Few of these hanging around
Been dealing with the slog of Covid the last few weeks. Following is reports from my sources on what is currently going on. First the McCloud is living up to it’s name of the McCrowd. Lots of pressure from the fans particularly on the weekends. Ah Di Nah has been at capacity and the rough camps also. Pick a rock and stake your claim. Great bugs to use right now that I hear are scoring fish are Peaches and Cream, Brush Hogs, and dark nymphs in general. Dries that have been bringing up fish are Humpies, Stimmies and Parachute Adams. You’re very likely to see Golden Stones around too so use them during the day and evening with a dropper. On the USac I’m hearing that the Goldens are sporadic so far but the warm weather this coming week should perk them up. Believe it or not too there are still Salmonflies on the upper river north of Dunsmuir. The lower river has actually been seeing some lake runs (encouraging) so if targeting them think rubber legs. Otherwise the river is low and clear so thing about nymphing during the day using LBS (little black shit), S&M, soft hackles and Hares Ear. Evening hatches are strong if you select the right area, PMD’s, Pink PMD’s, Cahills and Golden Stones (right at dark).
Check out the pictures below from our visit to Surprise Valley Hot Springs and what the area offers.
