Feel Good March

Upper Sacramento River Report

The river remains in excellent shape for winter and early spring fishing. The storm last night and this morning brought the river up to 550cfs and is currently dropping slowly. The river was getting a bit stale and clear due to the lack of rain but last night was just the thing we needed. The fishing remains great for big fish and we have had outstanding days with our clients. The large fish are still on the prowl and are eager to play over the entire river from Ney down to Dog Creek. The days will be extended now with daylight savings time but the mornings are still chiily so not necessary to get out there at the crack of. With the warming days I am seeing more and more bugs so make sure you have nymphs that represent Mayflies, Caddis, BWO’s and Stones. Unlike last season the river should remain in excellent shape for the next few months so don’t hesitate, get on it now. We have some excellent USac guides available for those who are looking for a fun day and a valuable tip or two.

Area Steelhead Report

Our guides have been roaming near and far for steelhead over the last few weeks and have been finding success with these elusive beast. There’s still about a month to go so if interested in feeling the tug of one of these guys give us a shout, we have excellent guides who are covering all rivers from the Klamath and Smith in California up through southern Oregon as far as the Umpqua.

Testimonials

“I am extremely picky about who I hire as a guide. I have hired many, and have only returned to one company over and over again – Wild Waters Fly Fishing.

Thanks to them, I feel comfortable fishing the McCloud on my own, confident that I will choose the right flies and find the feeding lanes. I feel safe with them. And I am a stronger fisher as a result of their teaching and patience. They focus on what the client wants out of the trip…very client focused.

I have learned incredible casting tricks for catching steelhead to get a perfect drift which makes even the pickiest fish bite.

I am a regular customer and would not go with any other company. Believe me, I researched guides for a while before I went with them years ago. I have been a regular customer ever since.

Regards, Happy Female Client”

“Fishing with John at Wild Waters is always a great experience. This trip focused on a day on the McCloud where John’s experience really paid off because he knew where all the big browns were hiding. The next day was all about Stealhead, floating the Klamath. Great fun and some nice fish. The last day was spent on some secret holes on the Upper Sacramento. Not only is John knowledgeable,(think fish whisperer), but he is patient and fun to spend long days on the water with. I highly endorse Wild Waters Fly Fishing Guide Services. I wouldn’t fish the Mt Shasta area without them.”

“Wild Waters offers an emmersion into the world of NorCal flyfishing that doesn’t come around very often. They not only were incredible teachers of technigue and fly selection, they were true sportsman with a depth of knowledge of the McCloud, the Klamath, and many other California rivers. They took me into a remote part of the McCloud that was tricky to hike into and wade through (an area that I would not be able to access on my own bc I’m an above the knee amputee), and they made it an experience of a lifetime standing side by side me through fast rapids, and sneaking up on boulders to scout good holes, and tweaking my casting technigue just enough to land dozens of rainbows. I will never fish with anyone else again in NorCal. I’m hooked on Wild Waters for the long term!”

“John and Chuck are incredible guides. Aside from being great guys, they couldn’t have been any more helpful as they took us from beginners to catching fish in a matter of minutes, with tips to remember for next time.”

“I’ve fished with the guys at Wild Waters a few times now (I think I’ve fished will all but one of their guides), and they have impressed me more and more each time. They know the water incredibly well, and it even feels like the know the individual fish sometimes. Plus they’re fun guys to fish with, and you can’t underestimate the value of that. Recommended without reservation.”
