The good news about this latest storm is it was warm, any snow that had accumulated has now melted and access into Ash Camp should be no problem. Clarity on the lower end towards the lake is good and it is clean coming from the dam. We advise caution at this time of year if you head over the hill to Ah-di-na as slides, rocks and mud could block the road. There has been some good midge and Blue Wing Olive hatches, nymphing with the small, black flies is the best way to hook up. The BP Weiss, Two-Bit Hooker, and black Micro May are all working. 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.
