McCloud River

The McCloud River has started off with a bang and the color of the river is looking like the normal McCloud river we are accustomed to. Late April and early May was a little chilly in the McCloud river canyon but a couple extra layers and good fishing solved the chilly weather. But I think the cold weather is behind us and the weather forecast is looking great! I have been finding better fishing on the shallower rigs, dry dropper,  than the deeper indicator rigs. There haven't been many sightings of the big salmon and golden stoneflies yet but there has been some--this warmer weather should help! yellow sallies, pmds, and baetis I have mostly seen.
