McCloud Hall of Fame

One of the biggest browns we have ever seen, every cast these monsters should be in the back of your mind. A big fish on the McCloud is 16 inches but this was almost twice as long. Continue Reading →

Never give up. Always keep trying, some days its easy some days its hard, but its always rewarding. The north state is muddy everywhere I look. I’m not sure when things will clear up but when they do, I will let you all know. For those of you who NEED to fish; I can still get you into a few nice ones like this caught in off color waters.

Here is Kevin on a Klamath river trip for http://www.ultimatehuntingandfishing.com

Though we farmed a lot of fish, it was good fishing.

Categories: Fishing Report

As most of the Northern California rivers rage with high off color flows the Klamath below Iron Gate stays fishable. There are some big fish to be caught. If your wishing you were fishing come on up.

Blue skies shining on me, nothing but blue skies do I see.
I love having a client list that I can call last minute and have them take advantage of some good fishing and a blue sky forecast. Winter is a tough time for fishing guides, the weather can blow out rivers, be too cold to tie knots and only few clients are brave enough to fish all day in the cold, wet weather we steelheaders cherish. This father son duo had a great day and cant wait to come back. Plan your winter trip today. Continue Reading →

These fish are feeling the pain of the egg bite. This fish had injured lips from a previous battle. The fishing is insane but we have an obligation to these critters. Poor fellows just cant help themselves when salmon are dropping eggs. Take extra caution to limit the damage we do in our silly game. Continue Reading →

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.”
