We are continuing to fish on the McCloud river, Upper Sac and Lower Sac.  In general the fishing has been fair to good.  We are seeing fish eat dry flies on the upper rivers and we only expect the hatches to grow each day.  The Lower Sac continues to be a strong hold of good fishing.  With all the trout streams open in California we have also been spending time on some lesser know waters.  The best trout fishing of the year is just around the corner.  Be ready!

A visit to the McCloud River Preserve and what do you know, beautiful rainbows eating dry flies.  Love it!

This nice brown was right were he was supposed to be.  Same place his brother lived last year.

Mash Potatoes pauses, just for a second, as I snap a shot of John wading into the middle of a rapid.

Due to winter flooding the rivers have changed a bit.  This dry fly slick looks as sweet as ever.

Even in Mt. Shasta we find a way to spend a morning at “the beach”

With a little success on the dry fly

Catching John, hard at work, catching fish.

A short walk into wilderness fly fishing.  Shasta Trinity National Forest

On the McCloud river.  Where we believe in magic.

Wade the river, make short casts, catch some fish.

McCloud Reservoir (rainbow trout factory) looking as beautiful as ever.

A few fish show their faces in the foam line.  In the foam line a few fisherman show their flies.
