Fishing on McCloud Reservoir remains hot despite some smoke haze and bananas on board haha.

The Trout action on McCloud is fantastic. The fish are biting many different offerings; bait, plugs, spoons, flies, all working well. One of the best ways is to slow troll (1 to 2mph) a hammered gold dodger with various curly trailed grubs dipped in Pro-Cure shrimp krill oil. That set up will catch a limit (5 per person) of Brown and Rainbow Trout in no time. The Trout are mainly holding from the surface to 30 feet.

I will be fishing McCloud and a few other lakes ( Whiskeytown Kokanee, Siskiyou an Shasta Lakes ) during August and September give me (Scott) a call 530 905 0758 and let's put a trip together.

I will begin fishing the Klamath River (Salmon and Steelhead) in late September I have a few openings left in November for the fall Klamath Steely/Trout action on the flyrod/indicator or conventional casting/spin gear.

I am currently booking December 2021 trips for Winter Klamath Steelhead action, as well as Brown and Rainbow Trout Lake trips.
