Opening Weekend 2012

Trout Season is open and the McCloud River welcomed us with some great fishing.  It was really cool to be back out on the river that we love so much.  This annual outing is something we look forward to every year.  Thanks so much for having us guys!!!

The weather man said it would rain. I’ve been wet everyday for a week but today was beautiful blue skies and fresh snow on the peaks. Sunscreen and steelhead.

Steelhead fishing in Southern Oregon has been pretty fun this last week, with fowl weather and high flows bringing in some fish. It hasn’t been easy by any means but we have been finding them. Check out this great collection of photos from the week.

All we needed was a little rain in Southern Oregon to spark off some great steelhead fishing. With some proper planning and placement we were right where we needed to be for the push. Check out these photos of an epic day.

We drove home through torrential rain, howling winds and an ominous blizzard. The rivers are low and in need of this weather but we are glad we had the day before it came. We are not done with the steelhead yet! I am so looking forward to the next month of fishing!!!!

If I’m cold then I know my clients are freezing, but we toughed it out and had a fun day of fishing. David and Patsy are true Wild Waters regulars, clients turned friends.

Here in Northern California we are in serious need of some snow pack, rain, heck a thick fog would help. I do feel guilty enjoying the warm weather. February has been full of March-browns, little black stones, steelhead and sunscreen. Click for some great photos.
