McCloud River - CA (Siskiyou County)

Website
Current River Conditions:
Best fishing has been in the AM hours, slightly tapering off through the afternoon. As the late afternoon shade reaches over the riffles, runs and pools of the McCloud, The fishing gets better as the day ends. Insect hatches are comprised of caddis, pale evening duns. Sometimes callibaetis will produce some surface feeding in the early afternoon. The McCloud river should provide you with a great time and some great fishing!
Upper McCloud River flows
McCloud River at Ah-Di-Na
Lower McCloud flows near Bollibokka
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
Wading boots with studs and a wading staff are a must on the McCloud, which is full of irregularly shaped rocks that can be very slick. The best results are produced by anglers who move from run to run. The more water you can cover, the more fish have a chance to see your fly, ultimately improving upon your existing good fortune of being out on the river, fishing! Be on the look-out for rattle snakes. Use a technique called High-stick-nymphing in the pocket water and deeper chutes. Re-fish all your way back to camp or the car throwing streamers into pocket water, next to downed trees/logs.
River Fact:
The McCloud River rainbows (Salmo Shasta) may be the most famous strain of trout on the planet Earth. At the turn of the 19th century, these were the fish used to first stock most of New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and other potential trout fisheries all across the western hemisphere. So, that means we could trace Madison river (a river in Montana) rainbows back to the McCloud River!
