Fishing is still great on the McCloud. The Golden Stones are happening
McCloud River - CA (Siskiyou County)

Current River Conditions:
Mike Parker was on the McCloud again this week and this is what he wrote:
"Fishing is still great. The Golden Stones are happening in the Conservancy. Pressure is light. Water temp at the Conservancy was 56.4??. I have been able to fish dry/dropper and dry fly only. No Indicators! Wet wading is the way to go."
The Fly Shop's?? Tips:
Fishing techniques vary during the spring on the McCloud. Fishing dry flies in the shallow tail-outs and lips of runs should tease up numbers of rainbows and brown trout. Fishing a big Stimulator dropping a Micro-May is a favorite approach. Suspending nymphs under indicators in the deeper slots, pockets and pools can keep a fly rod bent. Have split shot in sizes AB, AAA and SSG.
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.
