The flows below Lake McCloud through Ash Camp are now just above 200 CFS, the clarity on the low end is great. This could be a decent option to check out as the weather will be warming somewhat over the weekend. Of course, going over the pass and down into Ah-Di-Na would not be advisable for the time being. Smaller BWOs and midges will be the primary insects coming off. Bring your S&Ms in #16 & 18, & Sweet Peas. Olive Hotspots and the Holopoint nymphs are good flies as well. To target the largest Browns, the olive and natural Slumpbusters stripped or swung have been paying off. We'll be looking for the lengthening days when the sun begins to warm the valley and we can look forward to Salmonflies and Green Drakes. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Chris or Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
