Visibility on McCloud is Improving

The Fly Shop

The visibility took a downturn last week and is again improving, the gage on the lower river is showing you should have enough visibility to fish. Larger, dark nymphs and streamers like the TJ Hooker, Rubberlegs and leeches are what fish will eat in these circumstances. Other strategies would be to fish Sculpin patterns on sinking or intermediate lines. The good news is the fish feel super comfortable and can be caught right at your feet. 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 800-669-3474.
