the Upper Sacramento River

The most distant access points (Upper Ney Springs and Cantara Loop) on the Upper Sacramento are about 50 minutes from The Fly Shop in Redding, and the great fishing in the popular sections above Lake Shasta are only a half an hour away. This makes Redding a great place to stay within easy striking distance of every inch of the 40 fishable river miles of the Upper Sacramento.

The headwaters of the Upper Sac are minutes from the town of Mount Shasta, and the river runs right through the middle of Dunsmuir, making either town another good option to stay when fishing this remarkable freestone stream.

There are also some great RV sites and campgrounds, both on the Upper Sacramento River and in Redding.
