The McCloud is in excellent shape right now. Water clarity is ideal, and hatch activity is firing on multiple fronts. Golden Stoneflies are the headliner at the moment, along with a solid mayfly hatch... Green Drakes, March Browns. Salmonflies are expected to follow here shortly.
Dry fly action has been very good, especially midday. Nymphing remains very consistent throughout most of the day. Some big browns have been caught as well swinging streamers through tailouts.
Fowlers Camp and Lower Falls received a CDFW trout plant last week... worth targeting for bait and spin anglers.
The farthest reaches of the upper water houses wild rainbows and the native McCloud River redband trout... one of the few places left in the state to find them. Worth the trip.
Memorial Day just passed, so expect more and more company on the water, particularly on weekends.
Lake Siskiyou is fishing well off two CDFW plants from February. Water temps are sitting in the mid-40s, but a warm weekend ahead could push things up a degree or two. Rainbows have been spread out across lake and responding near the surface. Guides have been running full loops around the lake to stay on them, trolling pink orange colored stick...

Rainbows have been spread out across lake and responding near the surface. Guides have been running full loops around the lake to stay on them, trolling pink orange colored stick baits right around 3 mph, landing plenty of stockers and the occasional fish up to 3 pounds. Plenty of short strikes reported as well... getting hit hard but unable to keep them on the hook. Some shore anglers are pulling small limits by throwing spinners early in the morning off points and in the back of coves. A lot of fun action.
Look for the action to stay in the upper part of the water column as water temps increase over the next couple of weeks.
Lake Siskiyou is putting out a serious trout bite right now, for both numbers and size. Browns and rainbows to 5-6 pounds are hammering trolled spoons in the top 25 feet of the water column. Folks are reporting excellent catch counts, upwards of 10-20 fish a day with plenty of size mixed in. Flat water and clear fall conditions have made this an...
