New to Fly Fishing? Here's a Great Place to Learn...

Upper McCloud River

The Upper McCloud River, near the base of Mt. Shasta, provides Northern California anglers with crystal clear, ice cold water everyday of the season. A perfect place for beginning anglers, or younger anglers. The Upper McCloud can, at times, be absolutely loaded with aggressive rainbows, browns, and even the occasional brookie. Dry flies often work well all day long, and a small mayfly or stone nymph dropped under that dry fly will almost ensure success when placed in the right spot. A perfect stream for that lightweight 2 or 3 weight rod. The mix of hatchery and wild fish, averaging 8-12', can provide plenty of action. They're not giants, but they sure can be fun and plentiful. A fish over 14' should be considered a real trophy here. The wading is of moderate difficulty and the access is easy and plentiful along Hwy 89, and also near Fowler's Camp. After June 1 it's a great place to wet-wade and beat the summer heat. This is a great classroom for younger anglers just getting started in the sport. Call for information or available guide dates."

==================

If you're just getting into the sport, this might be a great river to check out. Sounds like some great trout fishin' in some awesome scenery there.
