The team at Wild Waters has been busy. Last week we’ve had some windy days with a substantial temperature drop, but still had some great trips. Most of our days are spent on the Upper and Lower Sacramento and the McCloud River. On the McCloud we have been mainly throwing dry flies. Mid-day yellow sallies and pmd’s are making the bite last throughout the day. Once the big goldens start dropping down from the trees around 5 pm the big rainbows turn to them and throwing the big bug can make for some awesome grabs. The Upper Sac is also fishing well with dry flies. Golden Stones everywhere!!  Take a look at some great photos from last week. We so appreciate all the business and look forward to taking you fishing soon.

Golden-stoneflies everywhere!!!

•The Lower Sacramento = Very Good. Fishing has remained good despite heat and windy days and a drift is highly recommended.

•The Trinity River = Good, flows back down to 700.

•The Upper Sacramento River =Good. Water is very low and already warming. Fishing is good but tread lightly.

•The McCloud River =Excellent. Some great dry fly fishing and shallow nymphing. We have been seeing plenty of golden stones, yellow sallies, pmds, and a few green drakes and salmonflies.

•The Klamath River =Good. The Salmonfly hatch is in full swing. Drift Boat trip up top is your best option.

• The Pit River = Good. Remains good fishing at higher flows. Pit 3,4&5 producing nice fish in the tough to access areas.

• Hat Creek = Just OK. Some tough days.

• The Fall River = Good, Hex are showing up, wind has made things tough but the hatches are good and the bite on when it subsides.

•The Rogue River =Very Good. Fishing the Holy Water and the Shady Cove stretches has been great. The Salmonflys are out. Sea-run cutthroat and steelhead.

•The Wood River = Just OK. Never seen it so low.

•Bass Ponds and Lakes= Great popper action, with a good chance at a hex hatch at dark when its not windy.
