Last few weeks I’ve been on the river. Sick with Steelhead fever. No matter how many I farmed, caught, or photographed I still couldn’t shake the virus. Now recent rains have brought the end of the season. This fish, a highlight, ate a swung fly just after dawn.
We fished the Lower Sac down by Anderson. Skylers getting good. We’ve been sticking em’. Did I mention Skyler took the oars and put me on some fish. Including a nice steelhead that I farmed. Let my guide down….
Another awesome weekend on the McCloud river! A great group, nice weather, fun fishing and beautiful smiles.
Numbers, numbers, numbers but no big ones. The big ones fed all night during the bright full moon thus the smaller fish took over the feeding lanes today. That’s my guess at least. Still we caught a bunch of fish on dries.
September is a great time to fish the Lower Sac, Patsy was on her hook set and landed her biggest rainbow yet. Switching between small beatis patterns and hydrophsyche caddis, we were into them most of the day.
Started the day on the Upper Sac catching some big migratory lake fish, had lunch at the great Dunsmuir Brewery, and finished off on the McCloud rainbows. What a damn fine way to spend a day.
Jim Roberts joined Chuck and John for a fun outing on the Lower Sac. The big bows are caught this time of year on the hydropsyche caddis. September Tradition!
Cal Trout showing their appreciation to Randy, his family and friends for being proud supporters. Wild Waters is so lucky to be a part of this great trip guiding with the legendary Craig Ballenger at the famous Trout Camp on the Upper Sac.
A big group of fisherman hit the Lower Sac. 6 boats on our trip. Fun was had by all. Before today, Ed and Sean had no fish on a fly to tell about. Open this and check out there first day of fly fishing with a guide.
Fishing was very similar to the trip before. A couple of big fish got away that I think Scott would have loved to put in the net. These very impressive Rainbow Trout are what keeps us coming back to this river.
