There’s a reason FlyFest is happening in Redding.

With the Sacramento River running right through the city and exceptional trout water throughout the region, Redding is a destination built for anglers—and an ideal home for FlyFest 2026.

We’re grateful for the support of Visit Redding and the Redding Sports Commission in welcoming the fly-fishing community to Northern California this September.

Come for FlyFest. Make a weekend of it. Explore the water, trails, restaurants and outdoor experiences that make Redding worth the trip.
