Well kids Fall is definitely showing her colors and the fishing continues to improve. Unfortunate]tely the McCloud River is still gubbered up with nasty turbidity but people are dealing with it and catching some nice fish, as in big brownies. It’s that time of the year and the angler migration to this magical river is starting to peak and of course the October Caddis have something to do with that also. Best use your favorite large legs with a dropper of choice. You really don’t have to fish deep, with the current color the fish are not hiding in the depths…..spookability is very low.

The Upper Sac continues to fish good. This is prime time for this river and of course here too the October Caddis are doing their thing. Bugs of all varieties are having their last encore before winter sets in and the fish are feasting. The entire river is fishing good so pick your favorite beat and have at it. Big bushy guys on top and small nymphs for you nymphers will get you into the game. Of course it’s October so expect crowds but this wonderful river offers so much access in its entire 35 mile stretch you can certainly find solitude if you just spend some time searching for that special spot.

Had another grand day with Captain Buster on the Rogue. Fall brings in a run of fresh steelhead and they are full of fight. Swinging or running the bobber has been working and the Fall colors are so special on this legendary river.

If you have any further questions give Bob a shout at the shop or just stop in and bug him next time in the area.

Cheers
