The McCloud river is running with a little less color every day.  We are seeing very few hatching bugs (some) but fish still seam eager to eat in summer holding water.  The upper sac  is still low and clear but cold nights in Mt. Shasta have been helping the water temps stay down.  We eagerly await the large numbers of fish coming up the Klamath and Trinity rivers but patience is still in order for our sections of the river.  Guided steelhead trips officially start next week for us but the scouting has been fun.   As we approach the fall the Wild Waters calendar is filling up fast as just about every river we know turns on in its own way.  We hope to see you out there.

My little buddy… He hung out under my hood for most of the morning.  Poor guy was cold!

Lindsay making it happen with the dry and the dropper.  Perfect form!

Gotta learn how to take the hook out….

A quick hike up a creek.  Sometimes this is a great summertime idea.

So creepy!
Find a way to catch one on the dry

A quick stop on the way home along McCloud Reservoir and no need to go to the store.

The McCloud River Preserve, so beautiful down here.

Who needs wading boots?
