McCloud River Report
5-9-2024
The Fly Shop
Keep your eye on the turbidity gage down by the lake, it is showing the river has good clarity below all of the tributaries. What is coming out of Lake McCloud is beginning to show some haziness. However, all of the tributaries are clear and it should look great in the Conservancy. Some March Browns are coming off, and with the little bit of weather this weekend we could see some Green Drakes popping. Definitely bring Rubberlegs, brown or black in #6 or #8, Perdigons and Olive Hotspots. For the March Browns, a good 'ol Pheasant Tail in #14 will do the trick, bring some Adams in #14 when the fish are up top. Keep your Salmonfly dries ready, brown Chubby Chernobyls in #8 and and the Rogue Stones both work great. This spring should be a great one. To reserve a day with one of our expert guides to experience one of the most picturesque streams in the north state, call Chris or Bryan in Outfitters at (530)222-3555.
