The McCloud continues to fish very well with anglers reporting some days with topwater Caddis action. Even though that hatch on the upper end of the river has pretty much ended, fish will still eat a well-presented dry. Yellow and orange Stimulators, Mercer's October Skater and the Sedgeback October Caddis are all possible flies you can present on this river. Other good flies to throw right now are Rubberlegs, brown or black in #6 or #8, Perdigons and Olive Hotspots. Get in on the late season action on the McCloud before the rains come and blow it out.
