More good reports on the McCloud as the river is fishing well and clarity remains good. As we are approaching the warmest part of summer you can look to see more Caddis hatching toward evenings, the October Caddis pupa migration will be happening as well. If you are Euronymphing, try the UV Sallies, your favorite Perdigon, and a Rubberlegs. For dry/dropper use the larger brown Chubby Chernobyl and a Olive Hotspot, UV Sally, Iron Sally, or a Jigged Bird's Nest. 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.
