Good reports came rolling in this past week on the river below Lake McCloud. The flows were dropped to the summertime norm of 220 CFS and there was a corresponding jump in turbidity. It is still definitely worth fishing, the gage on the lower end of the river is just above 2. Salmonflies are beginning to come off with a smattering of different Mayflies showing as well. Good flies now are Rubberlegs, Jigged and Hunchback Green Drake nymphs, Olive Hotspots and your favorite Perdigon. Fishing tailouts with streamers like Barr's olive or black Slumpbuster or your favorite Sculpin will produce. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Bryan in Outfitters at 800-669-3474.
