McCloud River Fly Fishing Report
Photo’s By Carl Mogerley & John Rickard
This August proved to be a productive month on the McCloud River. Some
hefty fish from the lake have reached the upper stretches surprising
many anglers with incredible fights and acrobatic get aways. Gotta love
it. The water clarity and temperature drastically changes from the upper
stretches all the way down to Bollibokka. Up top it has about 2-3 feet
of visibility while the lower river at Bollibokka is damn near gin
clear. The algae seems to be the only downside to fishing this time of
year and diligent fly cleaning is necessary. Sadly, there are no real
hatches and any mayfly that happens to get off the water gets waxed by
awaiting dragonflies, mandibles slicing them in half in an unfair
dogfight. However, fall is near and caddis hatches are scheduled. It
will be a great time to swing through a riffle or skate a tail-out. We
hope to see you out there.
